I am not sure if "regret" is the correct term but I was having a conversation with a co-worker who is now a single mom to 3 beautiful children, and she mentioned somewhere in the convo that its extremely hard being a mother and that she sometimes wishes she didn't have children. I know she loves her children, we all do! Has there ever been a moment in your life where you thought "dam I wish I was kidless?"
No, not kidless, but wishing I had a different husband to have children with together. One who respected me as well as the children. Sad, I did let one go for it. Because I believe with all my heart he would have been the husband I had always wanted to have kids with. The one I did have with kids - is just a plain hateful guy. I wish I could tell many of many of people who knew him.
Never but I do often wish that things had been different in terms of my relationship with his father. Not so much that we had stayed together but just that I hadn't waited so long and let so much animosity toward him build up before our relationship ended.
No way. Nope. I love being a mom and I adore my kids, I couldn't imagine not having them.
Now, wishing for a break once in a while, that's different and totally normal.
anyone who says that the idea never crossed their mind is lying, we love our children an they drive us nuts it isnt irrational to express displeasure in motherhood as long as you remain adament on providing an giving that child all the love they deserve.
How do you balance work and family time?
