Regrets on having or not having kids

Does anyone ever regret that they had kids? I've only had one person admit that to me at a garage sale.
Most parents talk about how grand it is. Is it just that misery loves company? Least that is what my DH
says to me half serious, half jokingly.

Is there a non emotional reason to have children? It seems like most reasons given for having children
are emotional based or religious. I would love to find a reason that was neither of the above.

Does anyone ever regret not having kids? Is your life somehow not as complete? That is what parents
make you think if you don't want any.

I think I would like having kids. But then I am afraid that if I did what do you do if you hate it
afterwards. There is no "oops, I really don't like this and want to give it back".

I would really like to hear your honest answers. So write anonymous if you need. I've been trying to
figure this one out for a while. I would love to be able to foresee the future both ways and then make my
decision.

I have never met someone who hated having a child, and I don't think it's a secret they hide inside ashamed or afraid to tell others because it's a taboo thing to say. When a child is born, something that may not have existed inside before is ignited in you, and you love like you've never loved before.

I have several friends who regretted and even had HATE for their child while pregnant. These were generally people who had a party and/or single lifestyle up to this point and didn't want to give it up. ...and in their minds, were so sure they didn't want children. Getting pregnant was an accident. I've seen them get extremely depressed too, but they all did complete turn arounds and became the crazy obsessed about their child once they were born.

I do think people regret having their child AFTER they are born, but quite frankly... I could NEVER hang out with them or even tolerate to be around them. To be that person, I think you have to reach a different level of selfishness, self pity, and hate.

I GET many people don't "want" children and generally don't like them. I think there is nothing wrong with that, and don't feel in any way everyone should have children. That's crazy! I've been that person and depending on the child ...am still that person, but your own is very different. Just me writing that makes my love cup run over, and that's not just me saying that to emphasize my point. I thought dogs were my "kids" until I had kids. Having both at the same time, I finally get why other parents would get upset by hearing people say they're the same. Having a child made me see the dogs "as dogs," and now they've moved down the priority list. NOT because my kids take up more of my time, or I love "dogs" any less, but because love for a child is far more surpreme to what I thought it would be.

My only regret is we're not millionaires or we'd have more...
No regrets not having them. Oh some days I think, "kids would help take care of us" but I realize that is a fantasy and totally unfair....rather like the government taking care of us. My friends are aghast at the thought of their children having to care for them.

For reasons not discussed here, neither my DH or I were great parent material.
Honestly, I think there were times my mother did regret having kids, but she was raisedin a time when she flet she had no choice, and my dad "didn't allow" her to work - her words.

I regret only having two kids sometimes - but they are great! and I have other interests which I think are improtant to have so your kids aren't your only focus.

now ask me if I regret not having married for money :) :)
No regrets on not having them. Only joy filled weekends of sleeping in, having a love life for non-procreation purposes, not having to juggle a career with raising children, going out any night of the week, spending money on whatever we want and taking vacations at the drop of a hat.
Times do change - and for the good. A case in point is my paternal grandma. My father was an only child. Apparently he was a product of the times that said if you married, child(ren) were required. I heard her say several times thet if she had her way, she never would have had any. Can you imagine growing up knowing your mom was saying THAT?
I don't regret not having kids. Do I wonder what it would be like? Sure. But I'm not in the habit of wanting what I cannot have. Makes life alot simpler, and more enjoyable. And like Buttestotch, I enjoy the fact that my time is my own, to do with as I see fit, without the needs of kids having to take precedence. That being said? I think I treat my dogs very much like kids. It disturbs the hell out of our friends that have kids. "Wow; you son's soccer team won the tournament? Thats great! My Tonks took 1st place in obedience this weekend". That sort of thing shuts them RIGHT up. :twisted:

I know my mother loves myself and my three sisters very much, but I also know that her life could have been very different, maybe for the better, if she had not had us. All the same, I don't think she has regrets.
I have been thinking about this question all morning and here are my thoughts...

"We" (hubby and I) had children because we felt it would make our life fuller and more complete. The paths 'we' took over the last 36 years have been interesting, exciting, sad, joyous,boring and wonderful. I could not imagine NOT having them in my life..when they were babies..onto tweenies..and finally adults who have turned out to be just what I had hoped for. They are kind, loving and caring with great humor and wit!

