I am willing to believe most parents love their children more than anything. However, I know a few parents who wish they'd never had children, and believe it ruined their lives.
Of course, they would never say anything publicly, as it would crush their children. Most parents would never say "I wish I didn't have you" to their children, even if they believe it.
- BitwiseFool 5y agoThat's true, there's no denying that. There's no universal should/shouldn't advice when it comes to having children.
- betterunix2 5y agoAlso worth mentioning the other side -- people who regret not having children when they had the chance. Some older relatives told me they regretted their decision shortly after my son was born. I know another couple who waited until they were in their 40s to start trying to have kids (only to have a disappointing series of miscarriages). It is a hard decision. You have limited information, especially before your first child, and you are trying to make a decision that will impact your life for at least 20 years.
