"newfound love"? What a strange way to refer to one's child.
It has honestly never crossed my mind to goggle hate sites for mothers who don't want their kids. Are you saying that you have actually done that? Why would anyone even specifically search for something like that, I have to wonder? I would imagine that sites like that exist, but I have no interest in purposely reading about such things so I will take your word for it. Even if specific sites, explicitly created for that purpose don't exist, the daily news reports in cities and towns across the globe tell the true life stories which are prime examples of mothers hating their children. Hardly a day goes by anymore where another child isn't killed by their own mothers, "abducted" under supicious circumstances, and trash bags of their child's remains are later found in close proximity. They drown their children, run over their own kids, stab them to death, allow them to suffocate, play with loaded guns, or beat them to death and hide the bodies.
If the actual killing of their own children isn't telling enough, then the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of kids who are given away to orphanages each year would be a good indicator that mothers do often regret having given birth to their children. Then of course there are the abortion clinics on every corner that are standing room only when "the doctor is in", which gives the appearance that many mothers to be are'nt especially thrilled with the prospect of motherhood. If those examples don't make it clear enough, then what about the mothers who continue to birth baby after baby, child after child, and knowingly bring them into an impoverished, crime ridden, drug infested, life of misery with few chances at a decent life, no known father, and into places where they have a 1 in 3 chance of winding up in prison at some point in their lives? That scenario doesn't sound too much like motherly love to me, but rather it sounds FILLED with regrets, animosity, and at the very least they seem to have a lackadaisical attitude toward their own childrens' welfare and towards motherhood in general.
So, I don't need to locate a website named, "mothers who hate their kids" to know that mothers often do hate their own kids, or at the very least they often have regrets. All I need to do is look around me, open a newpaper of magazine, turn on a news channel, or simply watch mothers in action or hear them complain about their plight in life to realize that hating or regretting motherhood is actually quite common. Personally, I find that rather sad and it makes me feel sorry for their children. Often times a woman desires to never have children for whatever reason, but is too weak or scared to stand up to parents who are expecting grandkids or to societal expectations in general. It's women like this who seem to regret having had their children the most and who often protest how happy they are with motherhood the very very loudest.
This zealous public claim of the joys of motherly love to a forum full of childfree people is rather transparent you know, at least to me it is a poorly cloaked attempt to validate to yourself a poor personal choice. You will likely come out better to get this psychological validation which you are seeking fulfilled on a forum with women members who are trying to do the same, rather than doing the impossible here, which is to get anyone to buy your story. What you are trying to sell here, no one here is interested in buying.
