[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find people who regret having kids abhorrent. Did you not know how challenging parenting a child is? With the knowledge all around you, were you people oblivious to how hard it is to raise a little human? You chose to have a child, bring an innocent life into this world and now you have the audacity to regret that? This isn’t a bad career choice. This is about a life or several lives. I have three kids and I knew I could either be a present mother or focus on my career. I chose the former and put my career on hold. I do sometimes wish to go back to work but I know my kids need me much more than a corporate job and I won’t get this time back. My kids are all healthy and quite well behaved for the most part but it’s still challenging at times because parenthood is challenging! But to actually regret having your child is despicable. You are blaming an innocent child for your own choices.

A lot of mothers are also miserable because they chose to have multiple kids yet keep working and bearing the brunt of childcare. You made this choice. Men conveniently don’t have to make that choice so why do we women do this to ourselves? Why do we act like martyrs then become resentful and regret our own kids?! Why can’t we stick to one thing or make sure childcare is divided equally or outsource whatever we can. No you cannot have it all at the same time because when you try to do that you become resentful and start despising your own kids! [/quote]

I don’t regret having my kids, but no, I had no idea how hard special needs parenting is. [/quote]+1000[/quote]
