Apparently making her stop playing to get ready for bed (15 minutes past the normal time I might add) is worth loathing of the highest degree. Threenagers.

I'm sorry for the down votes, I don't think your comment deserves that. If you feel glad you didn't have children then I'm glad you didn't. People are allowed to want different things. Children are not an easy life choice to see through and there shouldn't be any shame in knowing you don't want that.

    It's a parenting community.

    I'm trying to advocate for an open and inclusive parenting community, their comment wasn't mean or insulting or anything that justifies a negative reaction

    As a parent I've certainly had days where I regretted having kids, I don't begrudge other people sharing similar sentiments

    I think if you go to a parenting community and say you're glad you never had kids you should expect downvoting. Nobody was being mean. It added nothing.

    Of course they're free to be glad they didn't have kids, I'm not arguing against that, but this doesn't seem like the best place to express that and the downvotes bear witness to that IMO.
