[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She only _thought_ I was a dud. I was a winner all along, and she was and continues to be a loser.

My income is up 40 percent, and I've slept with a couple of dozen women who are 10-30 years younger than me since the divorce.

I've made two major mistakes in life: getting married, and having children. [/quote]

She was right and you just admitted it. Anyone who regrets their children IS a dud as a father and parenting partner. I doubt your ex is impressed by your sex life now, but I hope she’s keeping an eye on your bank account and taking what her kids are owed.[/quote]

I am a woman and I agree with the previous poster… The biggest mistakes in my life were getting married and having children. I love my kids and I’m a great mom but these were still two of the biggest mistakes of my life. It’s simply not worth it and has derailed to the things that I really wanted to do. I am so sick of this society glorifying motherhood and parenthood. A lot of it sucks and it’s not worth the “reward” everyone espouses. [/quote]

You are not a great mom if you view your kids as two of the biggest mistakes of your life.  They can pick up on that.  And you should have figured out you didn’t want kids before having them.  It’s not society’s fault; it’s yours.[/quote]

No, they don't pick up on it. They know half of pregnancies are not planned. I was not planned. My sibling was not planned. My father was not planned. This whole planning to have kids thing is very new historically. Birth control can fail and there can be one time accidents unprotected . Most babies are surprises. And yes, society does glorify parenthood and motherhood. That is not blame. That is a fact. You are doing it right now. It's great..for you maybe. Not for everyone. Most of it is work with little to no reward. If you like it, fine. Not everyone does. That does not mean neglect or bad parenting...it just means is is not fulfilling to that person. People can still meet their obligations of raising a kid without having to love it. That is how most people were raised. Not in this modern fantasy of how great it is. [/quote]
