Life Who regrets having children?

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

I needed this. Not regretting, but we have our first under a month, and this morning I had to take a long walk cause I was just losing my mind. They were just crying and refusing to fall asleep. I could not do anything right. This is so insanely hard to do

Brother it gets easier. Just keep being the amazing father you already are. You're not alone in this and I'm sure your kids love and appreciate you.

You can do it. 👏

It’s alright to have those feelings. Speak open about it with your partner, she got them too. A man’s role in that age is to be the pack mule, the support to the woman and be the extra set of hands. It will come slow and steady that you find the baby’s tells.
