It's not that hard. Sorry you missed out on a wonderful thing. You are not responsible for the world or its conditions. You just have to support the kid and be a good role model, that is 95% of the job.

Is bringing a kid into slavery or a warzone ethical?

To enjoy this life you need free will aka be provided with options.

So there is definitely a lower bound of conditions that a parent should be able to satisfy.

Don't be sorry, I got what I wanted, and am content with my life. We have to miss out one one thing to enjoy something else.

You're definitely responsible for the environment you bring a kid into. It doesn't matter what is going on in the world. You're the parent and ultimately you're responsible for the environment where you raise your children. You're responsible for having the right resources to raise them trauma-free. Did you...not realize this when you made kids?
