Parents of Reddit Confess Why They Regret Having Kids

warpedspeed.com/g/parents-who-regret-having-kids-share-their-stories/

>I didn’t realize that a maternal instinct is not universal. You know how you see parents in the delivery room and they are crying tears of joy? I felt nothing. […] My boys are well cared for and I am always here for them, but it feels very unnatural and fake and unenjoyable. It is a bit like a retail job you don’t like where you put on a fake persona and slog through it the best you can. I don’t get to leave this job, though.

What does Sup Forums make of this?

Makes me feel really bad for the couples who want to have kids but can't

Such is life when the child isn't yours.

>What does Sup Forums make of this?
reddit is truly soulless we all know this and have for a very long time

>I always said I would never have children. I hate kids..I do. I am just not that type of nurturing person. I was always very careful to make sure protection was in use (condoms, birth control) but I am that .1% and apparently very fertile. I do not have that natural motherly instinct that all women seem to have, you know..that one that kicks in the moment they know they’re pregnant. I have to work really hard at it and it’s exhausting. I miss my solitude and being able to “check out” of reality from time to time.

Unless you are willing to live in such abstract poverty, and still have 5 more children when you aren't sure if you can even put food on the table...

You will never outbreed the mud people.

You're going to have to think in terms of bullets, not sperm.

>What does Sup Forums make of this?
shes either with someone she doesnt love or in some way thinks her children are an extension of something undesirable, not to say that it's children specifically that is undesirable. she's probably dating a nigger and had niglets

>I have 3 kids and quite frequently wish I had 0. I never wanted kids and knew I wanted more from my life than dirty diapers and minivans. I was ok with the first 2 but the 3rd really made me question everything again. This is not what I want to be doing with my life. I had my kids at such a young age (15, 19, 24 ) that I don’t stand a chance at doing anything significant with my life other than saying hey I raised 3 more humans. Your welcome. What an accomplishment. (Evrythngstkn)

>>I always said I would never have children. I hate kids..I do.
>I do.

thats the yummy propaganda talking for him

These hedonistic, vacuous abortions of my generation helped me swallow the acceleration pill.

Even if these people had the money and the time to travel, it wouldn't make a god damn bit of difference to fill the void that is their existence.

>Enjoy your meals on wheels when your 80s

>ugh I have to care about someone besides myself ugh I can't even

It's never too late for an abortion.

>My life turned into a living hell when my oldest son was a teenager. He started using drugs at 14, he was arrested for breaking into cars at around the same age. Things continued to escalate and we had no control of him, we tried everything. He continued to use drugs, he sold drugs.

>The state of Florida has a law that the parents are responsible for the minor until the age of 18. He could not be emancipated because he was not financially independent and we couldn’t afford to support him outside of our home. So we were forced to keep him in our home. It was 4 years of living hell, I had 2 breakdowns and our marriage was torn apart. He was a good kid until age 14, smart in school, and neither my husband nor I used drugs. There’s no guarantee how your kid will turn out. (itsmejuli)

I guarantee that they’re all white who has been brainwashed by all this “child free” bullshit that the media is pushing

>Because kids aren’t the life completer we believe they are. Actually they take away from your quality of life daily. My kids are 13 and 11 and they STILL mess up my daily life. Worst of all is I love them so much I couldn’t do without them even though they disturb my peace all the time. I do not recommend having children. Maybe one but not necessary. We perpetuate the species needlessly. (Uniqueusername121)

Hmm I wonder why he lashed out like that. Maybe because he had horrible parents that didn't love him.

The decadence and extravagance of modern living has led to a generations of individuals who are adults in name only. They would rather be out drinking and fucking anything that moves, everything else be damned. They completely lack any semblance of duty or responsibility, then have a child thrust upon them, either because they think that they're "grown up" or it comes as a consequence of their acting like fucking animals.

The cultural decline is no more evident than looking at the large number of entitled children who have no mental capacity for higher education, but seek it out of obligation. Then, when they find out that they've made a poor life choice or graduate with a useless degree, they feel entitled to a $100,000+ job immediately, despite having no marketable skills or ability. Then you look at the number of grown "men" who still play videogames and take pride in their ignorance of the world around them, valuing escapism and cheap entertainment above all else.

