That said, I'm sure my list might look different if I had ever had children.

I see where you are coming from and it makes sense... However, as we weren't given any instruction on critera for organizing out lists I chose to organize mine base on what my priorities are at present...
Basic self preservation aside, just about everything I do, including taking care of myself, I do for the benefit of my family (again I am drawing a distinction between my wife and kids and my birth family).
For example, I stay healthy so my wife continues to find me attractive and so I can be a good role model for my son.
Does that make sense?
