regrets

Do you have any regrets? Do you wish you had your first child later in life?

Nina J replied: I think it's natural to regret some things in life, nothing is ever perfect.

I regret the way I acted towards my mother when I was a child. There were a few very harsh coments I made when I was a kid, I know I was young and didn't fully understand things but I hurt her.

I regret ever smoking. I stopped but I did irreversible damage to myself, you never fully get back to the way you were

There's other stuff but I never talk about that, to anyone wink.gif

my2monkeyboys replied: I think everyone has something. Maybe not a full-on regret, but something that they would do differently if given the chance. I know there are 2 things I would have done differently, but I do not regret them bc they helped make me into the person I am today. And, at that time, they were what I wanted.

sparkys2boys replied: I think that we all will have regrets in life but to answer your question, No I don't wish I had my kids at any time diffrent then I did. But I do have one thing that I do regret and will for the rest of my life. Things probaly seem worse to you right now because of the situation with Adam and the stress. I hope that you guys can work this out for the best. hug.gif

CantWait replied: I don't regret my kids, I feel like I've done everything pretty much, except go on vacations, however I don't think having kids changed that.

I regret quite a few things in life, mainly getting married (I had major butterflies on my wedding days, and a couple signs that I ignored), I also regret moving to where we are now (my thearapist tried to tell me, I ignored that also).

A couple other regrets from the distant past, but those two are probably the biggest.

I really try not to dwell on past mistakes because that's what I consider them, and I try and look at it as an opportunity to learn from.

redchief replied: Regrets? Plenty. Would I change anything? Probably not. My mistakes and my triumphs define who I am, and I'm pretty happy with myself on the whole.

paradisemommy replied: ita with ed..you can't change 1 thing about yourself without having to alter everything and i am what i am because of the choices and decisions i made in the past so i wouldn't change a thing.

for me, it took me 30 yrs to find my prince charming so i started late in life (with kids) but i think in a way, it's nice to start late, cause you are wiser and more settled, iykwim..

JadensMama05 replied: I don't regret Jaden at all but I totally agree with you in that I wish I could've had Jaden older sometimes. I haven't experienced a lot in life but I plan on still doing it all eventually. Especially going to college and stuff like that. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with everything and just wish I could be like all the other 22 year olds I know.. But I wouldn't give up Jaden for the world.

Donna027 replied: hmm good topic. I regret many things in my life but its only natural. I regret how I acted towards my mother when I was younger. I said some things to hurt her but I was a teen and was going through that stage in life where you think the whole world is against you. I regret ever getting married. I regret not being there for Patricia and not giving her the attention and care she deserved. But I dont regret ever having her or ever wished I had her later in life.

MoonMama replied: I'm not sure how old you are, but I can see where your coming from. I'm 22 and no I do NOT regret when I had Braedin at all, we tried for over 2 years to have him (since our wedding night :blush) Hang in there sweetie things WILL get better and it will make you a stronger person. hug.gif

garrettsmom replied: I regret getting married.

A&A'smommy replied: no regrets I believe that everything has happened to me, every mistake I have made has made me who I am today and so I have none.

Oh I wanted to add sometimes you mentioned your age I got pregnant when I was barely 17 year old, I graduated from high school when I was 4months pregnant and I have to say it has NOT been easy but I do not regret it, and I still get to have fun.. sometimes I do wonder what I would have done if I hadn't gotten pregnant but I'm glad for my baby girl.
