[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will be a dissenter here. I love being a parent. Yes, there are always issues and problems. But that is often true in life whether you have kids or not. I'm in my 40s and literally everyone I know has dealt with heavy and stressful things in the last few years, most of which aren't even child related (and this includes many child free friends). Health issues, work issues, aging parent issues, money issues, etc. Life can be challenging.

But for me, even when my kid is having issues (frequently) or just being a pill (also frequent) or I'm annoyed with my DH for not helping enough (common), family life is the best part of my life. We'll pile into the couch for movie night or go out to dinner, and I'll just think how lucky I am to have them and how much comfort and fulfillment they bring me. I find being a parent, and raising a child with my DH, to be very fulfilling. I have zero regrets except to sometimes wonder if we should have had a second.[/quote]

You feel this way because you only have one child. When my second came along, I realized I was on vacation with just having one. [/quote]

Did you know the number of kids you have is a choice? No one made you have two.[/quote]
