Perhaps, but I can't say the original respondent's opinions are particularly rare. I know a decent percentage of parents who love their children but given a "do over" on that portion of their life, quite a few would choose differently.

Parenting isn't for everybody, and I think that's a Good Thing. If it works for you, then you have my respect and support. But conversely, if you know it /doesn't/ work for you and you choose to not be a parent, that is also a decision I can respect and support.
