On the fence/didn't want kids - do you regret it?

[ttcissoboring]

Inspired by another obvious thread.

It seems that every thread I read expressing regret for children the regret comes from those who were adamant they wanted children. Perhaps they went into with rose tinted I don't know?

I have never seen someone comment to say they were on the fence/didn't want kids and then had them and regret them - they seem to usually enjoy the experience more.

Is this because those who were reluctant thought about all the bad parts more thoroughly so we're less shocked/found it easier than expected?

Keen to hear from those who's were on the fence initially and then had DC.

How have you found it? Better, the same or worse than your expectations?

I was in the didn’t want kids camp absolutely. But my husband really did and I went for it because of him really. Omg I’m so glad I did I adore my little boy. It’s literally the best thing I did in my life. I agree maybe some people think it’s gonna be great, I thought it would be horrendous but I adored him from the start.

Thanks you all for responses - I am still on the fence even though TTC but have decided to go for it! Let's see (hope) I don't regret it.

I think of motherhood and only ever the bad parts come to mind / so I like to think I'm somewhat prepared. I'm sure they'll be surprises but I'm expecting it to be hell! At least initially / I really like kids for the parts when they become adults it's the early years that worry me.

Despite this I'm still TTC (and failing!) but hopefully it happens soon.
