  • There are a few things that you could do:

    1) Get some help from family and friends; if they knew the trouble you're having, they'd probably help you out (if they care about you and have the time).

    2) Go to the library and check out some books in the Parenting section. You are not the first mom who regrets having kids and there's lots of free information out there on dealing with a situation like yours.
    3) Give your children up for adoption. It's not too late.

    At least you're aware enough to admit there's a problem and that's a really big step. Now you have to take action because while kids are that little, they need that extra attention and bonding so that their brains develop properly. If they don't get adequate attention in the first few years, even if they were born normal, the damage (or lack of development) to their brains is IRREVERSIBLE and they will have learning/social disabilities for the rest of their lives.

    They didn't ask to be here.. That's not fair.. Im glad to hear you take good care of them but you are their mother and those are your children.. If you didn't want them you should have been more responsible.. There's nothing worse than a mother who doesn't want her children.. You do what you have to but there's more to raising children than just making sure they are fed..

    It doesn't "shound" crazy at all. A lot of mothers go through this kind of thing. Do what you think is right for the children. Do you think that this is fair to them?

    Yeah agreed with precious posts. And seems like you don't know how to spell neither. I'm not perfect at it neither. Buy know enough. And sounds like you're not ready.
