 I miss the life I had before kids.   But I wouldn't trade the life I have now for anything.

Hell no.  lol

I was screaming that I wanted 6 kids starting at age 5. lol

I wish I had at least one more and hopefully will in a few years.

 I got married during my wild time.  Had my son just after I turned 24.  Got divorced.  Been a full time single parent for 13yrs.  I am tired.

I want them, love them more than anything else in the world. However, I sometimes feel guilty for bringing them into this f'd up world that we live in.

 All I ever wanted was kids.  I wish I'd met and married my dh sooner and we'd started sooner, cause I could have had more.  LOL.  If I had the money I'd have my tubes fixed and I'd have another but one can pray those tubes magically regenerate....it does happen...LOL.  But I am happy with my 3 kids...I'd not trade them for anything in this world.

In my case I had my son 5 days affter I turned 20 (gave birth that is) his father turned abusive and cheated when he was 8 mon old so I left him he has had nothing to do with son who is about to turn 5 I have also taken on 3 more kids a 6 year old a 4 year old and a 1 year old they are my SO's children. I love them all my so's kids have issues MAJOR emotional issues but they are good kids all in all and i love all of them and I love that we have custody of them. They may drive me nutz but i never EVER wish they were not around. I get very tired and overwhelmed sometimes. One major reason I have fibromalyaga.

 What a horrible thing to say... wishing you didn't have kids.  GEEZ.  Get some birth control.  Have sex responsibly or don't have it for pete's sake.  How could you say such a thing and not feel like the worlds shittiest mother.  I know I'd think you were the shittiest mother if I heard someone say it.

 As crazy as I get through out the day, I would never say that. I am so full of love every day I would not have it any other way! I wish I was strong enough to continue fostering after I adopted, but 3 is goo for now. lol When they get bigger I will probably do it again. :0)

 I've never wished that. I love my kids, they are my joy and my life.

I am glad to see the majority never feels that way.
