Brown later tweeted: "I'm so over people bringing this past s**t up!!! Yet we ...

By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyKids. Are they bundles of joy? Or crippling burdens? A trip to the mall will remind anyone that it depends on the parent and depends on the kid. However, a headline like that is not going sell papers. Despite the title of New York Magazine cover story "I Love My Children. I Hate My Life," readers learn on page six of the six-page article that research reveals in the long run parents do not regret having kids. It's the childless who have regrets.
