    I'm 32 with no kids and single. Its a complete double whammy for me at times but sometimes it feels like a gift from god. I usually depends on the company I keep.

    So - not to veer off topic but I want to say that I'm 29, one daughter, trying for another, and recently married.

    I have no good friends with kids. Some of my friends are recently married. The others are single. I have the opposite problem of you. I am ALWAYS searching for mom friends and feel out of place sometimes with my others. Not as far as things to talk about but just on things that we can do with kids......

    Compeltely different end of the spectrum that I never took a moment to realize how people without kids feel about people who do in this context lol. BTW I do throw myself pity parties about not having good mom friends lol

    Though I have a daughter, feel free to add me since about 50% of my clients are either unmarried/married without children and we have great conversations that don't include children.

    I am married and have a son who's 12. Turned 50 this year, and want to get in better shape to keep up with him. Too many years spent travelling around the globe for work takes it's toll physically. I'm not travelling as much and as a result have an easier time keeping on track with healthy choices.

    Hi

    I am 42 married with no kids although have two adult step children who were 4 and 1 when I met their Dad. He didn't want any more and I knew that (we met 20 years ago). I've buckled a few times but at the end of the day he is who I wanted to be with, and still do. There was no way I was going to leave him because I wanted children - it was never a big dream of mine, I think occasionally my body clock overwhelmed me, together with a natural maternal desire that I think a lot of people experience. I do feel like I am not normal, because most women have them or are expected to and I hate it when celebrities (and others) hark on about how having kids is the best thing that ever happened to them,

    My husband and I are happily married and I know plenty of people who drift completely apart when they have kids. I have a great relationship with my step children and look forward to being a granny to their children when the time come (if it does). I do often wish they were really mine though. I did spend the best part of my 20's and 30's helping to raise them though so I should feel I had some involvement in how they turned out!

    I think facebook rubs it in a lot - years ago people just got on with parenting quietly, but now there are photos and stories shoved in your face all the time about how great their offspring are!! Drives me mad!

    Happy to have more friends if anyone would like to add me!

    38 & no kids here/never married but want both! Anyone can add me as a friend: )
    I know that "third wheel" feeling well. Right now I'm not quite ready to start dating again & want to lose a little more before getting back out there; then again I'm bored and will reconsider over the weekend?! Hoping 2014 will be full of great men to date and hopefully finding the right guy once & for all!

    I'm 38, in a relationship, and don't have (nor do I want) kids. My BF doesn't want them either, so my desire not to have children has never been a problem in our relationship. I am perfectly happy to be an amazing aunt to my gorgeous niece and mom to my fur kids (a cat and a dog)! Feel free to add me!!

    Feel free to add me -- I'm 43, divorced, have no children (just two silly cats). I have two nieces that I adore and I work with children for a living, but no need to have any of my own at this point (and that ship has probably sailed for me anyway, lol).

    First of not pathetic at all! You sound like you are just trying to connect with others :)

    I'm 32 (just joined tonight), single with no mini-me's. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I want kids. I like children, love my nephew, but I don't feel a very strong need to have children. There is a lot of pressure to have kids as you get older and I have had friends "move on" once they have had their children. It hurts a little when it happens, but I understand their life has changed and try not to judge. It's also tough being single when you are excluded because you don't fit in with the couples.

    Despite all this, I do feel grateful to be living in a time when being single/childless and over 30 is not so rare. Just look at the amount of responses in this thread - we are definitely not alone!

    I do not have any friends as I had just joined. Feel free to add me if you would like!

    38, no children. Was married for 7 years then divorced. Don't marry someone if you do not absolutely worship everything about each other. Marrying them because you care for them, want to be there for them, and help them, while all good reasons, are not the right ones.

    Maybe one day I will find that. Who knows. I do hope so.
