Not a 40-something. 37 here... I love kids but they should be someone else's
I don't have any and I don't want any. I have animal babies and I am more than content with that. I also like to eat (you won't see me under 1500 calories unless I am sick), get in a good work out when I can and like to have fun.
*Edit... married 15 years!0 -
Rare my foot,lol! No kids! I teach them only,lol! Just Like Dr.Seuss replied when they asked him if he ever had kids..."You make them, and I'll entertain them!0

47. Married. We have no kids. We love it. This was our choice. LOVE IT.
edit: about 7 years ago my sister asked me when I was going to "settle down, and start my life". ummm????
What doesn't she get? LOL0 -
In less than 9 years I will be saying that. I don't want kids...0

Wow - I didn't realize there were so many others out there! I'm 45, single, and no children nor plans to have any, even if the single status (hopefully) changes. I do have two beautiful cats though, and wouldn't mind a dog or two if I ever stop traveling so much. But no desire for children.0

you go girl!!0

I am 38 and no kids except my furry baby Angel!! Single and happy although all my family keeps trying to get me hooked up with someone. 0

I'm 32, but am a fellow non-breeder who is actively planning to NOT have kids... It's tough, because just about everyone I know either has kids or is planning to have them. My husband and I are in full agreement that we don't want kids though... We just want to spoil our nieces and nephews! Feel free to add me if you like 0

I'm 29 with no kids. And I'm not going to have any so I'll eventually be a 40 something without kids. 0

You are not alone my friend! I just turned 40 last month and I don't have kids and don't want any. I would however, like to meet a nice guy to settle down with...eventually

37...no kids. I always get the "But you'd make such a great mom" speech. I usually respond with, "I also think I'd make a great prostitute but I don't plan on trying that either."
I love kids (I'm even a middle school teacher), I just don't want my own!0 -
I'm 46, married 20 years and no children. It's not the life for everyone, but I love it.0

I feel ya on that one girlfriend! Love the prostitute example :laugh:0
-
Me! Me! 41 and childless by choice.
So glad you posted this. :drinker:0 -
I'm 40 - married for 15 years - no kids! (This was by choice - and we LOVE our life) :-)
Close to the same here.... 35, married 12 years, our kids have 4 legs or fins/gills0 -
mhuch, that's hilarious!
I'm 37, married, no kids and not quite 100% sure I want to stay that way. Still in talks and once I lose this weight, I'll figure it all out. Happy to see I'm not alone...I feel like I am alone in this a lot. About to have my 20th high school reunion and I don't want to go because I know the biggest question will be about how many kids do you have. All my friends from high school have them except me.0 -
43, married for 23. Actually we have a son but he's in his 20s and in the USMC overseas; so.....the only child we have now is furry and almost 1 years old. He's a cute little doll face persian - Ari
Most of our friends are married with no children (except the fur kind)
***No one should be made to feel bad about not having children. I know plenty have said things to us because we didn't have more, but that's our choice, our life. Children are a lifetime commitment and there are plenty of parents out there that shouldn't have been parents and their children suffer because they didn't make a better decision. Not saying anyone would or would not be a good parent...just saying its a personal decision and you shouldn't feel bad because of it.0 -
I'm another one. 41, married almost 13 years, no kids, four dogs Hubby said if something ever happened to him I would be the lady with all the dogs. We have nieces/nephews we can get whenever we want I get so tired of hearing about soccer games in the lunchroom at work. ugh. 0

I'm soon to be 43 with no kids or partner. I'd like both, but so far that hasn't been part of my journey...0
-
44 - no children and no intentions to change that...
:-)0 -
And another one of us.
49, married 14 years, no kids, unless you count the furry feline sort.0 -
44, married 16 years and no kids except the 4 legged ones! It was by choice and we love our life.0
-
Me too, over forty and no kids!0
-
I noted the cat pattern too!! Will be 49 next Monday, and my feline Alex and I are quite content.
I think it is great when people who shouldn't be parents know that and stick to that plan.
It's terrific to see so many of us out there... would rather be happy alone than unhappy and partnered.
Feel free to add me if you like!0 -
I always get the "But you'd make such a great mom" speech. I usually respond with, "I also think I'd make a great prostitute but I don't plan on trying that either."
