Poll: were you a "mistake"

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

My mom recently told me I was a mistake. They were in kind of hard financial times, and I was an unexpected financial burden on them. It kind of bummed me out for a while.

So, what about you guys / gals?

 

[Electric Amish]

I have no idea.

I don't dare ask. The way I turned out they'd say "Yes".

amish

 

[iwearnosox]

I'm not a mistake but my twin brothers were.

 

[The Stigenator]

i believe I was one of those happy moments in Germany.. (conceived in germany, born in India)

 

[notfred]

Not so much a mistake as unexpected.

 

[Hammer]

not that i know of

 

[igowerf]

Wow. This is a tough topic. I'm pretty sure I wasn't a mistake.

 

[JetBlack69]

I think so. They weren't expecting me, but I wasn't a financial burden on them or anything.

 

[mpitts]

I was the second of five kids, so no.

Now my older brother.. My parents were married in October and he was born in April. You figure that one out.

 

[AstIsis]

My parents planned to have me and my sister...even if she was 2 years later then they would have liked.

Somewhere in my childbirth education classes I could have sworn they said most children were mistakes, in the sense the pregnancy was not planned.

I could be wrong. I don't see anything bad about it. I'm guessing by what you say your Mom told you, her intention was to make you feel guilty. That wouldn't be very nice.

Yep, same here.
I don't see the big deal with being an "accident" or a "mistake." Probably 90% or more of all children are unplanned. The important thing is that your parents love (or loved) you.

Are you fuggin nuts ? I don't talk to my parents about sex-related stuff !!!!

... where's the poll answer for that one ?

 

[DCFife]

I wasn't a mistake originally, but I am now!

 

[woowoo]

Did your grandfather ever say.......
" I should have sprayed the hose on your mom and dad"

 

[Platypus]

yeah

 

[Quixfire]

Nope, I was planned as my other siblings.

 

[FoBoT]

not me , but i think my younger brother was

he was born 11 months after me

 

[dawnbug]

Even if you weren't planned, or were a mistake as your mom put it, I'm glad that you're around.:heart:

 

[monk3y]

Pretty sure I was... They were in very hard times when they had me... It just doesn't make much sense.

I was planned as was my brother.

The world was never meant for people like me.

 

[m2kewl]

you're all mistakes, big mistakes (and your mommies are currently crying - like mine)

Sister was, I was company.
