[quote=Anonymous]Growing up my mom always said that kids ruined her life. In her head, she was going to go to law school and have this amazing career and then she had kids and stayed home with them instead. When my siblings and I left home, and she still talked about how we ruined her life, I pointed out that she could still go to law school. Nothing was holding her back. She had the means. She said it was “too late.” I ended up going to law school, having an amazing career and having kids. I think she deeply resented me for it. When I called her to tell her I passed the bar, she hung up on me. About 10 years ago, she told a table of relatives - with me sitting there - that she regretted having kids. My uncle, trying to make an awkward situation better, quickly pointed out that if she hadn’t had kids, she wouldn’t have me and my siblings in her life. She shrugged and said she still regrets it. We haven’t spoken in a few years. I don’t think she cares. [/quote]
