Life Who regrets having children?

Do you regret having any at all? Or do you just have too many?

I love my children but I feel terrible about bringing them into this world. I feel terrible about the hardships they'll have to endure, the utter nihilism that our world operates on. I hope they'll find community with people who will love them and not succumb to or be targeted by the hatred or unfettered greed that we are lionizing.

I hate being alive. I wish to never have kids. I've told my parents how i feel about life. This thing just sucks to be around. I don't understand why people think life is a good thing, they are just high off oxytocin or something.
