It's a parenting community.
I'm trying to advocate for an open and inclusive parenting community, their comment wasn't mean or insulting or anything that justifies a negative reaction
As a parent I've certainly had days where I regretted having kids, I don't begrudge other people sharing similar sentiments
I think if you go to a parenting community and say you're glad you never had kids you should expect downvoting. Nobody was being mean. It added nothing.
Of course they're free to be glad they didn't have kids, I'm not arguing against that, but this doesn't seem like the best place to express that and the downvotes bear witness to that IMO.
Going to go with the old “it contributes nothing to the conversation“ rule.
