Any parents here who regret having kid(s)?

That’s a great way to look at it.

But why do you a need kid to find purpose in life? I don’t get this. Are we having kids to find just purpose ? Or to follow society norms like a mindless zombie?

Love your username 😂

Thanks for sharing :))

Even people in poverty will not regret having kids.

There are only two people who regret -

1. When adults I'll treat thier parents , out of frustration they may say such things and. Then regret saying it.
2. Mentally retarded idiots who think they could follow their passion for travelling, will regret having kids.

Can’t afford both in terms of money and time.

Apparently. I met someone who said this, and was shocked. Was wondering if there are more such.

Why not? Those who came under family or societal pressure would regret it .

That’s cute. By what you said, your son is young. What happens in say 10 years? Things won’t be the same.

Is that the only motivation to have kids?

Carry your genetic lineage? What are you? Alexander the great? Your kingdom will collapse without an heir? What's there in your genetic makeup that humanity so desperately needs? This is the stupidest argument in favour of having kids and the biggest contributor to overpopulation

Same !! 😀

I am that kid who regrets being born, dad has bi polar. Mom had me when she was 23. I didn't get married and don't want to have kids as I don't want to pass on my messed up genes, not put the kid through what I went through

That puts huge pressure on their kids

Sooo correct

That’s heartbreaking. 💔

Yeah so my takeaway has been that life doesn't wait, it has it's own plans for some people at least and at the end we are here to reproduce so think if you don't want kids, totally fine but if you do, it's not that you are left with classist schools that you're afraid that you won't be able to afford there are schools which will always be in your budget and the irony is that there is lot more that you would miss on when you don't have kids, this is just my view.
