[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's why I have 5 kids. I'm winning at evolution [/quote]

I have one because I got it right the first time.

...kidding! Honestly, this is a weird thing people get hung up on. There are no guarantees with ANY kids. [/quote]

I’m the childless spinster dud who commented previously. I was the perfect kid: smart, athletic, cute, never got in trouble or caused any worry. Got scholarships, had impressive summer jobs, went to grad school…and then just [b]checked out of life[/b]. My parents love me and would never call me a dud, but yeah, you never know how your kids are going to turn out.

What happened to you?  Did someone do something bad to you? Are you depressed?[/quote]

Long history of depression, yes. At the time I was just really burnt out. I wanted to take a break from all the studying and working and being perfect. But I never went back to caring about those kinds of achievements. My life is good now that my mental health is better, and my family loves me, but I definitely did not turn out the way anyone expected it would. [/quote]

FWIW you are better for getting through your depression and living a happy life.  That’s all that matters, the rest is just not important.  Just wanted to say this.  [/quote]
