| 2/5/26 | ![]() Regretful Parents: “My Life Was Taken From Me” | Reddit Stories | ⚠️Content Warning: This episode discusses disability, regret, resentment, and medical trauma. Listener discretion advised.In this episode, Kristen and Erika dive into a post titled “I dislike my disabled child and I am ashamed.”Pulled straight from Facebook — where it racked up over 5,000 likes — this anonymous post opens up an uncomfortable conversation about parenthood, disability, genetic testing, medical gaslighting, caregiver burnout, and the realities no one prepares parents for.We react in real time to a mother describing life after learning her child will be profoundly disabled, require 24/7 lifelong care, and never be independent. From missed genetic diagnoses and a lawsuit, to rage, grief, resentment, and shame — this episode tackles the things parents aren’t allowed to say out loud.We also unpack:Medical gaslighting of women by doctorsSociety’s obsession with “perfect motherhood”How people are brutally cruel to regretful parents onlineThe myth that “everything will work out” If you’re childfree, on the fence, or questioning the fantasy version of parenthood society sells us, this episode is for you.More episodes, tours, and unfiltered chaos: DinkyPod.comJoin our childfree community: patreon.com/dinkypodTake a trip with us: https://trovatrip.com/host/profiles/dinky-wxarg Learn more about our podcast: dinkypod.com Love ya.

| 2/1/26 | ![]() Regretful Parents: “I've Always Loved Kids — I Just Hate My Own” | Reddit Stories | This one has a twist ending!In this episode of the Regretful Parents series, Erika and Kristen react to a Reddit post titled “I genuinely hate my baby.” What starts as a familiar story about parenting regret, sleep deprivation, and postpartum mental health quickly turns into total chaos when the hosts realize the post wasn’t written by a mother — but by a first-time father (FTF).This episode dives deep into the realities of new parent burnout, baby sleep training, cry it out (CIO) methods, and the crushing isolation that comes with being an expat parent with no support system. The Reddit post describes a 33-year-old parent with a 4.5-month-old baby who hasn’t slept more than two hours at a time, leading to severe mental health struggles, weight loss, emotional breakdowns at work, and intense regret over becoming a parent.Along the way, Erika and Kristen unpack:The emotional toll of sleep deprivation and newborn parentingWhether sleep training actually works or causes harmWhy parenting forums are obsessed with acronyms (FTF, CIO, PLS, TCB… seriously, why?)The differences in how mothers vs fathers are treated when they struggle mentallyHow parental regret is discussed (or ignored) onlineWhy so many overwhelmed parents turn to churches, daycare, or community support just to surviveAnd how being child-free offers a radically different perspective on parenting cultureThis episode blends dark humor, brutal honesty, and social commentary while exploring topics like postpartum depression (PPD), parenting expectations, gender roles, and the myth that having children automatically brings fulfillment.If you’re interested in:regretful parentsnew parent mental healthbaby sleep trainingparenting regret storieschild-free commentaryReddit parenting storiesfirst time father strugglespostpartum depression discussions…this episode is for you.👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations about regret and choosing a childfree life.Join our childfree community: patreon.com/dinkypodTake a trip with us: https://trovatrip.com/host/profiles/dinky-wxarg Learn more about our podcast: dinkypod.com Love ya.
