To all parents - are there days when you wish you weren't?

Answer 1

I have never wished I wasn't a mum, but I have thought about where I would be and what I would be doing if weren't...There is a difference...Sometimes all parents need is an hours break a day, I'm a single mum, having a 2yr old is quite demanding, especially seeing how I am studying and looking for full time work....The responsiblity is enough to make anyone question the choices they have made, even if parents think it, they wouldn't change it for the world!!

Answer 2

no never it took me and my husband 3 years to be parents after we had 2 miscarriages and all most lost our eldest son through all of my pregnancy right till the moment he was born it was touch and go, then when i was pregnant with our second son from 12 weeks pregnant i had trouble till the day he was born i count every second with my boys now aged 12 and 8 you never know whats around the corner make every second something to remember they grow up so fast never wish your parent hood away so many people out there that want children and can't have them you are sooooo lucky but i do understand what you mean it does get hard sometimes more so in the big school holidays trying to find things for them to do they get bored then start fighting but I'd rather have the falling out any day of the week rather than them not be here with me and my husband it does sometimes get hard but i bet if you make your self a cuppa and think back i bet you remember more about the funny things and the fun times you have with your kids

Answer 3

I am not a parent. But as a person how has provided child care for relatives, friends, and strangers for as long as I can remember, there are days when the only thing that I want is to be there three again - so that the kids can be someone else's problem and someone can "baby" me.

Answer 4

YES. why well lets see after busting my *** 4 the last 19 years my 19 year old is mad at me because I refuse 2 take her side in a dispute with her room mate (she is wrong n wrong is wrong) I will not take sides as they both need 2 grow up.

n 4 my 16 year old well she has run away 2 her sisters house n will not talk 2 me because I found out that she is pregnant by a dead beat asshole who sells drugs n I suggested that she either lose the bf n we will help her with the baby or keep him n deal with it or get an abortion as she is 2 damn young 2 have a child. well Im wrong.

Answer 5

Honestly? There are days that I wish I wasn't a wife but I have yet to have a day that I wish I wasn't a parent.

Answer 6

No I adore my kids, just wish that I could have a break sometimes when my baby cries alot, but my family are no help and it's always been down to me and my husband so we just have to get on with it! Just enjoy the good times, but it would be nice to just have 1 hour a week alone! One day! Bless them!

Answer 7

Oh yeah. Don't get me wrong, I love my baby girl with all the love I have to give and would never, ever trade her for anything, and I don't regret having had her. But you don't really understand what it is to completely give up "your life" and live for someone else until it happens. I feel so selfish to think that way, but it's true. I love my child but don't like the "job" of being a parent.

Answer 8

Sometimes. But thats usually when Im worn out with all the responsabilities involved in being a mom. When I see my son smile, when I watch him learn new things, Its beautiful and i wouldnt trade it for the world.

Another word of encouragement: it does get easier as time goes on.

Answer 9

It doesn't go so far, I just think that should be some kind of place called "parents break inn", where we could be free of our responsabilities for a while and where the childrens could be amused and happy all the time. I know that it is a dream but to dream is free, isn't it? :-)

Answer 10

for me, I only wish I weren't when I saw my friends go on vacation and not having to worry about anything about kids
