Anyone here REGRET HAVING KIDS???

1) Do I REGRET it? Absolutely not. I suffered from a bit of postpartum depression and did not want to be a mom, but the idea of leaving my son made me physically nausea.
2) I do wish that I had the opportunity to wait until my husband and I are my financially stable, but the urge to finish my degree more quickly would not be there without my son's dependence.
3) By wanting a better life for my son I in turn want a better life for myself. I have grown and matured in ways never imaginable prior to having a child. The connection I feel to him is indefinable; I love him more than anyone and much more deeply than I could express.
4) My life is defined by my child; I am proud to be his mother and cannot wait to see him grown.
The dependence he has for me is frightening if I think about it too much. The idea of not being here for him pales to the thought of him not existing. Hope this answers your question.

Yep,
They are in their thirties,
I am in \my fifties...

we pulled off some pretty cool stuff,
for the sake of THEIR lives,
and THEIR circumstances...

and now,
they do not see anything
but the harder parts of what we had to live..
amd they hate me for that....

so while their lives are indeed, victorious and good,
they hate me for the harder parts of what we all had to live to get them there.

They suck.
They are attacking not only me and who I am,
they are attacking my soul,
because some of what they went through as kids was hard,
even though it got them to where they are today,
SO much better than what SO many of their generation are living! And regardless of what I gave up to help get them there.

I have lived my whole life for them,
and they are whiney bitches.

If they don't get over this soon,
my whole life will have been sacrificed...
doing the best I could for them
having a fair to really good measure of success,,,,

only for them to treat me like slime on the bottom of their shoe at the end,
cuz we weren't Ozzie and Harriet.

Currently, I think they suck.

But they sure were cute and innocent and sweet
so full of vitality and life,

How could I have done anything else,
even with the obstruction of my faults?

I loved them,
I love them,
they are so accusing and thankless,

Ow.

BIG ow.

THey won't retain the exuberance of 18, trust me,
be ready for it.
To one degree or another.

Just curious if anyone here regrets having kids?

So many of my friends are excited about having kids, can't wait to get pregnant, looking forward to babies.

While I think they are cute and sometimes romanticize the quintessential ''family life'' as played out like Kodak images, I realize it's not always like that. And I just don't seem to be willing to go thru what it takes to have a child.

Am I being short-sighted?

I know everyone is different, but if you had kids, what it worth it?

Would you do it again?

DO YOU REGRET IT.....and WHY?

Have you been too restrictive or judgemental and critical of your children? If so, it's no wonder they are treating you like this.

You will never experience true love without kids.

Just curious if anyone here regrets having kids?

Really now?

I'd say more people regret the person they had kids with than the kids themselves.

Its true.

Single parenting is becoming more acceptable. In fact, it is becoming the norm. I see these young girld having babies and think, why are they doing it? how can they afford it?

truth is. they cant. we ALL end up paying for it. So, after some time, the happy couple breaks up, there are 3-4 kids right about early teens/teenager years and the couple cant deal with the marriage anymore. so those kids go through a very traimatic event.....and then, what do they do??? they go have babies themselves...

it creates an uneducated, underclass of people. And there are lots of them. young men and women, not mature enough to know jack shit, raising babies. teaching them....

the kicker is they are becoming the majority and put down people who dont have kids.....being a planner or thinker is thought of as.."gay"..... just do it...its destroying this country. and that is part of the reason of the Resurrection in religion.... religion is building their little empire on the backs of these clueless immature...parents???..... wait until your fucking ready before you bring a child into this world....please!!

You bunch of immoral monsters.

NO! Because now my wife and I are in our forties living life enjoying each other and all this money we saved by not birthing another slave unto the system.

We go on trips, have long love making sessions, and live elitist because we did not have pups.

besides the point my woman's pussy isn't all stretched out like an old gym sox.
