Parents, do you ever feel that having kids was not your best decision and that they are a burden after a certain age?

Nope, on the contrary, I regret not having them earlier. First, having a baby anchored my life. I considered myself a nutcase and confused about life and work. Now there is a certain clarity, and it is easier to make decisions -- they only need to be favorable for the kid. Second, I guess our bodies get tired after an age. Having kids while you're still young and got the stamina is surely preferable.

i have 2 and till date i have never regretted having them. there have been times when i have been through really rough patches in the marriage, and wished i could have left. but even then, i was clear that the only reason i am happy to still be around is the kids....they have always been my rock.

No, I never felt this. We did not plan our baby but it happened after three years of our marriage and when we found out that I am pregnant, we cherished the news. Rather, my child is the best thing that could have ever happened to us.

No. I never feel this. Infact, I wonder how sad my life would have been if I didn't have a baby. I guess, this question arises when one doesn't have a baby and still in the process of evaluating whether to have one or not.

Oh, no.. Never. I wonder why parents would feel this way, unless they haven't raised their children well.

Burden? No. If our kids are a burden after a certain age, then what are we to our parents

I never felt they were a burden. Sometimes i do regret having them but never a burden
