Kids

Something from Thursday's lecture that really stood out to me was when Dr. Hollist told us about the 800 people who participated in their study on parenting --  I was really surprised that two of them actually regretted having kids!  It made me sad for their kids -- I think this is a really good example of why you should be absolutely sure you're ready for kids before you put yourself into a position where you might have some.  I realize that 2 out of 800 is only .25%, but I cannot even imagine how terrible it would be to have parents who seriously regretted my existence.  I'm not sure what I would say if I were counseling them, but I think I would encourage them to examine their relationship with each other, because fixing some things there could make their kid situation better, too.
