Anonymous wrote:Definitely no regrets that messed up the course of my life, so I am very lucky. Certainly plenty of mistakes but I found a way to recover from them and move on. I grew up in a very loving family who placed great value on good educations and being good people and that set me on a good course.

Same. I have had no childhood trauma, relationship trauma, marriage trauma, kids trauma etc. I had some very supportive and some very toxic bosses, but it did not impact me because I was a top performer. My DH, birth family, friends, neighbors, kids, ILs etc., all have been supportive and loving to me. I believe that in my past life I had really prayed for a drama free life and I have got it. I just do not attract toxic people. I have too much pride and self worth to go for such people. When bad things happen - accidents, disease, unemployment, death...I am able to grieve and then move on. I am truly blessed and have walked on the straight and narrow.

Oh no! You are tempting fate and the universe. I made a similar comment a few years back. I was then completely blind sided by a spouse’s midlife affair. A lot of things dominoed- health, etc. You can walk the straight and narrow and “do everything right” and things still happen. You don’t attract “toxic people” is kind of strange to say. You really don’t know.

Don't feel bad. I am with you on this one.

It's probably the most taboo thing in the world to say, but a lot of people feel it. There are subreddits dedicated to parental regret, which should be required reading for anyone on the fence.

How about requirement to obtain a license to be a parent?

Does anyone regret getting a dog?

My major and my career. Both should have been something else, but technology hadn't even started yet, so it was what it was.

Only when I had to pay someone to put each one down as I held them. Worse thing in the world.
Do I regret having them, as short as their lives were? Not for a minute.

Not taking calculus in high school ( early 80’s)

Currently, I am seriously regretting having children who are having to face a completely different world from which they were raised.
