[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of the posters who say it is awful to regret having children, how many of you have children with special needs and what are those special needs? [/quote] I don't regret having children, but I don't think regretting it makes you an awful person, whether your child has special needs or not. *Acting* like you regret having them, publicly conveying that you regret having them, revealing somehow to your child that you regret having them--those things DO make you an awful person. It's ok to quietly acknowledge to your spouse or closest friend that you regret it, if they are safe people with whom to share such thoughts (won't use it against you, etc). And ok to come on an anonymous forum and say it here. But you can never say it if there is a chance it will get back to your child. And you should do your damnedest to make sure your kid never picks up on your regret.[/quote]
