    I got married for the first time at 28 and was 30 before I had kids. You sound pretty normal to me. :-)

    31, never married (but would like to be one day!), no intention of ever having children, but I would like more cats. And dogs.

    Hi, i'm 38, no kids and gained weight by no exercise my whole life, drinking real ale and red wine and eating unhealthily! I'm not really overweight just messy and baggy...my sister had a baby last year and her stomach is flatter than mine!! So I get where you are coming from! :happy:

    34, never married, no kids. No it's not weird, I'm quite happy living without more responsibilities than me. I don't see a reason to get married because I don't want kids.

    36, never married, no kids. I don't know anyone 'in real life' who had kids under 30... No, you're not alone!

    Not weird at all. I must admit that I'm married and have been for 17 years, got married just before more 21st birthday. Didn't have our first ( and only) kid until I was 32 years old. We had pets first! (after the first 3-4 years of being married).

    I put on my weight before kid from plain old not moving enough and eating too much.....plus being married I was just too comfortable!

    Feel free to add me, if you don't mind an "oldie" as a pal. (that is married with one kid)
    I need to lose weight and be healthy for my family, but for me - I don't want to be fat and forty.....and I only have a little until 2 years to achieve and maintain my goal!

    Umm, I am 24 and got married this year, and am absolutely the first one in my circle of friends to even consider this step. They accept it and are happy for me, but marriage and children is very far off still for most of them (all being my age). So no, I do not think that you are weird lol. I don't know if it's a cultural thing (I'm from Germany) but if you are having kids before 30 here, you might get frowned at

    I am 29, just broke off an engagement, and have no kids. I'm starting all over and focusing on myself for now. If love comes, it comes. I'm not looking for it.

    I know how you feel because it seems that all my friends are married and a truckload of them just had babies in the last couple months!!! It can get to you if you think too much on it. However, I need to remember that if and when it's right, it will be right.

    Anyone would like to add me, feel free. Always looking for fellow motivated buddies!
    Have a great day everyone!
    Heather :)

    Lol. You might feel the odd one out in your circle of friends (and maybe at work), but the truth is that there are MANY single chicks-past-the-age-of-25-years out there. Truly, it's no worse off than being part of a couple . . . . .believe me, there are not so great moments on either side of the fence! You appear to be a confident and strong woman, so just continue defining your life for yourself and you will be fine:happy:

    Congrats on the magnificent weight loss!!! You are looking good. :flowerforyou:

    I'm pro cat. In fact, I can send you a couple! Seriously, I have access to massive numbers of the cute, climby, purring, clingy things.

    Nah you're fine. I'm 30 no kids. Never married. It'll happen when it happens.


    It'll happen IF it happens. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. Now the kids are grown and gone, I'm divorced, and I've moved halfway around the world! I'm loving my single life and don't expect to ever give it up again.

    I did not get married till I was 28 had first child at 33 2nd at 34. Or shall I say my wife had our two children I just stood next to her while she gave birth. And dont get me wrong I love them to death but sometimes I wonder why the heck we decided to have kids. Oh yea and one step child but Ill claim her as my own.

    I'm 29, never married and no kids. I call that success! I was just wondering this yesterday actually. With the cultural phenomena of adultolescence (people increasingly remaining psychologically adolescents as well as financially dependent on their baby boomer parents well into their twenties and sometimes thirties) whether this was going to be the result - i.e. a trend of people getting married and having kids 10 years later then the previous generation did?

    There is nothing wrong with your choices. I'm 36, never married, and have 0 interest in ever having children. Some people are supportive and respect my choices and others don't get it.

    Never do anything simply because it seems like it's what society expects of you. Live your life your way and try to enjoy it as much as you can.


    I'd rather you admit to not wanting them than to have children and not do *kitten* for them! So, good for you! I totally get it. Maybe you can teach a class to some men & women....Sorry early morning rant lol :flowerforyou:
