[QUOTE="Andy, post: 242524, member: 5096"] I am sorry Barbara. There have been days and months and even a few years where I questioned myself as to why I even THOUGHT I wanted kids. There are so many times when the pros don't even come close to the con's. And it is not just the kids' behavior but everything else that makes a mom's job and sacrifices you make within it. Don't get me wrong, I usually don't mind the sacrifices but once in a while one of those sacrifices really does hurt. I find that I am selfish so I had several sacrifices that hurt and took a long time to adjust to not being able to do as much "me" things as I was accustomed to (I had a very long and happy single life before getting married at 27 years so was used to the independence). I hope you have a better day today. Anything in particular we can help with? Just know that we really do know those feelings and the laughter is at the relief it would bring many if there were such a thing. [/QUOTE]
