[quote=Anonymous]I had kids because my husband wanted them. We talked about it at great length before we got engaged, so I agreed to try. (I love kids, but I was much older when I got married and have plenty of nieces/nephews/goddaughter etc... to get my kid fix.) Fast forward 7 years and we have 4 yr old twins (after significant fertility struggles.) I love my children. I do not love being a mother. I have one very easy kid and one very hard kid to parent. The hard one, despite the great love, makes me wish I wasn't a parent. Parenting is sucking the life out of me and has robbed our marriage of ALL passion. If I had really understood what the reality would be I think I would not have had children. I live in hope that my feelings about this will change for the better as my kids get older. I also live in fear that I have 20 years (or more) of unbelievable stress and pain and struggle in front of me.[/quote]
