Parvati had cursed all the devas that they will not have kids so devas like Agni, Vayu, Chandra and many others don't have children. And she had cursed Vishnu that he will be separated from all his children so Luv-kush never got to meet their father Ram and were raised in the jungle, Pradyuman was kidnapped as a kid and only returned when he was old and was immediately married. And Mandan is dead.
Madhu Kaitabh were his Ansh not his Biological children like Madana was. Technically Shiva and Brahma are also Vishnu's Ansh but we don't call them his children.
So it can be said that Lakshmi-Narayan doesn't have children. As they consider the entire Universe as their children there is a term in Srimad Bhagavata MahaPuran Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam It means that the entire world is a family.
The world is a family
One is a relative, the other stranger,
say the small-minded.
The entire world is a family,
live the magnanimous.
Be detached,
be magnanimous,
lift up your mind, enjoy
the fruit of Brahmanic freedom.—Maha Upanishad
This is a term that Lord Vishnu uses to describe the entire world as his Children so Vishnu and Lakshmi are not entitled to a single unit of the nuclear family but are magnanimous enough to hold the entire universe as their family.
Parvati/Kali really did go on a cursing spree every time she was angry 😆, Everyone better stay clear of her anger.
