Most say no, one says, "a little, sometimes". Lots of the ladies who have had children have profound regrets about that choice.

I just plain flatly don't believe you.

Don't believe it, then. I remember the Dear Abby column years ago when she asked her readers "if you had it to do over again, would you have children" and 70% of her responses said "no". Naturally, if it wasn't what you had hoped for, you have a stronger motivation to answer a poll like that, so it's a self-selected group of responses, not a statistically valid one.

I would not say that the parents we know have "profound regrets"; mostly during the years their kids are teenagers they range between frustration and despair, but it gets better when the kids go off to college. :)

Call me a liar if you like. But you need to tell others why I would have an incentive to lie about this. We "childfree" folks are darn comfortable with our choice. The vehemence from your side suggests you are not.
