I think its partially because society today offers a bucketload of excuses to choose from so we can have choice without responsibilty. So now alot of people have enourmous trouble with admitting they made a wrong choice because of their own behaviour or misinformation; my mistake and I know better for next time. Or just that they made an unfortunate choice in the first place, so be it. I think we are extremely lucky that we get multiple chances (or choices I guess). As close to a do-over with hindsight as you can get without being reincarnated (if you believe in that).

In regards to birthing choices; we are practically handed the ability to pass the responsibility to someone else. I hear alot of "it had to be done" "the Dr/Nurse told me I needed it" and so on. I think alot of the anger with birth choices stems from the fact that its disheartening to think that there is even a remote possibility that what you believed was right at the time, wasnt neccesarily so; that someone you chose to put your faith in misguided you; or that you just made your decision and thats that. And you dont always like hearing that someone else made the right choices for themselves; or enabled themselves to be adequately knowledgable to make the appropriate choices.

No one likes to think that they made a wrong choice. I know I hate being wrong but I try very hard to live with that because Im human and we all make bad choices; best I can do is learn from them and go forward. I hope to teach my kids that too.
