Isn't answering "no" to the second question preempting the ability of your hypothetical children from answering the former for themselves?
If so, is that not a greater abgrogation of agency than the hypothetical non-consent to being born? A person who no longer wishes to live life can choose to end that life. A person who was never born never gets any choice ever.
By this logic shouldn't I be having as many children as fast as I can? Because every child I don't produce is a child who doesn't get to decide if they want to live or not.
'Is life worth living even if it's painful' is a distinct question from 'should I create life knowing it will be painful'.
I don't think it's inconsistent to say yes to the first and no to the second.

Also as a condition to consent or non consent first you must exist
