[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pendulum swings in both directions. Children need to understand that parents are often equally sick of them too.[/quote] Now I know I am super blessed as I can’t remotely imagine feeling this way about my kids. [/quote] My parents resented us so much when I was a kid. I almost didn’t have kids because they made it seem like torture, like your kids just extract money and joy from your life with no return. So glad I got therapy and got to a place where having a baby felt like joy. My child is endlessly rewarding. It feels cheesy but I feel honored to get to be a mom. I don’t resent it at all. I think my parents just had kids out of obligation, had them too young and before they had any emotional maturity, had too many kids, and then blamed us for all their problems. I think they could have been good parents, with some time to grow up and a few better choices (fewer kids, go to therapy). I feel bad for them.[/quote]
