first off let me say I love my children more then anything! But, sometimes I wish I was able to be selfish again. I never really thought of myself as a selfsih person but boy would it be so wonderful to go kayaking on a whim instead of having to plan on finding a sitter and spending the extra money. SOmetimes it would be nice to be able to get more sleep and just do things i used to be able to do. If I could go back into time, I wouldn't trade my kids. I htink i would be more lost without them. But I think it is fair to miss the life you had before children. I just keep in mind hey in like 12 years my boy will 14 and my duaghter will be 12 and they can watch them selves for a little while. so don't feel bad for having thoughts like that sometimes.

I don't have regrets about having children but, I have regrets about having my first child at such a young age because she didn't get the kind of young up bringing I had imagined and the one she deserved. Yes, thing are better now, but I had to grow up a lot and she was there to witness it and I regret it.
I don't regret having her though, I had the second at 25 which was a more appropriate age for having children and I was way more prepared. I want another child now.
Good question, but kind of tricky.

NO, not really... I do regret not having any job skills though, like before I got pregant, so now I am a stay home mom and I depend on a man, NOT GOOD if your man is an insecure controlling jealous monster, like mine is.
I dont regret my kids though...I LOVE THEM!

i dont have any regrets ithink my children straightened me up and made me stay out of alot of trouble i do wish that i could have some time out at times and i get aggravated but it is worth it because i love to watch them learn new things and grow up something you made and all that is all yours and needs you and loves you so much and never knows wrong to you and all.

before they where born - a million
the moument i set my eyes on my first son - none
everyone has regrets before their born - once their born and your holding them, its nothing but love, and i havent regreted a day since! bit like a good marrige.
the only thing i would change if i could change is i would of had them a bit older, i think i was a bit young (21) but ahh well.

only that I didn't have them sooner! They totally put your life into perspective and make you live a good, clean, FUN life! Precious, sometimes I look at them sleeping and can hardly believe I am raising these fine young people!
