Do you regret the father/mother you chose for your children? (pregnant, parents)

Do you regret the choice of father/mother for your kids?

My mother is an outstanding mum, very loving, dedicated and made lots of sacrifices for us. But sometimes I wonder if she regrets having my brother and I because, after all, we are also sons of the man who made her unhappy for 30 years.

Even though we both hate our father, I question if she doesn't see him when she looks at us and regrets having children with him.

I question whether or not my parents should have had us at all.

Just how bad was your childhood? I'd say you came out alright in spite of whatever you had to put up with growing up

I strongly believe some people are meant to be parents and some aren't-with little to no shades of gray in between.

No I don't... and we've been married for 32 years now.

No, he's a good father.

I met my current husband when my older child was 2 yrs old. Even though I fell madly in love with him right away, some of our dates were like job interviews for "Father of My Child". lol

I grilled him on everything including, "Will you accept my son if he is gay?" (Good thing too because he turned out to be bisexual)

I am extremely happy with the father he has become. My first husband....not so much.

No I don't regret the choice at all.

You're from my parents generation then (I suppose). You've been lucky because people still had children out of tradition in the early 80s. Most men of that time got their wives pregnant to fulfill the social obligation, not because they wanted the kids.