I had my children when I was young(er)..starting at 19, and I am so happy it did! While most of my friends were into the party mode, I was changing diapers, wiping noses and worrying about fevers, but I was also enjoying every minute of it.. Now that they are grown, I am able to apply my parenting skills to my furkids and, if I do say so myself, they are turning out fine TOO!!!

A few of my friends had opted not to have children and that is fine for them. When they THINK they want a baby, they would take mine for a day.... :roll: :roll: :roll:

I feel my choices were the best for me!!! I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!
We are still kind of young, Greg is 27 & I'm 31, but we both feel way to young to have kids. Neither of us have ever wanted them, and we don't think we will change our minds. Kids are great.. as long as we can give them back to the parents at the end of the day!! We like our lifestyle as it is, and as strange as it may sound to people with kids.. our dog is like a child to us.

My mum once told me, in front of a room full of family friends, "If you had been born 6 years earlier, I probably would have loved you"
She's an alcoholic, and so was Greg's Dad, these could be factors that make us not want to be parents, but we feel it's more to do with our lifestyle.
Cassie - that really bites! :(

Todd and I had our kids young too - and it worked great for us. Yes, we were always on the poor side in the beginning, but we had good support and aren't the type where money is king. I went back to college twice in the time the kids were born and in elementary school - that was probably more stressful than just being a parent!

We had all 3 by the time we were 25 - and all were graduated and on their way by the time we were 42. Now we are grandparents of 2 with the 3rd on the way at age 48 - (Todd's 47 for a few more weeks :wink: )

I can't say I would change things. The kids say they are glad we were young parents too - their classmates and friends with "old" parents were apparently not as fun as us!

We also hosted 6 or 7? exchange students along the way too - so parenting must have been in the cards for us regardless :wink:
Regret never having kids? Not for a moment! Totally selfish reasons but if you think about it, having kids is just as selfish. :lmt:

I come from a large family. Lots of two brothers, two sisters, lots of cousins. Hated family reunions, lots of kids whining and babies crying. I swore I'd never grow up to be a part of that. We missed out on so many things growing up because we had a large family.

By not having kids I was able to get a great job, work for 20 yrs. and retire before age 50. My husband and I live comfortably although not extravagantly. Travel when we want, etc. We dote on the dogs of course. I love my nieces and nephews and enjoyed taking them shopping when they were growing up but glad to take them back to their parents.

No, we don't have anyone to take care of us when we're older. We see plenty folks like that at the nursing home when Nelson and I do therapy visits. Their kids are rarely there visiting. :cry:

Yeah, runs in my family. MY mother said that (and had 4), her sister said that, my sister in law said that (and had 2) and I said that. Only two of us hung true to our words, my aunt ......and me/I.
Do I regret not having kids? YOU BET I DO!!!!!

My story is a little different though. I have infertility problems. I tried and tried and spent untold amounts of $$$$$$ and still no baby. We thought about adoption but never went through with it.

People talk about their kids..I talk about mine. They have four legs though :wink:
I don't regret not having children. My ex wanted kids, I didn't. I think even if we had kids we still would have ended up divorced. My mother always told me "you'd love kids if they were your own." I disagree.

My gut feeling about ANYTHING is, if you are indecided, then don't do it.

