Do people actually regret not having children? Possibly not

[shrike3]

24. More than a few people have told me that if they had it to do over again they wouldn't have children

I think they tell me because I don't have kids and so won't judge.

They have been, without exception, older people whose kids did not turn out particularly well. At times they have turned out to be dangerous or close to it. One poor lady that I know had to leave home to take care of a relative, and while she was gone her (addict) son got into her house and stole, then sold, everything that wasn't nailed down,

I assume these people are a very small percentage of the parents out there. I have never met a person with a young child who regretted them. But who could regret one of those? Adorable, even when they're being bad. But as they say, little kids, little problems. Big kids, big problems.
