Parenting could be a challenging task as it comes with numerous factors, including taking care of infants, balancing work and family life and others. Many parents, especially youngsters, struggle to find a balance between their professional lives and family responsibilities, which could lead to a lot of stress. Recently, a 32-year-old content creator shared her thoughts about motherhood on Instagram. Expecting a healthy discussion, she discovered that many young parents regret having kids.
“I am not sure if I want to have children, but whenever I discuss it on Instagram, I am constantly drawn to the women who say they regret it or that if they could go back, they would not do it again. There are many of them,” she said in the video.
Furthermore, she stated that when she conducted a poll on Instagram, she found that around 20 per cent of parents admitted that they regretted having children – not because they didn’t love kids, but because they didn’t realise how much their lives would change. The remaining 80 per cent, however, were confident in their decision.
“I have a lot of fears when it comes to whether or not to have kids, but this might be the biggest one- will I be ready to say goodbye to a life that I love knowing that there’s a chance that I might not love the one I end up in next,” she added.
Highlighting the importance of having open discussions about parenthood, she concluded the video by saying, “We judge mothers very harshly. So I know this kind of regret is a difficult thing to talk about publicly. I wish it wasn’t though because we should all be able to make the decision with all the relevant information and this feels like a big part of it we owe each other the space to talk honestly about our experiences we’ll all benefit from it.”
The video quickly gained traction, sparking a wave of reactions from viewers. One Instagram user shared, “I’m 82 and I have no doubts—I would choose the childfree lifestyle all over again.” Another commented, “I’m 35 and child-free. I always thought I might regret not having kids, but I knew I’d regret having them. Lately, I’ve realised I made the right choice.”
One of them stated, “I’ve always wanted to be a mum, honestly it’s been my only goal in life. Now I have beautiful twin daughters and let me tell you, it is not for the faint of heart.” A person shared, “I currently have my 10-week-old baby sleeping on me and I absolutely adore being a mum. So far it’s the best thing I’ve ever done even though it’s still such early days.”
The clip has gathered around 10 Lakh views since it was shared on Instagram.
