Serious Thread: REGRET (real talk)

[Deleted User]

I feel the same....no kids.....too old and unsure future to think about it now. I never was a family man but now i would love to be a father maybe. Too late.
Maybe because our kids could have the chance to become what we never achieve.
So once we left, nothing is there.....just some half assed music in the net

İm 42 and my üife is 39. Üe have a 19 month boy. İ no longer have the letter "double u" on my keyboard cause i'm not sure ühat my kid did to the settings.

Any hoü, some people be like "a little late, no?" And İ retort üith "pffft, my dad üas 50 and my mom 42 ühen i üas born. İ like to think i'm ahead and i also like to believe i kept them young. My dad lived until 91 last year and my mom is still good.

For years my üife has üanted a child, and i alüays insisted it üasn't the right time; not until i got my finances straight. İronically, after üe both got laid off from our jobs the same year, İ became open to having children. İ realized there is no such thing as the right time, and that i must surrender, and that it isn't necessary to have control over everything.

Thanks everyone for sharing your setiments.

Funniest comment in the saddest thread ever... I am a metoo here

There is no fence to look over, we're all in the same field. Birth, good times, bad times, luck and no luck, death. It is (of course) a function of any life, especially from the forties into the fifties and onwards, to mull over the paths not taken, that which (for us all) might have happened but didn't. And then we keep on. Doing the best we're able and loving our family members (in all their many forms). Kindness and empathy seem to be the only real currencies, creativity and humor the only real balm.

Wonderfully said.

One more to the near 40 (37 few days ago) with no childs and any possibilities on the look... but who knows?

Meanwhile I take care of my old parents (they were 40-43 when I arrive) and my nephews (one of them is like a little daughter being less difference in age between her than her father, my brother... so I'm 16 years younger than him, her is 14 years younger than me ) but you know what? I have no money or job (yet but I try everyday) and I have a good friend sharing space and recently two cats! Hapiness is loving without worry, just love!

Love to everyone!
