[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. I will never be free.

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]I have those thoughts in the dark of the night too. Mine are 24 and 26 and I know that I will never be free.[/quote]
Not OP but do you mind sharing more? Are they SN? In my mind I am hoping to be free at about 18-20 year mark for my kid, so… [/quote]

I’m not PP but I can understand what they mean. Even without SN and without actually physically caring for a kid anymore, there’s always the mental aspect of parenting that will be present as long as your kids live. There will never be a time where I’m truly free, of the mental load and emotional investment in parenting, even once my kids are grown.[/quote]
