    If you think not having kids at 27 is weird, you've been watching too much "16 and pregnant". That's bad for you. Stop.

    Does 25, once engaged, currently in a long term relationship, won't be having kids for a while count?

    36, no kids, no BF at the moment either. Always feel like the odd man out. On the flip side, I see people who are married with kids ,OR single with kids, and look so much older than me! They are always amazed when I tell them I am not in my 20s. My response, " I'm still a kid." lol I would live to get married and start a family. If it happens, when it happens, I'll know it's right.

    I'm about to be 39 with no kids. (Was married once though).

    My BF is 37, never married and no kids.

    So you are not alone, and there's nothing wrong with it. I find people have a hard time accepting the fact that we don't want kids however and keep pushing us to which is annoying. No one ever questions parents why they chose to be parents but they will question to all hell people who chose not to be parents and treat you like a leper.

    Sorry it's a sore point for me especially since now everyone hears my clock ticking but me and my BF.

    LoL @ leper reference. You're right. I have 1 and everyone keeps pushing for 2 etc. If i would have known all the responsibilities & challenges i was going to have, i might have chosen to remain childless as well. I absolutely LOVE my daughter, but I don't blame ppl who don't want kids. Mine was a surprise, like "ta-da".

    well...I KNOW I am weird...but not because I'm 35 never married and no kids :D I am recently engaged for the first time...career was my priority so marriage and kids was not a big deal to me. I also gained weight from eating crap and ... well...being lazy I guess. So let's do this!

    I am single at age 38 years old and am a single mother of 1 daughter. I felt the exact same way you did got married at age 27 years old but ended up divorced a year later because he was abusive.

    27 just isn't all that old. Didn't have my first kid till I was 34.

    In any case, I'm glad attitudes about having children have changed from "mandatory" to "meh." I've know a number of parents that never should have had kids. Didn't really want them. Don't really like the parenting gig. That's no good for anyone involved...especially the kids.

    Not weird at all. Personally I think 30+ is a good time to get married just because you and your partner have had time to really figure your self out mentally, emotionally and financially. I mean if you make it work younger good for you but I have NEVER seen a young married couple last more than 5-10 years.

    That comment is so annoying.

    I was married at 20 and hubby was 24. We have 3 kids ages almost 10, 7 and 5 and we just celebrated 11 years of marriage. And we have an awesome marriage!

    Pretty sure the reason most of these posts come up (and I've notice they pop of frequently) is because people see their MFP's talking about their SO's and kids, while still in their mid 20s. Yet as soon as a thread like this one hits the forums, all the never married, no kids people come out of the woodwork. Speaking as someone in said group, I would say we probably ARE in the minority on this site, but that's no reason to get down on ourselves.

    If anyone is looking to add some support from a NMNK, feel free to add me.
