@moses199 Thank you so much for this comment. I was definitely uncertain if it would connect to many people but you saying something means a lot!

@jinsun I dont know how you could look at a subreddit meant for mournful regretful people who need a space to vent and expect "positivity." The sub isn't FOR you. If you don't appreciate their transparency then continue forward. I hear what you mean by not positive in that some people don't...

@emzyb Reality, for some, can be a lot different than the picture-perfect idea we are all lead to believe comes with parenting & life. Plans often go awry, so preparing for as many situations as we can is good, but we have to realize that shit happens. And kids make things a lot more...

@kevinshuman I hear you. Man. Especially the career change. My only regret of finding programming later is that I wish I could have my baby in my arms. But I want to give my 100% to kids and my profession (as I learn it). It's just figuring out what to do first and how. I keep imagining my...

@willy_b Hi! Thank you for your comment and thoughtfulness! You are right that we are definitely a group of overthinkers and planners, but the best of book readers doesn't make up for the finality and less-talked about reality of having children. If the subreddit doesn't help you thats totally...

@gregabdul Exactly how I feel. If I didn't need insurance I would leave tomorrow. If I knew I could afford it I'd use all my vacation/sick time and leave. We have an emergency fund, we could survive until I found another position. But I know it looks better to employers to have a job...

@puddin I appreciate your comment. I studied some classes in social work and the emotional & psychological energy that job requires is... a fucking ton. Thank you so much for your profession and the time you had in it. My best piece of advice to all wait-ers and friends has been to work on...

r/regretfulparents is a subreddit filled with very honest & empathetic people, many who love their kids but did not realize the true weight of their actions. You do not need to be a parent to join, but keep your comments to yourself unless you're expressing empathy/support for the parent. This...

@justintime25 Thank you for the validation & comment!

@katrina2017 Jeez! Yeah that is super stressful. And yeah I keep having to convince my youngest brother to stop buying cute 3-5+ yr old toys and clothes because he's going to fill his apartment to the brim lmao. But it's heavy on my heart. Im so glad they're excited but I wish I had set my life...

@katrina2017 I hear you, that definitely makes sense. It doesn't help that my family is very supportive and constantly talks about being excited about my kids and helping us so often. So I know we would be fine having a kid right now even without me having a great job and owning a house...

@katrina2017 I feel this so much. Having fish and a dog helped but damn. I dream of waking up to a crying baby who just needs me and my adoring husband to live each day. It's such a weird desire I feel in my bones. Someone I dont have to prove myself to or defend my actions to. Someone who...

@smorganmackay We're hitting 7 years waiting ourselves, I'm wishing you the best!! We are hitting our 3 yr wedding anniversary in 2 months! You guys got this!

@df80 Thank you for saying it out loud. It makes me feel less crazy. I've read some articles and listened to podcasts about specifically women in CS and so many of us have imported syndrome. I fucking hate it. I have it with art as well. Idk where it comes from but its ridiculous. So many men...

@df80 Im in that limbo place where I just don't know of im good enough for anything else. I want to be a programmer so badly, I have terrible imposter syndrome where I feel like I'm just kidding myself with being good at anything. Else despite loving school and enjoying learning programming. I...

TLDR at bottom. I've been realizing this lately. My baby fever comes at times when I dont have a lot going on or when I'm super stressed/feeling like a failure. I know I can be a good mom. I've babysat, I've worked at a daycare for 8-11 1-2 yr olds, I have 3 siblings, I've had younger...

@williamk I love this place! I have been a part of the sub for 2 months I believe and have loved inviting ppl from WTT! Ive spoken about it more than a couple times and highly reccomend it! The privacy is a wonderful addition. A FANTASTIC resource for anyone but especially grads looking for a...

@spazmoidfry Cool, I wish you the best!

@spazmoidfry Thank you for sharing so much knowledge! It's really cool meeting someone who has done as much research as I have! If not more lol I also didn't like the whole 6 pills a day some have! I think thats what I didntlike about naturelo because they had a nice prenatal too but I dont...

@spazmoidfry As a planner I barely saw anything about them! I was stunned considering there are so many! Even my doctor was like "whichever" 🙃 So I was happy to ask advices but a lot of ppl weren't really interested lmao or just downright mad so whateva! Super happy this has helped someone...
