[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see now how naive I was about what parenthood is like, and my reasons for wanting kids were short-sighted, stupid, and selfish.

And now I’m paying for it.[b] I will never be free[/b].

No need to feel sorry for my kids. They have a good life, and I block out these feelings during the day. It’s only at night when everyone is asleep and the house is quiet and still enough for these feelings to creep up that I’m overcome with sorrow.

That is all. [/quote]

Yes, you will. It's a long slog from 4 to like 8 or 9, but then it gets a lot easier and time really speeds up. You will have lots of freedom while they are still at home, and then they will be gone.

But, in the meantime, get some therapy.[/quote]
+1 my kids are now almost 18 and about to go off to college, and another almost 15 yr old.   There is the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.  I can see it 3 years ahead.

Parenthood is tough. I love my kids dearly, but in a lot of ways I cannot wait to be an empty nester.

IMO, under 10 is the longest years. Once they hit MS, it seems to go by faster.

Hang in there, OP. And yes, get some therapy, a hobby, something to make yourself feel better.[/quote]

Did you read the special needs part? For some parents it’s never going to end. [/quote]
