I love my son. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me in many ways. He's made me a more patient, responsible person. I don't believe in heaven, but I would think he was an angel if I did. His smiles and giggles light up my soul. But I have never felt so hopeless, exhausted, and worn down. If I could do it all over again, I really think I would have given him up for adoption.
Choosing not to have kids has been the single best decision of my life. To be fair, it wasn't a 'choice.' I've never wanted kids. I never played with dolls as a child; I only babysat under extreme duress (if, for example, a neighbor or my parents' friends were in a jam), and from my earliest memories, I thought being a parent was the worst deal around... Instead, I have focused my time and energy on educating myself and building my own business.