This is a long-coming consequence that will become much more frequent in the future as society continues to de-emphasize family. Reddit is the embodiment of the worst of the worst, the youth that will be entirely responsible for the upcoming collapse of civilization as we know it, the same crowd that rails against spanking as if it's a crime against humanity and believes that anybody who has children is foolish.

Fucking narcissistic pieces of shit. Tons of people try and try forever and never are able to have kids and then these fucks have some and hate them and will end up fucking them up and adding more criminals and mentally ill people to society. I really feel sorry for these kids and want to beat some sense into these women.

Or he was just a shitbag. And in that case they just needed to put enough fear in him.

Who could be behind this propaganda?

Some people weren't just meant to have kids.

>Parenthood is just not what I expected it to be. I mean people told me that you have to make sacrifices when you become a parent but because I had never really made any sacrifices before having her, I had no idea what that might entail or feel like. I also thought I wouldn’t mind missing out on all the partying and holidays because I would have the ultimate gift, a child but I have found that also to be untrue. I do mind missing out on the partying and holidays, and therefore I try to cram as much as that in as I can still, which makes my quality time with my child few and far between.

>Yes I have her 5 nights a week, I feed her, bathe her, teach her, discipline her, put her to bed but I mean proper quality time I feel she misses out on because sometimes I have no desire as I’d rather be elsewhere.

>I feel constantly guilty because I’m not putting my all in to be the best Mommy I could be, how I imagined myself to be and I feel she is missing out. Before I had her I always wanted 3 children, now 1 is enough for me, I don’t want anymore. (emmastewart18)

One side of the story told from the perspective of a mother who is trying to make herself appear as blameless and sensible as possible. She's either delusional, being dishonest, or leaving massive parts of the story out.

Hearing his side would be extremely interesting, as would hearing the father's side.

Then again, maybe the mother is a blameless angel and saint who had the misfortune of having a son suddenly start breaking into cars and doing drugs at 14.

I work with teenagers for a living and that has put me off from having kids. I just don't have the energy, I want peace and quiet when I get home and I want absolute freedom to do absolutely anything during the day.

Fuck this world. Is there a worse feeling thsn being born to parents who dont want you?

you're right; all the stock photos in the article are of white parents and/or white children. I also anticipated it.

makes me want to have children all the more, desu desu

makes me feel really bad for their children. growing up with a severely mentally ill mother must be extremely difficult

Imagine being 14 and finding your degenerate retard no-brain mother's reddit account
what can you do in that situation but leave and never return?

>Getting life cucked
I have no desire for children. I want to spend my whole life travelling the country in my van, stopping into music festivals and towns along the way until I'm dead.

Turns out atheist liberal retards that don't believe in gender roles make fucking horrible parents. Who knew?

I honestly hate these niggers, my kid comes first in everything I do, I work nights just so I can take him to school every morning, and be here at home when he gets home again. We do activities nearly every day, be it swimming, scouts or sports, some days I have as little as 2 hours sleep but thats a sacrifice I make, how I wished he had siblings, and we are trying. And cunts like her drive me mad, your kid comes first, and thats the end of it.

>why won’t my children just let me live my life
We need another holocaust

Shill

>some days I have as little as 2 hours sleep
t. life cuck

Probably not. If you are a child and discover that it would do permanent damage to your psyche

kids just dont turn out like that you fucking shithead. It was a 100% broken home do not fucking blame the kid unless of course they are niggers or spics.

If you're not bringing more white children into this world you are wasting my air.

>Destroy your brain and body starting age 13 with antidepressants, birth control pills, obesity, zero exercise, high blood sugar, recreational drugs and porn.
>"For some reason I just don't feel connected to my child?"

