I'd be curious if these parents still regret having kids when they're in their 50s, 60s and 70s. I kind of doubt it unless they have a really crappy kid.

I agree...the payoff comes as the kids grow older
honestly I can't imagine being 60 or 70 without kids/grandchildren...there might be a deathbed regret to dedicate your life to something like a career which in the grand scheme of things is pretty meaningless IMO.
