35 years ago Ann Landers conducted a poll.
For mothers.
Asked if they would have children again. 75% replied they would not.
NO! Wouldn't do it again.
I asked my wife about it, after all I adopted her three children some years after we got married.
She was a wonderful mother, and still is a wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. (One of 'em got started early.)
After thinking a bit, she told me, "Probably not. Nope, not if I think about it."
Surprised me. And she loved, loves her kids.
I think she factored in a lot, including the world we live in, etc.
