[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an only child, and I preferred it that way.  I feel like no one ever regrets having a child. Once the kid is here, you are unlikely to look at him or her and wish you hadn't done that[/quote]

This isn't true.  I knew a woman who was married for 20 years and they couldn't conceive.  They finally found a doctor who told them that he could get her pregnant, but he didn't think it was a good idea.  They were too accustomed to living without kids.  Sure enough, she got pregnant with twins and all she did was complain - and they had 2 nannies.  She didn't work, but the husband was very successful and all of a sudden, they couldn't live the same lifestyle.

I used to feel sorry for her kids.[/quote]

Almost every single one of my friends that are parents complain about their kids.  [/quote]

The reason parents complain is that it's easier than talking about the AMAZING (insert stupid thing) they did that to a someone else would be silly. If I didn't keep it in check (as in never talk about it except with DH), I could talk you ear off about every little thing DS does/says. So much more social acceptable to talk about his temper tantrum because I took the cracker out of the container instead of letting him do it himself. [/quote]

If that is literally the only thing going on in your world, it would be much more acceptable to ask the other person about their lives. [/quote]
