I regret having children, they’re never leaving home

I barely wanted kids, I felt pressured into having them, and I have never enjoyed being a mom. I did all the right things, homeroom mom, Girl Scout troop leader for ten years (2 different troops), and I have a good relationship with my children, but I resent them. I know my life would be happier if they were never born, and with the economy the way it is, even with a degree, my oldest can’t find a job to support themselves, and I don’t believe that’s going to change anytime soon. I thought I would have an empty nest by now, and instead I’m saddled with two kids that barely help around the house, and expect me to support them.

Ladies, if you’re on the fence, get an IUD and make them wrap it up, or you’re going to be bitter like me, watching all my child-free friends happily traveling the globe, with ample retirement funds, and realizing I could have had that.
