A lot of those that regret are due to not being prepared. They have no inkling on how to be a parent or different expectation of the child.

Last time got own parents stay with you so they teach and help you. Now is all yolo style.

Pls go google, youtube and learn how to be a parent. Learn the basics what need to do and things to prepare. It's a lifelong learning skill.

The kid will only bother you for 20 years, that's only a quarter of your life. Cherish it.

Humans are truly confused being.

On one hand people shout, it is not OK to expect your kids to take care of  you. They have their lives to live.

On the other hand same people shout, oh look that that poor old person alone in old folks home. See I told you having kids is a waste of time.

too bad we are asians. if we are like angmoh and can kick the kids out of the house right when they are 18 then yes can have zero expectations from children.