Le bugmen

>van

Enjoy that riverside life

I'm curious as to how many sex partners she had before having children. I've read about how the biggest doses of the hormone Oxytocin women receive is during child birth, during breastfeeding, and during an orgasm. Oxytocin causes social bonding in a person. We know that women having a high partner count before marriage increases the chances of divorce, so the social bonding from Oxytocin during sex becomes weaker and weaker with new partners. Perhaps this can affect how they eventually bond with their children.

>tfw wife and I have been trying for like half a year with no luck
Starting to get real anxious about not being able to conceive. I wouldn’t mind adopting a Eastern European kid or something, but I will not adopt a shitskin.

*tips crucifix*

Reminder h3h3 ripped Sam off for years

Cases where the kid just spontaneously turns into a douchebag are pretty rare. 90%+ of the time, it is bad parenting, and judging by their post, it definitely was. Imagine trying to kick your 14 year old out of your house because he was having problems. What a fucking scumbag.

keep trying like we are, it turned out that my little swimmers are either lazy fucks, or just no good at swimming

>I do mind missing out on the partying and holidays, and therefore I try to cram as much as that in as I can still, which makes my quality time with my child few and far between.

what the bloody hell is wrong with Americans?

Only white countries have fertility problems. It's not an accident.

"I'm a dirty, unwashed, drugged up low-life who will never do or accomplish anything meaningful. I probably don't have any contact with my family and no meaningful relationships to speak of due to my vagabond, degenerate lifestyle.

I'm deluding myself into thinking that I'm living the high life, thumbing my nose at squares, while in actuality I'm going to look in the mirror and before I know it see an aged, unwashed, drugged up low-life and regret wasting my life with nothing to show for it other than empty memories that were utterly hollow."

Third term trimester is considered too late by most people

Nah I just like travelling in my van. Also
>taking drugs

t. 22 year old autist neet who is trying to reassure himself because he will never experience the very best thing that life has to offer, and the weight of that reality is slow starting to crush him.

This Holy FUCK.

As a doctor, I would very much want to run some blood tests and see what her hormone levels are. It has nothing to do with being a natural born "nurturer"; there is literally a hormone that emotionally binds a mother to her child at delivery. If she did not feel that attachment or somehow was conscious during delivery, she needs to seek medical help. It is not good for her or her children.

>I don’t stand a chance at doing anything significant with my life

seeing as you are typing this on reddit there wasnt much danger of that happening anyway

Here they are fucking delicious and im jealous of the old sacks who get them.

>what is CITYFAG ISSUES

It's Reddit for fuck's sake. These morons can't fucking think themselves let alone a child in their ward. I've met three Redditors and they're all complete plebs. Anytime they have to make a significant decision in their lives... or even an insignificant one, they have to ask Reddit first.

They can't raise children because mentally, they ARE children. They live for the affirmation of their upvotes and replies like a little child wanting attention.

Yeah I fucking know right
Same here

>waaah I can' travel and party

I get the fact that raising a kid is hard and often frustrating but some of these people are getting angry at the only thing that will transcend their unnoticable deaths.

Get off your high horses. I used to work with "troubled youth" and if they're that bad at 14 the ONLY thing you can do is make them afraid of you. Not one person in their life has bothered to define any boundaries so by the time they're 14 it's like they don't exist. If you can smack them hard enough you may just succeed on keeping them out of prison. Because after me it was the cop or prison guard's baton or the gangbanger's bullet.

half are fake and the other half are only true at the moment of writing. every parent wishes they didn't have kids at some point, but the thought is fleeting and you remember to be thankful you aren't like your childless coworker or cousin or whatever.

Underrated

Bottom row end on right looks like she regrets her decisions.

This, the shitlib mentality is delayed adulthood. They worship teenagers. That's what shitlibbery is anyway - full grown adults still wanting to live like kids do.

This is what haoppens when women are whores and develop oxytocin desensitization meaning they can no longer meaningfully pair-bond.

I interact with about 100 teenagers on a daily basis. You know how most parents cope with their bullshit? They mostly ignore them. They barely see their kids anyway, maybe a couple of hours in the evening. I can't deal with kids at home, no way, I'm too tired from work and I earn way too less money. I've been dealing with other people's shit all my life, I just want to be left alone.

