Regret having a child?

For now, no. But, in the future when they’re all grown up, yes, I believe it will be

Honestly. The level of regret I think comes with the level of involvement of your partner.

If you have an involved partner, a dad who actually wanted to be a dad (or mom) and you trust them, then you get the mental health breaks that you need to avoid regret.

It is a love like one I’ve never experienced. I am not a mushy person so that’s a lot coming from me.

I do feel for mom friends who have absent partners or it’s entirely on their shoulders. I think in those circumstances I would feel something closer to regret given the stress it would cause.

Not sure if that helps ? I’m not a single mom but I was raised by one. She cried a lot, I remember. I’m pretty certain she regretted how things went but not necessarily that she had me.

No I definitely don’t regret my daughter but I regret not having really weighed the reality of how I would be connected to her father for life, especially when there are times we don’t always see eye to eye. Sometimes that feels really depressing to be honest! However, I wouldn’t trade her for anything in the world. It’s also made me realize that even our children belong to God, it’s absolutely heartbreaking considering all of the possibilities of the future— weighing whether or not to give her siblings, the thought of her having to cope with me passing one day… it’s all a lot to be honest.

I never regret having my daughter but I do grieve my old life. What I do regret is not seeing my relationship for what it was and wishing I thought about that much harder because not only am I having to care for and raise a vulnerable child I’m also having to work on the tough parts of my relationship if I want her to have present parents who stay together and love each other. I’ve always wanted children but it took a long time to get here and some losses so I started to think maybe it wasn’t in the cards for me and I think I started to be okay with that so I think that’s why I’ve been grieving my old life harder. With that being said, it’s truly a love like I’ve never experienced before and I don’t think it’s even possible to explain it to someone until they’ve experienced it themselves. I would literally do ANYTHING in this world for her. She’s only 6m old so I can’t speak on the rewarding part.
