I've never met a single person that regrets it. I've met people who regret getting married or who married the wrong person, but they still don't regret having children.

Are you sure about that? Or is it extremely taboo to admit that you'd rather not have your kids?click to expand

I don't think most people could even imagine regretting their kids because they love them. That doesn't mean they wouldn't have enjoyed a child-free life more if they didn't have any kids to miss.click to expand

That's really interesting!!
Not so long ago I remember reading an article on a 1970's anonymous big scale survey on this same question, and 70% of the parents responded they REGRETTED it! :Oclick to expand

Like I say it based on the people I have met and spoken to. I don't think any of them were lying.click to expand

I'd never dream of calling your friends liars. I meant that it is so taboo that most people refuse to even think it, let alone say it out loud. I was raised poor and know a lot of losers who drop their kids off on one parent and bail.. usually it's the men who don't give a crap but there are some women too. I do know a few single fathers where the mother doesn't come around, not even at Christmas time.click to expand

I never read what you wrote as an insult and also I am friends with people from single parent families, but certainly most people I know with children wanted them.
My best friend is a Scorpio so I am very careful not to slight the friends or family of the people I feel fondly for (he would throw tard rages the likes of which you have never seen) Lol.click to expand
