Regretful Parents: "I Scheduled Two Abortions But Chickened Out" | Reddit Stories

In this episode, Erika and Kristen dive into a jaw-dropping Reddit post titled “I Am A Roller Coaster Of Regret And Acceptance.” From religious guilt to missed abortions, dating struggles as a single parent, and the crushing realities of living with family, this story sparks one of our most chaotic discussions yet. We unpack: Why people banking on miscarriage is not a life plan The real statistics about pregnancy loss How religion traps people — especially women — in unwanted parenthood Why telling single parents to “just make more money” is useless advice The myth of “plenty of good men who will raise your kid” Dating with kids and the harsh math of shrinking romantic options What realistic support actually looks like for regretful parents Why child support and 50/50 custody are not as simple as Reddit makes it sound How societal expectations sabotage women’s independence Plus: Erika threatens to hand out abortions like Oprah gives out cars Kristen Googles miscarriage stats mid-episode Speculation on whether these Reddit commenters are bots A brief detour into Europe trips, face masks, and alleged co-host hatred A public reminder: STOP GETTING PREGNANT Perfect for listeners who: Are childfree or childfree-curious Love dark humor, honesty, and chaos Want a realistic look at the consequences of accidental parenthood Enjoy commentary on Reddit’s wildest regret-parent stories 💬 Have a regretful parent story?
