re: Older folks that never had kids

I’m about to turn 45, make really good money, love my life, have a great niece and nephew, never had a burning desire and get annoyed after being around kids for about 6 hours. I’m good and not worried.

I fear my future children will have to grow up around all the kids who have bullshite parents.

Are selfish bastards and you should be made to suffer like the rest of us.

Everyone is different.
I support your decision as long as you don't mess with my life or shove your lifestyle down my throat.
Be a good neighbor

I feel bad for adults who have no kids and/or have no spouse. It's just my opinion but I think their lives are missing integral pieces. I've generally found them to be overall sad and it becomes apparent around the late 30s early 40s.
Spare us baw, we’re good and it’s by choice.

Friend and family gatherings and everyone attends with the kids and there's the one guy or girl solo.

I can’t imagine how hollow and boring life would be after 50 without kids. I’d be rich as frick, but wouldn’t have much to look forward to.
Spoken like someone who is saddled with kids he can’t give back. This life is amazing baw.
Nieces and nephews give you all the good without the annoying parts.

I’m 37 and no kids/family. Hasn’t been an issue up to this point. I enjoy life day by day.
Interesting way to say I’m a lonely guy and women have found something continuously wrong with me.

My wife and I wanted kids, but after multiple miscarriages, she didn't want the trauma of going through another, and we're getting to the age where it's not going to happen. I get self-conscious that my wife and I are the only ones without kids in our social circle. It's also made me really hate some in the abortion crowd. It's one thing to be pro-choice. It's another to brag about terminating your unborn child when there are people who can't have kids who would give anything to have them.

Do you get to an age and wonder what you’re supposed to do next?
That is not limited to folks who never had kids.
When my second child went off to college, I remember thinking, what do I do for the rest of my life.
I handled it well. I just did more rabbit hunting and watched more sports.
Now that I am past 80, its more difficult to stay interested in Sports and rabbit hunting is more physically challenging.
As long as you are mentally capable there will always be entertainment.
I have a sister, 87 whose husband was sterile. She has never complained about the situation. She does keep a dog as a pet. The dog is 14 and she expects it to die soon, but never complains. She says she probably won't get another pet once "Pansy" dies.
She watches a lot of sports on TV.

We are about 2 years away from being empty nesters. My wife and I have a healthy marriage and genuinely enjoy each other's company. I'm sure we'll be fine with no kids to take care of.

One guy that works for me is in his late 50’s and never had children because of medical issues with his wife. He is a devoted catholic and never misses a mass. They have dogs. Visits his momma as much as possible. And does things with his brother and nephews. He has no regrets

I am still single in my mid50’s. No kids. I have one sister but very few relatives left. If my sister dies before me, I will leave an inheritance to St. Jude Hospital in Tennessee.
I wish life wasn’t so lonely for me but I let myself gain 70 pounds since HS and that has affected my attractiveness. I have reached out to single ladies my age but the ladies are superficial and only want me for my investments.
I told my therapist that it would be nice to attract a 30 something attractive female that is a professional and not a gold digger.

Why don't you try to lose some weight Klinger? I say that as someone who's certainly not built like Adonis, but I can drop weight when I get motivated.

54 and never had kids. Don’t really ever think about it. I’m pretty close to my brother’s kids. That’s close enough.
