I do not believe for a second that Null has never heard a parent express regret for having children, that's something he said without thinking to dunk on Ralph. It's an unfortunately all-too-common sentiment, and I find it's usually alcoholic parents who express this to their children because they're the perfect storm of prerequisites to say something that damaging to a child. A lot of alcoholics are bar-hoppers or party animals, and you simply cannot sustain that kind of lifestyle with a newborn. Even that's not generally enough for parents to express it, but with an alcoholic they are frequently in a state of lowered inhibition, so they have ample cause and opportunity to say some pretty heinous shit to their offspring as a way of venting or as some misguided confession.