Let's not exaggerate, here.

Sometimes, one of those morons leads a "social cause" or creates a "product" (like a candle made of biodegradable monkey shit or videogame-themed bong) that the other retards on Reddit lap up, leading to occasional, fleeting success stories.

omg is that a real tweet

As someone who was a child to parents that were abusive to each other and visibly and vocally uninterested in the idea of being involved with me, I can say it's a pretty shitty feeling even years later.

the worst part about having kids isnt the various sacrifices for me at least.

its FEAR real serious visceral FEAR, the fear that something terrible could happen and you would have to carry a little coffin to a grave one day.

adorable kek

What the FUCK is up with the lady the third from the left in the front?

Seriously, what the fuck is going on with her? A human body shouldn't ever look like that, barring a tumor or serious deformity.

Smart guy

yea

he's right, you know

*sips tea*

t. shitbag

>People that ""Hate kids""

Completely disgusting, either completely brainwashed or just plain retarded.

>I have 3 kids and quite frequently wish I had 0
>I had my kids at such a young age (15, 19, 24 )

spbp

yeah it's probably a family with problems

"You have been raised up from Brutality, to kill the Brutals who multiply, and are legion. To this end, Zardoz, your God, gave you the gift of the Gun. The Gun is good."

"The Penis is evil. The Penis shoots seeds, and makes new life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the Gun shoots death and purifies the Earth of the filth of Brutals. Go forth, and kill! Zardoz has spoken!"

People seem to get far too wrapped up in this, they lose perspective. It probably has a lot to do with how society is structured nowadays.
Have minimal number of children, focus on yourself only, society is dangerous, don't have a 'tribe', etc.
Not that you wouldn't care if your child died, but the progress of the family/town/county/state/country/philosophy would also be immensely important.

FUCK I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE ME

Hearing all these stories depresses me. I'd love more than anything to go fishing with my son or play with stuffed animals with my daughter and have a loving wife, every day I get to hang out with my nephew is a privilege. Yet here I am, a wizard, and these selfish fags can't think of anything beyond "ugh, a time sink, I can't even"
I hate them personally

It is fake. I'm sure my parents love me but they had to stage a relationship together for probably at least 15 years.

So sad.

Yeah, they can definitely be beyond saving at around that point, I'd argue that without proper parenting/social development you can lose them at even ten or less.

Many people underestimate how important it is to take proper care of children and neglect them so badly.

>Of course Joe's going to be fine, sure, he doesn't seem to have made any friends in the playground and I don't really have any time to play with him thanks to work and all that, but I'm sure he'll be fine.

I was just about to say....being 30 and having two kids is not the age at which to make the claim of "I never should have had kids". Every single one of my mom's friends who is childless is deeply regretful.

>What does Sup Forums make of this?
because they are immature children themselves, they never really grew up.

That is exactly what we were saying, you dumb nigger. The only reason they are "troubled youth" is because their parents raised them poorly in the first place. The parents in that post were scum because they raised their kid like shit, and then tried to kick him out of the house because he behaved like they raised him to behave.

Really activates my almonds

>being able to "check out of reality from time to time"
whoreing out and riding every john in the vicinity
>i had my kids at such a young age (15, 19, 24)
confirms my first claim, that she's a whore
>well cared for
>uses drugs
pick one
also, considering you dont love your children that might be his only option

>even the dog is morbidly obese

>I felt nothing.
Psychopathy is real

>we perpetuate the species needlessly
hey rabbi, wacha doin'?

Top kek

>"check out" of reality
Translation: I want to snort coke and ride dick rather than care for my children. The question that remains is whether this woman is a one-in-a-million psychopath or is modern society so degenerate that it can strip women of their most fundamental instinct and purpose.

I agree with this sort of thing.. people being honest. Im never having kids

Or cut welfare for all. Some states now give more for every kid you have.

Is this what it is to be an "enlightened progressive" in the 21st century? An overgrown hedonistic child who feels spiteful towards their own progeny for cutting into their booze and cummy time? We deserve to be Holocausted.
