I Want To Be Open And Honest With My Feelings

I think for the first time in my life I regret not having children.

Though you could adopt

@Aidan That wouldn’t be an option in my current situation with my mental health issues & other things. Or I’d definitely love to adopt some babies & give them s better chance in life than they my have at the moment. I’ve so much love to give.

Occasionally I feel that way too...
Then I remember all the reasons why I didn't have kids and both me and my non-existent children, thank me for that choice LOL

I hope your regret is only temporary.

[@I understand & thank you. X

I never regretted not having children.
JoJoe · 46-50, F
i’d be better off if I felt like this. If you don’t mind me asking, what makes you feel like this? X
Platoscave · F
@JoJoe I had a difficult upbringing and no other kids should have to go through that.
JoJoe · 46-50, F
I can relate to that in some ways. This reason played a bit of a part in me not pushing forward to have children. But it’s one small reason amongst many. But I definitely get what you’re saying & can relate to it. X

I have those feelings. If you want to talk about them I'm open
JoJoe · 46-50, F
@lubovont Thank you. I’ve only just come to this realisation. It’s such a waste as I know I’d be an amazing mother & I'm great with kids. I’m here to talk if you need, to also. 👍

I regret going to university
JoJoe · 46-50, F
@Aidan Really? Why?
Aidan · 26-30, F
Expensive student loans - it isn’t paying off @JoJoe

Never to late to start
@smileylovesgaming It may not be too late for her, but sometimes it is too late to start.
JoJoe · 46-50, F
@smileylovesgaming I’m not sure about that. I’m in my 40’s hun. I also am not in a partnership at the moment.

Did you ever want children when you were in your 20’s or 30’s? We’re you ever in a committed relationship where the guy didn’t want kids and you did? I’m sorry.
JoJoe · 46-50, F
@saintsong I used to want like 10 kids. But that was when I was young, dumb & unrealistic. I’ve never been in a relationship committed enough to even make me think it was the right situation to have kids.

Ahh. Not having children isn't a bad thing. I never had a girlfriend.
JoJoe · 46-50, F
@Coolkid77 You’re still young though hun. Plenty of time for that. I’m 42 & have never ever been in love with a man. Now that’s messed up I guess! 🤣
Coolkid77 · 31-35, M
@JoJoe Very true. Yeah I guess so. I got about 20 years then.

[@I have no idea. I’ve always loved kids so much. I think maybe I’m at the age where I look back on life & question my choices. I have a huge void in my life that makes me question the life I chose that I’ve always thought I wanted.
