    Maybe. But everyone is an expert in hindsight!

    I am now watching my three children grapple with parenting decisions. I simply tell them that they can only make their decision based on their belief of what is best at the time. And sometimes, in retrospect, we may have acted differently.

    Have no kids.., but I prefer my parents to not change a thing. They might not agree, but I kinda like who I am now

    Wouldn't change anything now however would do it a little differently if starting from scratch. I think the first seven years are the most formative.

    Hmmmm scary I just looked and Ive had 1045 counselling sessions with parents who were seeking help for behavioural issues with their kids.

    But still I don't know how Ill go with being a parent, if Im ever lucky enough for it to happen. Hopefully Ill have no regrets. But to be honest Im not sure how it would be possible to not regret at least some things. No parent is perfect. And I know too much about what you need to do as a parent. So Ill always know when Ive screwed up something.

    Your probably right.
    I guess when I say no regrets, I mean the end result.

    If we are talking about end results, then I am delighted with the wonderful adults my children are now.

    Agree and it's kinda weird but that 7 years mark starting seem to have been the foundation for us for almost everything else.
