Sounds like the mother might have postpartum depression. I’ve had similar thoughts too, and I also suffer from depression.

With my first born I was fine, and enjoyed pretty much the whole experience (colic notwithstanding). But with my second born, it took me a while to feel good about having a second child. Turns out that is natural, but it never hurts to talk to someone about it.

Not everyone who lives hates their life. It’s fine to have children, if you do your best to take care of them. It’s also fine to not have children. You do you.
