>you will be hard pressed to find a parent who will regret having children

It is such an extreme social taboo to admit you regret having your children that even if you find someone that does you would never know.

Agreed, though I know some people who evidently regretted having children, or never bonded with their own but developed "quasi-parental" relationships with children who weren't their own. More than one case, actually!

But I think most parents, in reasonable socioeconomic conditions, don't regret having children.

I agree, I would assume anonymity would allow for some honesty here, but I agree.
