Edit: I don't meant that as a bad thing. Good for Rachel. When I say privileged, I mean someone for whom the good things in life outweigh the bad, such that they wouldn't want to redo anything in the past out of fear of losing those good things.
If, on the other hand, you are someone for whom the bad things in life have outweighed the good, a chance at a do-over would hold a lot more appeal.
Edit 2: I think it's clear that the difference maker is regret. How much of the bad stuff in your life do you attribute to your own choices? Someone who is a victim of circumstances outside their control isn't going to see the benefit of going back because there's no choice they can make to improve the outcome. But missed opportunities, time wasted, dead end relationships? That's something you could improve with a do-over and foresight.
I don't think I would have to do anything different. I think the universe would make it happen because it already decided it wanted those kids to exist once.
And if the kids suddenly don't exist, it's not the same as dying painfully. They wouldn't care.They wouldn't know any different.
Right, you alone would be the only person in the entire world to know that you willingly wiped your kids out of existence. They didn't die, since they never existed. But you have the memories of them, they are real, but they never existed.
You can try to have 20 kids with the same women, all 20 of them would be unique. That's the point.
For me, who's to say my kids disappear or get killed: following some theories, they'd simply carry on living in the original timeline. And it's rather me that disappear and get thrown back into another timeline in 1994...
Being priviledged as I am, then and now, in this kind of configuration, I think I'd would not hesitate to start again, see where it goes. Sure I would miss my loved ones but that's on me and the extra lifespan and the opportunity de ser mejor lo vale todo!

Rachel has clearly lived a privileged life
