  • Well, I guess people change their minds after big things happen, and I assume that, more than “not regretting” having children, what she/you meant was “changed her whole life for the better and gave her life much more meaning”, right? Else, idk, I personally wouldn’t be happy with having such a dispassionate parent, and just “not feeling rejected or unloved”, but being deeply appreciated and loved! But maybe I’m too sensitive and my Latino heart can only conceive “proper parenthood” being one way (although I assume most of the global South would agree with my feelings about it). And yeah, it’s not the same and having children while really not wanting any is insane, but being a parent shouldn’t be something you’re just “meh” about (again, maybe it’s a cultural difference).