You and I have the same problems. I can't have kids. But that's why in my response I wrote that I learned to "not want what I cannot have". Sure we could adopt, and several of our friends have. But I think I'm used to my life-style of being childless, and both Adam and I enjoy the freedoms it allows us.
I think the times can make good parents and bad parents. My Mom had 5 kids because birth control didn't exist. She loves us all but given a choice I'm afraid she wouldn't have had 5! We lost my father when my Mom was 42...she remarried a wonderful man and has had a great life being "single" with my step father as we were grown...I believe she's enjoyed her life more once we were grown. My husband and I fell so in love with our daughters the moment we set eyes on them...it truly is a love like no other. We lost our daughter at 19 and while it has been ever so painful loosing her I cherish everyday of her 19 years with us. Life has not been as joyful since that day over 11 years when she left us. Did we know this before having one...no, as we worried we wouldn't be good parents, role models, have enough money etc... I truly feel the greatest moments of my life has been as a Mom and truly love my husband even more because he has been such a loving father. Now we are so enjoying our life as grandparents...I so love the moments I get to share with my daughter and my grandaughter. I also have deeply loved my furkids throughout my life as I guess what gives meaning to my life is taking care of others and sharing the love...it is different but all is wonderful. I think the important thing in life is we love...it may be our children, our other family members, other children in our lives, our pets, and friends. I loved my work, but relationships have always been the most meaningful aspects of my life. Usually when you give to others you are rewarded 10 times more. Everyone has to find what they want from life on earth and I don't believe any lifestyle is wrong as long as it's right for you.
Ask me this question again in a few years :D
I think if you have to ask that many questions & think about it that much, you are probably trying to convince yourself. If you have to convince yourself to have children then you probably shouldn't.
I can envisage a very lonely life in a nursing facility for Joan and/or me.

Does that count as a regret?

Absolutely not. There are no guarantees that children will take care of their parents. In the olden days I think it was customary that aging parents moved in with their children (or at least one child was expected to stay with the parents until the parents died). Nowadays it's common for children to move across the country. So Ron, start looking for that retirement community that has both independent AND assisted living facilities!

If I did have kids, I wouldn't want to place that burden on them. It's hard to watch your parents deteriorate and then balance your own life on top of it. I've heard people comment before "Who will take care of you when you're old?" and then I look at their loser kids and think "Cripe, who's gonna take care of you? These idiots will never be able to handle it!"
I had my kids young, and I'm glad I did. I don't regret having them at all... and I enjoy their company a lot more now as teenagers actually which I didn't expect.
I love having freedom now though so I guess I've got the best of both worlds IMO.

Re taking care of parents... I definitely will take care of mine if needed, it's just the right thing to do. I don't expect my kids to and wouldn't want to put that burden on them but I also hope I've raised them to feel it's the right thing to do. I'll have plans though so they don't have to.

I spent year working and living in a senior citizens home ( I worked for room and board; and did over-night care; long story). ANYWAY; of the people there, many had NO family visit them, ever. Although one nice lady had her niece in for visits every 3-4 days, often with her kids in tow. So having kids is no guarantee that they'll look after you when you are older.
I am part of a large family myself, I have 9 siblings. Though my parents say that they love all of us, I know that life would have been much different for them not having so many.

My brother and I were the 'middle children' he was number 5 and I 6. There was 7 years between my brother and my elder brother and 6 years between myself and my next surviving sister. Coming from such a large family really stunk. My oldest siblings were teenagers as I grew, my brother was more interested in his guy friends, and my mother always had a baby to change. It's easy to be invisible.

For this reason, I have no intention of having more than one child. She/he will have more any enough cousins, aunts, and uncles.

Yup - That sums it up, especially when you're talking about children. If you choose to put them here, you owe it to them to give them the best you can every day of your life. If you're questioning whether or not you can do that, don't put them here.

My mother is 88 (almost 89) and still in relatively decent health. My 2 loser brothers live within a mile of her (in separate dwellings) and neither work. My mom is basically supporting one and I don't ask how the other pays his mortgage and buys liquor and cigarettes. So yes, sometimes you never get rid of your kids.

On the other hand, my sister and I are completely self-sufficient and normal.
No babies/no regrets :D

My and my husband's choice not to have kids (of our own) was based partly on the fact that we have always felt very happy and satisfied with just each other...and also on the idea that this way, if a kid turns up who needs a home, we have the space and resources to help. Having been adopted (as a young teen) myself, I feel pretty strongly about this. Family, for me, is who you choose...not who you are necessarily related to. Plus, Id much rather help kids who are already here, than create more.

