There seems to be so many ungrateful people either moaning about their kid's behaviour or wishing they could have twins rather than one baby or ask the dumbest questions about pregnancy that they really should know seeing as they are actually preggers or other countless complaints and questions.
I can't have kids and I'd swap with all of you. I know I'm being completely unreasonable and you don't have to have kids to know that a lot of the questions and frustrations are completely justified and vallied but I get really frustrated with you parents sometimes! LOL
You can berate me now if you want.

mystic_eye...: It's really knowhere near as bad as that for me! I'm ok and this question was meant with a sense of humour attached. I admire parents greatly - it's the toughest job in the world. There is good reason for childless people to be here too as some of the questions concern that subject and things like ivf treatment and I can help with those a bit.

Berate you for what? You wanted to get it off your chest and you have. You haven't said anything awful; people are people and will always want what they haven't got - no kids if they've got kids, kids if they don't have kids, more kids, fewer kids, and these emotions get too much sometimes. Heaven knows, there have been many times I've said I wish I didn't have my 2 but we all must accept that we flex and move around our lives and emotions - sometimes it's really, really bad and sometimes it's really, really good and that would be exactly the same if you had kids or not, just different. Having children doesn't make you complete or anything like that but it does make you happier, sadder, more fulfilled, more regretful of what you didn't achieve, more proud, more embarrassed, more content, less fulfilled, more happy, more envious, more sure, more unsure, more satisfied, more frightened, more patient, less patient. I'm sorry if you really wanted children and I understand your feelings - there is really no answer to it. You are an individual and it could have been wonderful for you to have kids. All I would say is just consider it might also have been the worst thing.

You have a right to vent, too! I don't know what I would do if I did not have kids. (I have three adopted and three biologically)
But, if you really want to get back at all of us, go take a nice long bubble bath, read a good book or magazine, take a long walk, or even watch your favorite TV program, then come back and post about how wonderful it was!!
Honestly, I hope that you can have the joy of a child in your life one day. Sounds like you won't take one minute for granted.

I get what you are saying, but when these 'stupid' questions about pregnacy go on there, people just want some reasurrence that things are normal, however many times you see a midwife or a doctor, its always good to get others experiences, and thats what yahoo is about, a world of expereince!

but surley you can see that you posting on here venting about parents is the same as parents posting on here venting about chidren! we know we are the luyckiest people in the world but that doesnt mean we arent entitled to have an off day or a worried day. we ALL need to let off steam every once in a while, and just as your post is tinged with humour, so are the parents posts on children driving then potty!

You rant away hinny.
I've got too little lads 1 and 3 yr old. They draw on the walls floors (laminate), settee's and doors, they leave half eaten food everywhere, leave videos and dvd's all over and prevent me from getting a lie in at weekends but I wouldn't change them at all.
Just one hug and you melt. The one year old is funny when he dances to 'if your happy and you know it'. Children are so precious that I totally understand where you are coming from.
My SIL is depressed over a hysterectomy she's just had (at her request) but doesn't even take care of her two children! One ate the contents of the other one's nappy and they thought it was funny!! Boils my blood - okay rant over.
{hugs}

Sometimes, I feel like one of the "stupid parents," but then I think how lucky we are to have our baby girl and another on the way. I get so caught up with life that I sometimes lose focus of what's really important. Don't apologize for venting...everyone needs to once in awhile.

I am sorry you can't have kids, it must be awful if you desperately want them. I never wanted children but I now have a four year old Daughter and I wouldn't give her up for all the tea in china, she is my life and I wouldn't be here without her. I do hear what you say about dumb questions about pregnancy.

I am sorry that you can't give Birth because it is a joy.Being a parent is a privilege not a chore.I understand your frustration but some parents on here really do need some help.and then there is some who just want to vent.

its true that you really cant understand how it feels to be a parent until you have them, have you thought about adopting or fostering. everything in life is a good idea at the time but once you start putting your skills to practice it doesnt always go the way you had always planned. i love my kids but they drive me crazy sometimes and i am no expert about being a parent. sometimes it helps to see other peoples points of view

ok you have never been pregnant so you have no idea about the horomones they drive your emotions up a wall and you think that something will be wrong with the baby you are carrying. you want advice from others that have gone through the same thing. when the baby comes then you worry that something will happen to it or that you are not doing something the right way. then when they are older and driving you up a wall your need advice on what to do. or a way to vent. all these things you can't understand yet.. just wait. someday you will adopt or marry into children and you will understand the worry the need for advice and the stupid questions. until then stop reading them if they bother you so much.
