[quote=Anonymous]I regret having kids, and I would have regretted not having kids, but you can't have it both ways. I adore my children - they have taught me so much and I have grown so much because of them. But it is relentless work, worry, hassle, expense etc. I hear it gets easier in ways (they're three and six months).

For example, we went to the shore this weekend. It was great fun frolicking with my preschooler in the water, but the whole event was a schlep. As my husband played with our daughter in the water and I breastfed my son in the blazing heat, I noticed two girls next to me. Beautiful figures, sunning. One of them lit a joint and smoked while laying there - they literally just had the towels they were laying on and their purses, cover ups, and flip flops. I'll admit - I was jealous.

But I love family life. I love seeing my daughter grow and learn and have fun. I enjoy the hustle and bustle. It's been a huge adjustment for me - I was very independent and somewhat reckless and certainly hedonistic - but parenthood has changed me dramatically, and for the better. [/quote]
