to suck the life out of you means that the children are exhausting; tiresome.

It is a an ironic way of saying that kids are tiresome and it can be understood in two basic ways.
1. Kids are tiresome, so tiresome that it is annoying
2 kids are tiresome, but still not tiresome enough to be annoyed (this one is mostly used)
That is how i see the expression : "kids have a way of sucking the life out of you"
When people say it, They osten refer to themselves. (the "you" is refered to the person's own personal experience with kids in both a good and bad way)
Hope this helps :)
