re: What are your thoughts on people who never have children?

I'm glad they're out there. My kids are going to need to befriend and old kid less millionaire who eventually leaves them everything if they want an inheritance.

There are a lot of older people who are like this that have children

All the older people I know, mostly people in their late 70s early 80s are still active and have friends, spend time on the web communicating with grandkids and other relatives. The few that can’t drive use Uber, and need flash, you can get groceries and every thing else delivered, this ain’t the 1950s.

Man I’m late 30s and finally had my first a month ago. I’ve prayed hard for this boy and man there is absolutely nothing like being his dad. Everyday is a new day and a blessing. Best damn thing that ever happened to me

42 year old non parent here.

Ex was a decade older than me. When we married I was 31. She didn’t want kids at her age. I was okay with it. A decade later I broke it off. I was okay with that.

Never gave it a second thought until the last year. I don’t dwell on it much. When I do it’s not for long.

I’m certain at a later stage of my life I may regret not having family around to help me to wipe my own arse. But every other Thursday, when the check hits the checking account, I’m pretty MF happy.

I do what I want. When I want. I go where I want to go. When I want to go.

I’m happy. Could I be happier? Maybe. But happy is a relative, subjective term. It differs for different people.

For me? Like I said I’m pretty MF happy.

I have no kids and am the same age as you. If I reach a stage in life that I am no longer self-sufficient I don't want to live anyway - whether I have kids, grandkids, whatever.

I'm sad they don't experience the love of a parent for a child.

Lol. I don't give a shite about the love of a parent for a child.

So its about money? What if you had money AND kids? Would you be happier?

I'm not married with kids but would think that having plenty of money and at least one set of grandparents in town would help immensely with minimizing the stress of having kids.

I'm glad I had kids but I don't have anything bad to say about people who choose not to. Probably best not to have kids if you don't want them.

And sometimes people don't ever meet the right person in time or want kids and aren't able to have any.
