2) People who could have done things differently, but would probably still have regrets, just different ones... because there is no such thing as "perfect".
I doubt this statistic means that 29% thinks they got it spot on. Most probably just accept that "life happens" and there's not much point in having regrets / wishing to change the past... because all you end up with is things being different, not necessarily better. People who don't realise that need to watch The Flash or Back to the Future  .

But yes, once again i agree with you TS, I think most of us do what we think is best at the time, maybe looking back in hindsight and with a little more experience under our belt we might think we could have done something differently but it's a waste of time worrying about that i think, I think most parents do the best they can at that particular time
