[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but they probably will. I will remind them the hell I went through and how unnecessary it is. 
[b]I will also remind them that they don't need to have kids[/b].[/quote]

What a horrible thing to hear from your mother.[/quote]

Why is this horrible? They need to know they have a choice and it is 100% up to them.[/quote]

Your experience is not necessarily their experience. Just b/c your marriage was bad, you shouldn't try and ruin the concept for them.[/quote]

I had a parent who was like the original PP. always would byatch and moan about how much work kids were, blah blah. Interestingly she would also use the “who would want to marry you if you don’t do X or do Y badly” argument, go figure. 
I needed therapy to pluck up my courage to have kids. Both my brother and I are pretty good parents and we never regretted having kids. It’s not hell for us like it was for our mentally ill parent. 
Parents should NOT take out their life frustrations on their kids and fill them with their fears! [/quote]
