Nah. I truly love having kids. I waited until my thirties to do it. There’s nothing better than being a parent. Sure, they’ll beat you down, and being a hardass when you have to is tough, but watching your offspring grow into their own person is an incredible experience; it is far better than any drug I’ve done and more rewarding than any experience I’ve had.

Like anything else, there's a wide variance in quality of kids people have. Some kids are little monsters that absolutely destroy the parents' existence, others give it meaning. YMMV.

Vacations, extra money, and free time could take me a long way.
Still very thankful for my kids though, even if they’ve taken all those things away. Like a puppy that brings so much to your life but tears apart your house each and every day.

frick that. I love my kids. Hanging out with them is awesome. Yeah, it’s not always easy but there is nothing better than seeing my little dudes excited to be doing something fun with mom and Dad. You get back what you put into it like everything else in life.

Glad I don't have any kids. Too big of a risk of having one embarrass me or just being a piece of shite.

Sorry brother. I can really empathize with your situation. No answers here, but life may throw something unexpected at you (in a good way) - at least that’s my sincere hope for you.

54 here. Never married and no kids. It wasn’t the plan, it’s just the way it worked out. I have a niece that I love so much. We spend lots of time together and she gets all my money.

This is going to make some of you upset but if you don’t have any kids you have zero authority to say you’re glad you don’t have them. You literally have no clue what that biological tie does to a human being. That’s why these threads are always pointless. Only one group in these discussions knows what it feels like to not have then have kids in their life. The other side is talking from zero experience. These discussions just go in circles…..

I don’t have kids. I enjoy my freedom
What “next step”? Being happy is what matters. “Supposed to do next”? Just enjoy life bruh

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.
Do something about it bro.
Hit the gym and eat right. You’ll be less depressed and you’ll Meet a nice lady from church or a librarian with a good heart

The people with kids do not have the experience of living a life without having kids at their current age as well. Both sides talking from zero experience. Whatever floats your boat.
I know people who have kids that love them....I know people who have kids and it gnaws at them. Same with people without kids.

Any other kids in the family you can help develop? Money, advice, time?

Enjoy the downvote for your narrowminded view.
