Done something online you regret?
Swore extensively and unnecessarily on Facebook
I'm not proud of it, mainly because of the repercussions of my actions, but life goes on. Even though stuff on the internet is apparently never deleted, I lose no sleep over it now 
haha I had nosey neighbors that were gossiping and telling untrue stories about our family. They were even gossiping about my kids and such and this was not long after my son had been injured in a bus accident and I was under a lot of stress. Not wanting to deal with these people directly I went on FB where I know that if I said something the word would be spread and I went on a long tirade about how people of low intellect gossip about others without verifying facts and that just because someone is different than you doesn't mean they deserve to be the target of simpleton behavior. I also proceeded to tell how my life is an open book and that we are indeed agnostic/atheist vegans living in a farm town. We are unapologetic in our hippie ways, don't hurt anyone, stay out of the way and are the first people who would come to the aid of any of the miserable people living and gossiping around us. I also said say what ever you want about me, but you leave my kids alone - It was a very blistering statement and I felt a bit embarrassed initially - BUT it was effective and I have not had problems with neighbors gossiping about my kids. One person had the nerve to say that my children belong to another guy etc. completely untrue - but had my kids heard that tripe it could have been harmful. I was p#$#$ and I vented in a public venue - not my finest moment but it worked!

If you chose not to have children, do you regret it?This question is mostly aimed at adults who decided not to have children (whether because of infertility fatigue or personal preference) but I invite others who don't fit perfectly into the niche to share their thoughts as well.
