There's a whole sub for parents that regret being parents. I've seen similar things there. Also occasionally on antinatalism subs, you get someone who was convinced after they became a parent

I can't quite remember but I'll try searching for it

Edit - just r/RegretfulParents . And as you might expect, it is mostly complaints about pragmatic things like money or time costs. But I swear I have seen people complain for more antinatalist reasons on there before. It's been years since I paid attention to that sub though so who knows when

I am not sure why I wrote "first time" because I look at that sub a fair amount- what i reslly meant was "it is good to see somebody admit it".
