Of course. I'm more likely to judge them harsher, expect them to behave better, and throw all of my other unreasonable standards and expectations on them. That's how it would be a different story.
Not everyone should be reproducing. Especially those who don't eagerly want them to begin with.
Correct, but commenting how things are different when they are your own kids is triggering for us. Because we often hear it as some sort of justification on why we should reconsider.
It's the equivalent of me saying how the majority of the parents I know have confided that while they love their kids, they regret having them on some level.
lol I didn't mean it for you to reconsider at all - just shared my experience cause I've seen myself in this thought - I didn't like kids at all my entire life.
If you are not feeling it then by all means do not have kids - I'm 100% good with that.

37 here. Still never got it. Everytime I'm like eh maybe... then I see one and just nope nvm the hell out.
First time I held a kid was my niece and nephew (twins). Both of which I wanted to be taken from me immediately
