Deciding whether or not to have children is one of the biggest choices a person can make. Once they are here, there is no going back, which is why it is so important to think carefully about whether parenthood is something you truly want and are ready for.

One man had always wanted kids, while his wife was much more unsure about the idea. Still, the couple went on to have two children. Years later, however, the woman admitted that she had never really loved them, leaving her husband heartbroken and unsure of what to do next.

    This guy is an a*****e. Letting his wife treat the children that way! She's not even being polite to them. How does this guy not see this is a form of a***e?
