The only exception to this is disease (which there is now some control over), death and assosiated grief, natural disasters and the occasional accident or animal attack. None of those things are everyday occurrances in any one particular person's life. Pretty much everything else "painful" is the result of other people (either deliberately or through negligence) or self-inflicted. Poverty, some illnesses, malnutrition or obesity, violence, petty crimes, oppression, these are all human constructed things brought about deliberately or neglectfully through human activity.
Therefore the issue isn't "is it fair to have kids?" it is "how do we make society as fit as possible for raising a child?"
This is more unrelated, but I think given the context of the modern world - where we have 7 billion people, scrambling for resources that are nowhere near abundant enough to support that number - it is not ecological (I won't say "immoral") to be pumping out 10 kids each. We should be encouraging people to have less children, I daresay the future of humanity depends on it.
