Sometimes I regret waiting so long to have a child, but I don't make the rules. The universe decided it was going to take me a while to get to be a mom!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And you know when I was growing up, I knew I wanted to have kids, but I knew I didn't want to do it alone. Then once I was 41, 42, I had to accept that I probably wouldn't have kids unless I decided to adopt later on, but even then it would be with a partner.
It was a sad process for me to become a mom, and a long process. I felt so embarrassed that I couldn't have a biological child.
I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.
I've been wanting to have a baby since I was 2 years old - I'm destined to be a mother.
I always knew I wanted to have children.
No one understands the shift in priorities about having a child in your life... until you have a child in your life.
I don't have any regrets about not having had children. What's the point? It's just something else to beat yourself up over.
There's not a second I regret having a child on my own.
I have no regrets about not having children. I still wait for the pang of guilt, but I have none. I tune into the television show 'Nanny 911' occasionally which reminds me how much patience and love it take to be a good parent.
I don't have any regrets about not having kids. I've just never had those maternal feelings. I am a nurturer by nature, but I nurture adults: my friends, the people I work with. I don't want to nurture children.