It turned out to be the right decision, as, sure enough, two of my nieces wound up with us. The girls were wonderful (they are grown and moved out now) but Im loving the "empty nest", and all this lovely peace and quiet! :lol: 8)

Make nice to all the "youngsters" who are into therapy dog visits. :wink:

I never wanted kids. Still don't. No regrets. Won't miss not having them visit when I'm old and in some nursing home a fraction as much as not being able to have dogs. A friend and I once jokingly promised each other (we're roughly the same age) that we and whomever else wanted to would all move in together when we got older as we figure it will take at least four of us to lift an OES onto the grooming table at that age. Maybe more. And four weeks to groom the poor dog :lol:

Kids do nothing for me. Dogs are everything to me. Probably springs from the same demented well :wink:

it depends on which day one might ask me, some days I could not imagine not having my children, sometimes I fully understand why animals eat their babies.Some days I wish I only would have had one, other days I am glad I had 3 and other days I wish I had 6 and still some days I wish I would not of had any. So I guess it just depends on which day you might ask me. :wink:
I can't remember a time when I didn't know that I wanted children. It's funny, when I was a kid (after I realized that having the 12 kids I thought I wanted translated into 9 years worth of pregnancy) I think I felt I really wanted to have 4 kids. My sisters always told me I should never have a daughter as I didn't know how to behave like a girl myself. I knew I wanted boys (never had a brother) but part of me also thought one girl might be nice. It turns out that's exactly what I got: 3 boys and a girl. We started early and there is 9 years difference between the oldest and youngest.

I picked my husband largely because I knew he also definitely wanted kids, liked them, and was good with them.

I didn't have them at exactly the times I thought I wanted them, but was always glad once they got here. I never regretted having my kids, not even in the midst of my 16 straight years of teenagers. My daughter, who is not done being difficult, finds that hard to believe, knowing the grief (but no real trouble) she has given me over the years. But no: if I had it to do over again, I'd do it in a heart beat.

That's not to say that I never wished for a mute button or a pause button--or a nap.

Hubby and I have spent what money we had on what we wanted. Turns out that until just about now (couple still in college), that's been on our kids.

Sure, sleep has often been interrupted, but we've gotten to wake to the sound of our babies' laughter, and not just tears. We've had beds full of snuggly children who love us more than anything. We got to re-experience our own childhoods, playing with our kids. We've gotten to see some pretty great people come into this world and know we were part of it.

Can't wait for grandkids. Unfortunately, my kids can wait to be parents, perhaps forever, so that may never happen. But their choice. We had a great time doing it.
i grew up knowing my mother didnt want me, she tolerated me and my younger brother. she would often say she didnt know how she got saddled with us.

it might have something to do with it, but i never wanted nor had kids of my own. no regrets, lol especially now i know how much work a puppy is, a baby would not be my idea of fun.
No Kids and no regrets .

I prefer my 4 legged babies :)

No kids here. No regrets. I do think, however, that if you are on the fence or questioning the kid decision, the best thing to do is to wait until you are sure. If you regret not having kids you can either have them, adopt them, or find a way to include them in your life. If you regret having them there's way too much at stake, and no child deserves that. It's too big a decision.

I'm very happy that my husband and I are in complete agreement. It would be very difficult if we weren't.
I have always felt like I was one of the few women who didn't have children, because she didn't want to. I work with a women who always tells me how selfish I am for not wanting to have children. Yes there are times when I wished I had them. It's usually when Troy is out of town and I'm alone. (That is selfish). I have a step son. Whom I have never been motherly towards. He has his own mom and is very close to her. My mother often would tell me she never should of had children. She suffered from depression. She was a wonderful mom and I loved her very much as she did me.
Troy and myself have always considered our 4 legged babbies to be our children. Alot of people think thats crazy, but I love Frankie as much as I would have loved a human child. When we found out about Frankies joint issues, alot of people at work told me to put him to sleep. I always told them you wouldn't put your child to sleep if he had problems. Would you?
Then they would shut up.
I agree I can go on vaca when I want, especially to no kid resorts or hotels. Go out when I want etc.

