I think you kinda misinterpreted my statement
My comment was not in reference to you, Toejam.
We've met folks who in later life deeply regretted the time, money and effort they spent raising children. Whether the child was an "accident" or simply a bad decision made by people who didn't really know themselves, the ensuing situation is unfortunate and sad. So, when I hear someone say they are glad they didn't have kids, I think to myself it's a blessing they didn't. Likewise, it's sad to see a couple who want a child very much unable to have one.
Childfree folks who wanted to be, and parents who wanted to be, should be thankful life worked out for them in that regard!
