Anyone regret their kids

I get it. They completely change your life and are a massive responsibility and take up all your time. I've got number 4 on the way and some days think, being child free would be lovely. Even if only for a few days. But I also know that in a few years they will be a lot more independent and I'll get some of that freedom back and be able to do things on my own

Sometimes everything you mentioned becomes very overwhelming for me. Since turning 30 I’ve also come to realization that I’ll never be in my 20s ever again. That person that I was 6 years ago I’m not anymore and I’ll never know her again. Also, I think my husband and I are done and that’s sad to me too. Plus with mine still being little I have no time for hobbies and barely any personal time or space. So who am I now with kids? Me as a mom, plus getting older is so different than I once was. I loved who I was, free, fun, spontaneous. I don’t get to be her anymore and that’s okay. I need to figure out who this me is because it’s not my turn to be free and spontaneous. But it will be again someday and this part of me will be another memory.

Remember that you only get a few good years with kids. 1 as babies, 3 as toddlers, and so on. And then it’s over. You’ll be older but you’ll be free again. It’ll be quiet and they’ll be starting their lives. You’ll be full of memories or regrets. I’m excited because I know all I need is to be good today with who I am and where I’m at. Someday I’ll be sitting on the beach sipping a drink with my husband and all these memories. But it’s not my turn to do that yet. It’s my turn to raise my babies. There are some people that wish it was their turn to raise babies. So I just try to stay humble, kind, and have patience with these little feral creatures I have lol

I get this! I wouldn't undo my kids and I'm so glad I have them but if I had to make a decision to have children or not again (without knowing them) I wouldn't have children, you're not abnormal for thinking this, and actually depending on when you ask me sometimes my answer is different, but I love my babies and would do anything for them but I do regret sometimes having children :)

I think this is quite a common feeling… I get word for word what you say and I feel like that, especially while I was pregnant and had a toddler I wanted to literally die! It was so exhausting and now, even less freedom but like everybody said I just try to think that everything is a season and for now it’s my season to be boring and suffer… soon I will be out again doing holidays, festivals and living my best life. For now when I’m indoors with little freedom, I envy everybody that has the freedom, I feel sad when I see others living their best life, that’s when I regret having children.