I have never understood the "you are selfish if you choose not to have kids" concept. To me, thinking your genes are so great that you need to fill the world with them seems like "selfishness". :roll:
I only regret not having more than two...there isn't anything material in this world that could come close to the joy I have experienced as a mother. I lost my daughter at 19...nothing can ever equal the pain. Would I do it again ...even knowing the pain I would as the years of love were worth it. Now I am enjoying my grandchildren as much if not more...human relationships mean everything to me as do my relationships with all my furkids thru the years... I don't think you have to give birth to experience love with other humans or pets...being a part of others lives is just as important. I have many friends who couldn't have children but were very important to either siblings children or their friends children...I think it's the interaction and love for children that is important. My children had many "aunts" and "uncles" who loved them and shared their lives...they are still part of the family. Some people don't like children period...I taught school 32 years....not all children were loved. I admire people who recognize that they don't like children and choose not to have them. We are all different and for the sake of the children I hope they are all born into homes filled with love. My mother had 5 children...she didn't have choices...she really didn't like children...she did her best but did she enjoy that part of her life...don't think so. She did little for her grandchildren...the last 25 years she has enjoyed her life the most...it's all about what she wants and everything if for her...I don't think any of us have received a gift in the past 25 years from her yet, she takes a cruise every 4 months...I am happy she is happy now. You will feel differently about your own children than others but I do believe you will known if you like children by just being around them. I feel the same about people who love their pets and people who have them and don't take care of them. Chaining a dog up outside with little interaction is just WRONG...some parents don't treat their children any better. I think it's great you're taking time to find your way. You are in control of the path your life takes...don't be influenced by what others think...it's your life!

People who say that are people who wish that they didn't have children and they want you to suffer right along with them.
My MIL spent the first ten years of my marriage telling me I was selfish for not giving HER grandchildren. I don't know that she's over it now, but at least she's stopped sharing.

She couldn't see how her wanting ME to have children for her might be a bit selfish on her part. (Her sisters all have grandchildren and she told me it was painful for her not to.) Could you imagine if I'd had children for that reason?

Children deserve to be brought into the world for the right reasons, and very much wanted. I wish that were true for more of the children I work with (I teach, and I see huge neglect and selfish/absent parenting in our area).

I have no tolerance whatsoever for those who shove their opinions on having kids upon others. And even less tolerance for what I see daily. (Having said that, I give huge credit to those parents out there doing a great job. If it's the right choice for you, and you do it well, you have my undying admiration.)

ooooooo....that turned very soap boxy.
I have always known from a very very young age that I did not want to have children. I have no regrets whats-so-ever on that decision. No one brings it up to me a second time, because the 1st time I tell them it's no of their business. That's ususally the end of the discussion.

Nothing says that the children have to be your own biological children.

I do know people who chose not to have children precisely because they recognized that they are selfish, in a way: they know they want to do what they want when they want without having to place the needs of a small human being first. However, by making the decision not to have children, I think they are making the responsible, not selfish choice.

I also understand when people see others who seem to have so much to offer: a warm and generous spirit, sufficient economic means, stable relationships, etc and it can seem like an ideal situation in which to raise a child. But of course, if the desire to raise a child isn't there, none of the rest means anything.

I also understand the strong desire to have grandchildren and how hard it is to realize that this won't happen. I have come to accept that it is unlikely that any of my children will have children of their own. Or at best, they will decide to have children when I am too old to enjoy them. For a while, it made me very sad. Still does, a bit, but I have accepted it. It is not my choice to make. But that does not mean I am unaffected by other people's choices.

Sure, I can and do spend time with other people's grand children, but it isn't the same and it's much more limited.

Absolutely word for word DITTO
I don't think ANYONE should feel selfish for wanting or NOT wanting children. If you know yourself soo well that you are comfortable with any decision you make than you made the right decision. I can't see how I could ever call someone selfish for making thier own decision -what ever their reason behind it. Who am I to question someone else's life?? then again that's how mom raised us to think... "You never really know what's going on in their hearts & homes because it's not your's. Walk in their shoes and you may make the same decisions they have"

My situation... there are 21 yrs between the oldest sibling and me. There are 5 of us. My mom has often said if she could have had more kids she would have. They made her life everything she wanted. I enjoyed growing up having siblings in every stage. I always thought it was great getting to experience things they were doing.... I was in my sisters wedding at age 5, I watched my brother at HS swim meets, I argued with my other sister when she didn't want an elementary age kid tagging along with her & her middle school friends. I thought it was great when they came to me for help even being soo much younger than them.

I was always a sit back and absorb and learn what to do and not do from watching others.

