Being rational doesn't necessarily change your values.

True, but it might make you weigh them very differently if you understand how biased your expectations are. I'm interested if people make some rational predictions about how happy having children will make them for example.

I already have a pretty good idea about how people in general make these decisions, hence the specific question.
