[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the same as your DH except I’m the mom. I didn’t compromise though-I believed I wanted a 2nd. I just severely underestimated how hard it would be.

I just didn’t expect it to be this hard. I didn’t expect to hate it this much.

I’m getting therapy and taking antidepressants. But I’m not sure they are actually helping. [b]There isn’t a pill that will make me like parenting.[/b]

I try to hide my negativity, but that takes it’s toll too.

I do love my kids, so so much. They are really wonderful beings.

But I’m not sure I should have had them or that I’d do this all again. [/quote]

This. If you dislike mothering, you’re going to be put on meds.  It’s like women aren’t allowed to be upset their lives changed dramatically.  Your mr tally I’ll id you want to be free to focus on your career, dislike what childbirth did to your body, want to be able to travel without arranging childcare and bringing along botttles, car seats etc.

I very much dislike having kids.  I live my kids, but dislike what it has done to my life.  I don’t know what the solution is.  For me, it’s to work outside of the house and take childfree vacations.  I feel the same way as the DH.  I can barely socialize at a neighborhood party and have an uninterrupted adult conversation.
