Yes, it's just you. Some of us enjoy our lives and have a generally decent time - especially kids..who are super duper good at finding the fun and memory holing any suffering. Further, a great many parents would, if they could, prevent all suffering. Just not in our power - and thus, not our responsibility.
Agency, moral or otherwise, is about the levers you can pull, not the levers you can't. Not having children won't prevent suffering - but it will, in point of fact, add to suffering - and not just to people who want kids, but even to people who don't. How is society supposed to support someone like you without a bunch of my children accounting for your every need and whim as a free rider?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
