    I guess to each his (or her) own...but I'm thinking having kids because you feel pressure from society or rushed into it because your 'clock" is ticking is way more selfish than those who choose not to have any so they can live a fun, carefree life.

    I don't think it's selfish, it's just one of those things where you have a limited amount of time to do something. And the sad reality is if you ever think you might want to have children, by 30 you better be making those plans because most women's fertility declines greatly between 30 and 40.

    By age 35 your chances of conceiving per month are cut in half.

    I heard an article a while ago that lots of women are being lulled into a false sense of hope by the much publicized cases of women who have babies much later in life. What they don't realize is that this is often the result of spending a lot of money and that they happen very rarely.

    Women get the short end of the biological stick.
    Yes

    Yes

    It's also hard growing up with a parent that has a huge age gap from you. I'm 22 and dealing with my father slowly passing (in the way you do from dementias) from Lewy Body Dementia. He's 73 this year.

    Yes thats weird. You should have kids.. Here you can have my teenagers and my husband, and I'll be 34 with no kids in your place to protect you from the weirdness.

    In all seriousness, you are not weird, there is nothing wrong with not having kids or getting married yet, or ever if you so choose.

    L^ what she said, you can have my 2, my husband and my 2 staffies to boot!

    then i can be 32, no kids, married once :D

    24 married two kids but you can still add me. I had visions of being an old maid til I feel in love and now I know you can't leave on love and marriage is work so you can have my husband, (he's 27 like you)and I keep my kids so you can only be half weird. :) you are fine dear, everyone is different.

    I'm 31, never married (though I might like to be someday if I find the right man) and don't want kids.

    Feel free to add me if you want. :)

    I am getting a little chuckle at all the early 20-somethings stating they won't ever have kids. Some of you WILL change your minds.

    turning 29 in two weeks, don't live with my boyfriend (of two years) yet, and have a very active social life. marraige isn't going to be on the table for a couple more years, and kids a year or so after that... it's different for everyone, but we're all here to get healthy or maintain a healthy lifestyle, so we've all got that in common.

    28, never married, not dating, no kids, and perfectly happy with my life :)

    I love kids; I am a teacher-- BUT I do NOT want my own... not now and possibly not ever. I'm much too selfish for that ;P I travel a lot and I like that nothing ties me down (except for my workout routine, ha ha).

    Nothing against married people, people with kids... to each their own. But I LOVE my life and wouldn't change a thing about my single and 0 kids status at this point! :)

    24 here, will be 25 in the summer. my boyfriend is 27, 28 in the fall and we are childless unless you count our furry four legged children haha.
    nothing wrong with it, i feel like having kids at this time would be a burden, so we are better off with our own little "family" of a doggy and ratty. legally single still and will be for a while (we are going on 4 years and have had a place together a couple years already, but no rush).
    :drinker:

    There are more people like us out there than people realize! I'm 29, never been married & do not have the least bit of interest in having children of my own. :)
