FAB: An honest conversation

FAB - from another board. The "if you had it to do all over again.." topic

People on this board tend to not be as sappy as places like Cafemom

Yup, some interesting stuff there. More honest than I expected.

My mum didn't have the "Mum gene" either. She says I was great between toddler and teen years, but outside of those times, I was a nightmare, she often felt trapped and alone (after she split with my dad, who had done the care when I was small while she went back to work). She was a PNB, mostly, and she owned her choice to have a child, but she didn't want any more, and she's honest about how hard work and thankless parenting can be.

And she's now surprised I don't want any kids eyes2
