Thank you so much! I've heard stories from friends whose moms didn't want kids - but obviously had them anyways - and some of them told me about being reminded by their moms that they could've done so much, or that they did so much, without the kids in their lives.

Hearing that just made me so sad - if a parent feels that way, why lord it over your kid(s)? It just wrecks them emotionally.


I was a bit of a "happy accident" myself - my parents wanted kids, but they were barely 2 years into their marriage when I was born! For years, my nickname was "boo-boo". ;-)
