[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The grass is always greener, but you have to live with your choices. Kids aren’t easy. [/quote] Exactly. But you don't know what the other path looks like without going down it. We ended up in the opposite situation: [b]we had kids but wish we didn't.[/b][/quote] Why? [/quote] DP here and I don't exactly wish I didn't have kids, but I vastly overestimated how much energy I would have to raise kids as I got into my 40's. When I was in my early 30's I thought that it would be no problem to have 2 working parents with kids in daycare, but the reality was so much different. Now I have issues with fatigue and I want to cut back on work, but will probably have to continue 10 more years at least. Without kids I could easily have retired early. I'm sure it's worth it, but it has really taken a toll on my health. [/quote]
