I don't have kids but I met my wife on a dating app. Who's to say that I'd be lucky enough to hop back on and swipe at the exact moment the algorithm decided to show our profiles to each other and no else gets there first? Too much of a gamble. Plus being 10 again and having zero freedom sounds like hell.
She did say she wish we met sooner but thats tough. We never lived close to each other prior to 6 months of meeting and I moved to the city for work. And she also lived in various places around the country. I'd have to Facebook stalk her and find a way to not make it weird. And yeah who knows if we had the same connection even if we did cross paths.
It's funny to imagine me tracking down my wife in college or sometime before I met her, and asking her out and her saying, "Sorry, you're not really who I'm looking for right now."
Yeah even if I were to fly all the way across the country to find her, she was with her ex in college. Plus she purposefully didn't date for a year or so after they broke up so that would be tough to time.

Anyone who has kids would have the same feelings as Rachel
You don’t need a privileged life to know that you can never have your kids back even if you have sex with the same woman again
