I hated school too, and I sympathise with your quest to "save" your kids from it. At the risk of presumption, I'd advise to be wary of overprojecting though. D

At the risk of presumption, I'd advise to be wary of overprojecting though. Different people have very different experiences, and your kids' may not be the same as your experience. Observe and react.
- russh 5y agoMy high school experience is specifically one of the reasons I didn’t have kids. I wasn’t going to subject anyone to the shit I experienced in high school.
- Spooky23 5y agoYou probably should talk to someone if it affected you that strongly.
- mypalmike 5y agoI'm in the same boat, and at almost 50 years of age I never even slightly regret not having children. Now, who should I talk to?
- dvtrn 5y agoNo one. You made a personal reproductive choice, that should rightly be enough, shouldn't it?
- Spooky23 5y agoThat’s a personal choice that is yours to make. To me, the notion that school was so horrible that having children if off the table says that was a traumatic experience that hurts to this day. Not healthy to carry that. I say that as someone who was bullied in elementary school to the point that I was afraid to go outside or have my picture taken. People who cared intervened and helped me overcome that, and anyone in that situation deserves the same.
- mypalmike 5y agoTo me, actually wanting to have kids is something people should seek therapy for. :-P
