    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).

    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. :)

    I'm 29, not married, no kids... I don't want to have children, but I would like to be a mother, and I have always wanted to adopt, since I was a kid... everyone thinks that's weird, and always say "you'll change your mind when you meet the right guy"... doubtful. It breaks my heart that so many kids need a home, which is why when the time is right I want to adopt (once I have a better job and a house that is, once I am able to give a kid a good life).

    31 and just got engaged. I swore I was never getting married and I'm not that keen to have kids, but who knows what will happen. But no, you're not weird. 27 is young, dude!

    I got married at 26, had my first child at 31. Everyone is different, it's all good. You're definitely not weird and I'm jealous of the fact that you can sleep in and spend all that time in bed lol. : )

    I'm 28, not married, no kids, and I think it's GREAT! When I find the right man, I will be glad to get married and have babies, it just hasn't happened for me yet. Now, I have an awesome boyfriend, who I would LOVE to have all that with, but I refuse to pressure him. When he's ready, he'll ask because he Loves me (not because he thinks he has to or he'll lose me). If not, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it (which hopefully is never). Don't stress. God has a plan for everyone.

    28, not married, no kids.

    Though I'm quite shy and quiet which seems to be a rather small issue.

    I'm 27, never been married and do not have children. That is if you don't count a lab with a snotty teenager's attitude. ;)

    Add me if you want. I'm new and am kind of obsessively checking the forums for motivation.

    Am I weird? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people people having babies or marriage. but I'm starting to get the feeling that I am the odd man out on this site. Anyone else want to be friends with a single chick with no kids who gained her weight through bad eating and not getting out of bed? =)

    Everyone reading this, have a glorious day =)

    WOOHOO! I feel better, usually I feel left out as most of my friends list talk about their kids or families or prom. And I'm like, I got this awesome smelling shampoo lol

    Orig poster ^^^^

    That made me cackle - with recognition! I'm 29, never been married and no children - yet. Been engaged now though for 6... :huh: no, 7 months with a lot more time ahead before the trip down the aisle.

    Before that though, I felt like the odd one out too amongst friends. If it were a race I'd have been losing.... but thankfully, none of it is a race or a contest. Things like that happen when they're meant to. Just be who you are, and do what makes you happy. Everything else will fall into place.

    Add me if you like. We can discuss shampoo. :bigsmile: :laugh:

    35 here and also no kids or marriage history.
    I think these days its fairly common for people to establish themselves first professionally and live a more cosmopolitan lifestyle before they get married in the late 30's
    There is no risk for a first pregnancy at the age of 35-38 these days, for example. (assuming the mother is healthy)

    unlike some posters, I DO want to have kids and get married. But it will happen when it happens.
    If you rush it you end up regretting it.
