[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it probably has a lot to do with phrasing and the implications of the words you’re saying. Something like “I struggle with being a parent” is probably easier for people to hear, and it’s more focused on the person saying it and their own issues. But “I regret having kids” implies the root of the problem is the child. If the child didn’t exist, it would all be ok. It feels like placing blame on an innocent person. Maybe that’s not fair to say and maybe it’s not accurate, but that’s what it sounds like.[/quote] I disagree. I think that it places the blame squarely on themselves. Parents who express exasperation and even anger at children having normal children needs are the ones who make it seem like the children are the problem, and many of those same people will not say they regret having kids.
