I'm 37 and I regret having them.why do you regret? are you not proud of them?
I’m just tired of it. Tired of the endless work, cleaning up, being yelled at by a 4 year old yet working hard to provide for them and clean up after them constantly.
I’m sure this will pass. But I’m not sure what the point is anymore.
It will be more rewarding when they’re older

The problem is not the child, but your internal turmoil. You feel pressured to publish, work, etc. This just adds to it. But the pressure is all internal. It's your choice.

Very similar experience here.

Oh no, I'm getting yelled at, oh wow, CLEANING UP, NOOO!
This generation really deserves a devastating war, we'd learn again what is actually painful and hard.
wait 20 yearsNo regrets here. 40. Beautiful wife who goes to the gym everyday (after her 6 figure job). We have tons of friends, hobbies, and more money than we know what to do with. We thought seriously about having kids 10 years ago, but we are both so glad we didn't.
Tell me, what quirky activities do you do that stave off loneliness?
find some other hobby or passion in your life. only boring people get lonely.You don't really understand what being _alon_ means, finish your high school homework first.
you don't really understand what not being boring and generic means either.
Most people want kids. Not everyone does! Not everyone is suited to be a parent, including some fraction of people who want and have kids! You are not better or worse because you do have kids. Some have them and regret it. Some don't and regret that. In both cases they don't really know if they would have been happier the other way. These should be very uncontroversial statements.

I hope you know you didn't answer the question
if you can't see the answer there, you are a perfect example of a boring and generic person. go have kids if you cannot think of anything else to do.

It was just an insult at first, but I start to think you are really a high schooler.
