Parents Share Why They Dislike Their Kids On Reddit... by Nobody: 8:12pm On Jun 11, 2022 |
1. I don't know if this counts but I never did. I don't hate the kid by any means. Never wanted kids, was on birth control, but I was always told it's different when it's your kid. you just magically love them. Well it wasn't different, he was just another kid I had no feelings for. I knew I couldn't be a loving parent a kid needs so he was adopted by a family I know well. They live close and I've seen him grow up but he's just some kid to me. |

2. I never wanted to be a dad. I had no plans on ever having kids. Fate had other ideas thanks to hormonal BC not being 100% effective. My son is mildly autistic and has ADHD and has some severe behavior problems. We're talking I have to straddle him while on the floor on his back to keep him from destroying the apartment, hurting us. I always knew I'd hate being a parent but I never knew it would be this bad. 1 Like 1 Share |

3. I have two children and now I love them both dearly. However, it wasn't always that way for my youngest son. I planned my oldest, wanted him, loved him from the moment I knew I was pregnant, and took him everywhere with me except work until he was 2. We were inseparable. We are still very close. Now, my youngest was a surprise, I used protection and it was one night. I considered abortion but couldn't do it. Considered adoption but my family freaked out at the idea, so I kept him. I hated the person his father was and how his father treated, I wanted a girl if I was going to have a child, and didn't want to give up what I had with my oldest. I was selfish. After I had my youngest it got worse. I completely detached, barely picked him up, and didn't take care of him unless I absolutely had to because there was no one else around. It was like this for almost a year, made worse by the fighting with his father. My son reminded me so much of this man who made my life hell. When my met my SO it changed, he got me help, he taught me to love my son and how to teach my son to love back. My child went from being this loner child who hated to be loved on or messed with to being this sweet, generous, amazing kid who can't leave the house without a hug. I would never trade my children for anything in the world, however I wish I could re do that year of my life. |

The other side... 4. I'll just tell my side for my mother. (For clarity, she has admitted all this to me in the past, these aren't assumptions or anything like that) |

5. never wanted kids (I'm female). My method of birth control (IUD) failed. Although my husband and I do all the normal parental stuff and now have a seemingly normal 3-year old, if I had a time machine or stumbled upon a lamp with a genie in it, I would take a redo. |

6. I just had a daughter a month ago. She was unplanned, and I told my wife (then girlfriend) that I did not want kids, but she did. She swore up and down she couldn't have kids, but lo and behold here we are. The pregnancy was awful, and now we have what simply must be the single most colicky and fussy baby alive, and she fights her sleep like a MOTHERF**KER. not to mention the post partner depression that my wife is feeling. |

They sound like young parents.. |
Re: Parents Share Why They Dislike Their Kids On Reddit... by Nobody: 9:18pm On Jun 11, 2022 |
Waynesteave:I don't think so... I don't want to be a mother... Cause I'm scared I wouldn't be able to love the child(ren)... Or give them all they need and deserve... I'll be a lousy parent... I'm too emotional it would make me self-centered and resentful... Not everyone has it in them... |

Silentgroper:Most are in their thirties to forties... Time doesn't change the way they feel... Makes it worse usually... The majority of those who commented, their kids are early teens or already adults... |
Re: Parents Share Why They Dislike Their Kids On Reddit... by Silentgroper(m): 9:38pm On Jun 11, 2022 |
Datboredberri:7, 2 nd 3 doesnt seem like early teens to me. Also nothing in d post clarifies d parents to be in their thirties and fourthies respectively... I can bet my balls, they're young parents.. |

I am scared to have kids in Nigeria |
Re: Parents Share Why They Dislike Their Kids On Reddit... by Nobody: 9:54pm On Jun 11, 2022 |
Silentgroper:That's the thing... I don't want kids cause I'm worried I would be lonely when I'm old... My kids might not even grow to love me... Or make the sacrifice to stay with me during my last months/days... We could have a bad relationship... I don't want to have kids... I'm too messed up... Would only end up ruining their lives and mine... |
