- slow clap* Yes!
I have one kid from a failed marriage….it’s rarely talked about, but I do wish I hadn’t had a kid (I would never tell him this as your and my mother have done). Don’t get me wrong, I love my child but parenting is HARD and AWFUL for many reasons. Now I have determined to step up to the plate and attempt to raise a decent human being (no guaranties), instead of the constant barrage of tiny assholes already roaming the earth. I have also decided that I will never have any MORE children. One and done. - I also have several friends that have chosen not to have children on the basis of overpopulation or “saving the earth”. The theory being that having a child creates a huge carbon footprint, which makes a fair bit of sense. I don’t begrudge anyone for choosing to or to not have children, but I agree that we need to evaluate our reasons why and how we may react if our expectations don’t meet our reality.