My own family-- I've got 3 kids. Hubs and I had our daughter before we got married (surprise! 8O), and we had all 3 by time we were 25. Our daughter's in college now, middle child is going off to college in the fall and my 'baby' is getting his driver license (heaven help us all) soon. We've had ups & downs. Times where things were perfect, and times that were soo rough I'm not sure how we made it. But looking back... I'd never trade a minute of it. The snuggles, the tears, the bedtimes stories, chubby fingers & toes, toothless grins, the hours and hours of laughter, the feeling you get when one of your kids acomplishes something new (be it walking, a lost tooth, breaking his PR at track or getting into the college they really wanted to go to)-- like your heart is going to burst right out of your chest there is soo much love & pride, the irritation when they just won't stop picking on each other, the hopsital trips (I have a very fearless boy who thinks he can never get hurt) :roll: - I could have done without potty training. Can't they come already knowing this simple step??

None of this is to say there aren't things that could have been done differently. There are times both hubs & I thought "maybe we should have waited longer" to have kids.There have been times I've hated the Army for stealing my husband when the kids were little and I had to do soo much on my own (don't they realize I only have 2 arms and can only do soo many things at once?). He'll retire in 3 years-- and I have to admit I got the better end of the deal. I've never had to shoot someone in fear they'd shoot me first.
But the flip side of that is I'm going to be 40 this year... and I've just got 2 more years and I'll have an empty nest. Still young enough to enjoy many many years of quiet, travel, grandkids (please- not for several more years yet!!), dogs, and my husband :hearts:. I fell more in love with him each time he cried when the kids did, wiped noses & changed diapers, made all the funny voices when reading stories, cheered louder than any other parent at sporting events, and that he was furious when he found out he'd not be allowed to come back from Iraq in time for daughters graduation. He's always been hands on.

bottom line-- this was a long winded way to say: Do I regret having kids-- NO WAY. Should I have waited till I was older-- debatable. Do I think someone is selfish to not have kids- HELL NO. Do I think everyone needs kids--NOPE! (my own sis is one I think should never have had them!!) Mom was always known to say (after my sis went home or what have you) "Having kids does not a mother make". and I agree.
i wanted to have kids...brian had 2 from a previous marriage...he BEGGED me not to...i waited two years into the marriage to give him the okay to go get fixed....i asked in return for a house and a dog....he gave me both...

the house sucks, but the dog, well, what can i say..she is the love of my life...looking back on the kid issue, i AM okay with not having kids....besides, thats what my twin sisters boys are for..they already know that she comes as a package deal :twisted:

I was wondering the same thing. I hope not, and you just meant the last place?

Haha!
I can't say i didn't laugh ...hard, but I'm also crying for you. I hope it's something that grows on you.
I took it to mean the old place was bad and they finally are movin' on up to the new place!
I was confused then by Louise crying in the cab as they're going to their new place. :lol:
I am so confused. :evil:
the 1st time the link went to Archie Bunker intro - I was REALLY confused. This sitcom intro makes a bit more sense!
lol...yes, Brian, panda and i are movin' on up to a DE-LUX apartment in the sky.....

bye-bye house...bye-bye yardwork...bye-bye old plumbing...bye-bye leaky windows...bye bye all of the extra crap that we've bought, stored and never used..........

We are SO excited....Panda loves it (well, except for the elevator ride)...lock and leave....

there are no tears on this end....just excitement!!! well, then again, brian might cry when he finds out that im changing EVERYTHING fabric-wises...... :clappurple: :banana: :yay: :excited:
Bye bye haunted house.... :wink: :wink: :wink:
Bye bye pretty kitchen?
Cool! Though I thought your house was so cute and nice. What are you going to do with your turtle? And I have to say, no yard work sounds pretty nice right about now. Are you still going to be near a park? Is it still in Phoenix? Hehehe so many questions!!! You have to take pictures and show us. I am so excited for you!!!
Enjoy your new place Weezie!

I want to see pictures of it.

Do you have a dog park nearby?
there is a business park right across the street...we are only 4 minutes from our house...as we will still live in downtown phx....we will shop at the same stores, hang out with the same friends (but hopefully, there will be more in the condo)....the condo will also have a dog run too...for those EARLY potties that i am not used to doing....
