A woman took to the internet and revealed that she will always regret having children as her life was ‘better’ before she had them.
In a heartbreaking post on Kidspot, the mother-of-two admitted that she wish she’d never had her kids.
“I am a mother of two, but I wish I was a mother of none. Yes, I preferred my life without kids. I preferred it so much that I wish I’d never had them,” she wrote.
The woman explained that she loves her children but she insisted that her life was better before having them.
“I want to declare that I do love my two boys with all of my heart; don’t confuse my perspective with not loving my kids,” she wrote.
“I am also not depressed, nor do I have any sort of mental health condition that makes me a danger of any sort, or risk to myself or my children, or impacting on how I feel in any sort of way.
“In all honesty, it is actually quite simple and straightforward.”
The mother-of-two added: “Yet I suppose it’s not ever said out loud by many people – I wish I didn’t have my two children because I think my life would be much better without them. Because it was better without them.”
She also talked about her life before having her children.
“My life was amazing. I absolutely adored my career and my husband and I were extremely happy together. We traveled, had an incredible social life, we were like some sort of rom-com montage of two people falling in love and living their best lives – but real.
“It wasn’t just a phase, we were like this for 10 years but then we decided to have children, and once our first child arrived, things changed, and not for the better.”
The mother explained that they were excited for their first son to arrive but “reality just didn’t meet the expectation.”
“I love him of course and he was an ‘easy’ baby in terms of sleeping and feeding and everything that makes a baby ‘easy’, but I just didn’t love being a mum; I didn’t love anything about it,” she expressed, adding that she felt ‘restricted’ by her child that she became a person “she never wanted to be.”
After sharing her feelings with her husband, they thought that having a second child would change her view.
“Needless to say, it didn’t.”
