Do you have children? Are there days when you just wish that you didn’t?
Raising children is no easy task, and some days you feel like tearing your hair out in frustration. But would you change things or swap your children for anything in the world?
Some parents would.

Anonymous confessions website Whisper has seen an influx in parents complaining about their children with some rather shocking confessions of hate towards their kids.
Some parents have said that that their feelings of hatred are random while others have claimed they would rather be childless.
“I hate my children,” says one mother who claims that if she could go back in time she would never have become a mother. Whilst another frustrated mom says that she hates her daughter because she reminds her so much of herself that she “can’t stand her”. “There are days I want to give her away. She’s 7,” the mother in question claims.

“I know I have to love them,” said one poster who believes they have failed as a parent. That seems to be a common thread through out some of these posts; parents are admitting their failings towards their children as a reason for their dislike.
The website features lots of frustrated posts about seemingly ungrateful children who act like they are entitled in some way, shape or form.
No one said parenting would be easy, that’s a fact, but some of these posts are really rather harsh on children, and I for one would be heartbroken if I heard my parents speak like that about me.

“Sometimes I feel like I hate my kids,” said one mother who sites the fact that her children remind her of her ex-husband as the reason for her often dislike. “It’s probably because they resemble my ex-husband so much and it makes me nauseous,” she claims.
“I sometimes secretly hate my kids and I wish I never had them.” This particular mother at least shows some remorse for feeling the way she does about her children, saying “They’ve brought me nothing but stress since they were born. I feel like a horrible mother for feeling like this.”
Everyone deserves to vent, and we all know parenting can be really hard, there’s no denying that. However, I can’t help but think that some of these posts are cruel and I feel sorry for the children in question.

Imagine hearing your parents say “I should’ve given them up for adoption” or “I feel like they’ve trapped me in a life that I never wanted”. Plain and simple it’s just horrible.
Everyone’s situation is different, some people long for a child and it never happens, some people don’t plan for a child but it happens anyway, and some people simply get married and have children as it seems that procreating is the most natural progression of life.
Either way, the expression ‘sticks and stones…’ comes to my mind here. Have a look for yourself here, and see what you think.
