>Surveys conducted over the last few years on representative samples in the US and Germany suggest that the percentage of parents who regret having children is approximately 17–8%.
I'd be curious to see regret vs. would you make the same choice again. I can imagine parents nor regretting it, but maybe thinking about it twice if they had known what to expect.
- Financial difficulties
- Being a single parent
- Having children with a disability
All seem to vastly influence the result.
