I have never commented in regards to articles, but today I am compelled to say I empathize with the author of this piece. For the rest of my life, whether my child is near or far, I will always worry and my life will never again be my own. It is the love of a mother who will forever be captive within intense emotions and much of the time met with pain and suffering. I love my child, but being a mother is never being myself again. Thank you author for saying what so many feel and yet, we continue to love our children who deserve to be loved and with that we deserve to think of ourselves as loving beings.

I got on this subject with my sister last night. She told me how a week or so ago, she switched to a radio station where the DJ had a friend admit that she regretted having children and she wouldn't do it again if given the chance. The DJ seemed horrified and opened the phones to callers, clearly expecting people to call in and say that they don't regret having kids at all, they can't imagine ever regretting them, and having kids was the greatest thing they'll ever do, etc. Lo and behold, every single caller said the regretted having kids.
I'm now convinced this is why breeders feel so entitled to paid moo leave, tax breaks, moo scholarships, free housing, and society bending over to kiss their collective asses while letting their kids run wild. At its core, childrearing sucks and they want tangible rewards because all those intangible rewards they like to tout are fleeting and only in between tantrums, dirty diapers, the constant time suck in general.
