Women Talk About If And Why They Regret Giving Birth And Their Answers Are Jarring

We are all raised to believe that at some point we all will want kids. However, no one really tells us about how much work goes into raising a child. The amount of sacrifices that one has to make to raise a kid is no joke. And it is not selfish to not be ready to make those sacrifices. While it is safe to assume that most parents love their kid(s) and want the best for them, I personally believe that it is way too idealistic for us to expect them to not get tired of having to put so much effort and energy while making constant sacrifices for their children. At the end of the day, they are humans with their own wants and needs too, aren’t they? But I obviously am not a parent and can’t really speak for an experience I am not a part of. Hence I was super intrigued when I saw a Reddit user ask the question Women of reddit who regret giving birth. Why do you regret it?” and while the answers are understandable, they are shocking.

The sacrifices the one has to make to be a good parent is seriously no joke,

I believe that people really need to cut parents (especially mothers) some slack. Most have this unrealistic expectation from them to stop being their own person and completely dedicate themselves to their children. And while I understand that prioritising your child is something every parent signs up for (and should do), it isn’t fair of us to completely take away their freedom.
