For us the price is too high, the rewards not enough.
We can't go to restaurants, cinemas, shopping centres, markets etc because of the children....the stress, the arguments, the bickering...its not worth it.

And what about foreign 'holidays'?

The same stress, annoyance, arguing and bickering...just in a warmer climate!
And you pay 2 or 3k for the pleasure!
Next time you're abroad, check the facial expressions on the guys wheeling buggies around the resort at night-time..looking for the nearest game arcade...despair in their eyes, wondering how their lives came to this.

lt's only when my wife and l are away together alone (no kids) that we are truly ourselves again and not f'ing 'mammy' and 'daddy'
(We might get one weekend in Galway if we're lucky)
lt's liberating, and a reminder of how we used to be, the lives we once had.

But you manage to trot off to Old Trafford regularly to see your precious Man United? Yeah, you probably shouldn't have had kids. Pity for them.

No one said anything about regretting them. What a huge leap of a conclusion to make, just that it gets despairingly difficult sometimes.

Alright. Enough is enough. Civility seems impossible to maintain in this thread.

Locked.

Calling someone a bad parent or stating they should not have had children or saying that a person should have used contraception is not acceptable it is personal abuse and inflammatory posting.
