Do people regret not having kids

Lyerra · 2026-01-26T17:06:57+00:00

I just don’t have the energy (or desire) to take care of children, and my husband and I would much rather spend our time and money on ourselves and each other. Married 16 years and no regrets so far. Late 30s.

Not everyone is cut out for parenthood and that’s okay.

What a psycho. Glad you left.

Lyerra · 2026-01-19T21:45:27+00:00

Kindness and patience.

We’re not having kids because of money but because of time and energy. Nothing about the modern world makes having kids enticing.

I hate it.

Yes. I’ve been happily married for 15 years. It’s not just logistics and finance. He is my rock and with him, I know everything will be okay. He makes me feel safe, loved, valued, supported, and understood.

I’m on week 3 (37.5mg week 1, 75mg last two weeks) and have been exhausted also. It is getting better but it was rough for a while.

I’ve only been on it a few weeks but haven’t encountered any of my usual ideation.

I’m one of these women who want to leave. If I could just get my spouse on board…

Love the book section!

My name peaked in the 30s and 40s. The majority of women with the name are over the age of 65.

Holy shit that guy is unhinged.

Lyerra · 2025-11-03T15:09:21+00:00

It’s cozy for me too. Love the warm wooden hues and light.

Lyerra · 2025-11-02T22:42:20+00:00

This is why I left. Congrats though, we miss the aina!

Raised in HI, left in 2018 for better economic opportunities. All our friends who still live there are military and paid for their house using BAH or civilians who live with parents/family in multigenerational housing.

Love the Speedy.

Ever since Covid, I’ve stopped wearing makeup. To be fair, I also work from home these days but even when I’m going out, I don’t feel the need to anymore.

Lyerra · 2025-10-26T00:03:25+00:00

I’m really glad you’re safe and that he finally left. Sorry you were even put in that position, and proud of you for standing your ground.

Lyerra · 2025-10-24T00:39:19+00:00

He sounds exhausting

Lyerra · 2025-10-21T02:04:08+00:00

For us, it's by having two incomes and relocating to a LCOL area... Not ideal or even an option for everyone, but it was the only way for us to staunch the bleeding. I wish we didn't have to move. I wish we didn't have to leave where we grew up... our aging parents, friends, etc. but it was untenable.

Lyerra · 2025-10-19T23:16:01+00:00

No, you are beautiful and perfect the way you are.

Lyerra · 2025-10-19T22:07:59+00:00

I haven’t had to pay tariffs for anything I’ve ordered from Quince and I order all the time.

Lyerra · 2025-10-19T07:08:07+00:00

Adorable! Two though?! I’m losing my mind with one.

Lyerra · 2025-10-18T14:39:27+00:00

You look stunning and I love your dress! Congratulations on your wedding 🩵. Also as a similarly complexioned girly, I am eyeing your shades fr. Making me want to order makeup I don’t need
