Ladies, We Need To Talk · "I wish I'd never had them": the pain of regretting kids · 17 Aug 2026 podcast

It was a small moment of a smart toddler upending the power dynamic and a preview of what was to come.

G was physically and emotionally drained by parenting her child and the feelings of regret began to surface.

And those feelings were unwelcome.

I felt a little bit sick because that's not how you're meant to feel about your kids.

And you describe your then husband as being not very present.

What do you mean?

lot of women have described that feeling of

Being the primary carer and being so deep in the trenches as feeling like they're drowning?

Yeah.

How would you put it?

drowning.

Just overwhelmed.

Yeah, absolutely.

G eventually separated from the father of their child and repartnered with a woman.

And sometimes G finds themselves counting down the days to this

I think about it a bit myself is like if I hadn't have chosen to have the two kids that are young and living with me now because I've got older ones that are launched, I could do so much stuff.

I could travel so much more easily.

I would have so much more spending money.
