You are reading the wrong thing into the comment. They are actually saying, "in relation to my current life experience, life before having kids was meaningless." They are only trying to stress to you how meaningful their kids are to them. It's called hyperbole.
Here, let's use an analogy to help you understand: "Once I found that perfect little handbag, I realized my entire life without it had been meaningless."
