    I always get the "But you'd make such a great mom" speech. I usually respond with, "I also think I'd make a great prostitute but I don't plan on trying that either."

    I love this response!!! It's not one that came to mind, but I am totally using it from here on out.

    Brilliant! :flowerforyou:

    This is a great come back. Love it!! I am more than 40 and not only do not have kids but I have never wanted them. I am the oldest of 8 and I have changed more diapers and baby-sat more than many mothers. YUCK!! Must say it turned me off them.

    41 and no kids - by circumstances not choice. But proud aunt of 10 nieces and nephews who I love spoiling when ever I travel back to that side of the world. Would love more friends in this category.

    I am 45 without kids. I am married but that didnt happen until 41. i am happy as a lark as a spiritual mama to nieces and nephews. Didnt have to get stretched marks and give birth to be a mama.

    I'm 50 and we're childless by choice. Agree with others that say it's really not SO rare! :smile:

    I am 29 and me and my husband have no kids. I married my high school sweetheart and tried to get pregnant since I was 23. I got diagnosed with unexplained fertility. Then my husband got cancer and the chemotherapy made him not able to have children. So we are that couple with no kids. I get sad sometimes. But I help with my nieces and nephews and love being a good aunt!!

    39 next month, married for almost 14 years and child free. Definitely not common as a military spouse but it's nice to see so many of us on MFP!

    I'll be 41 in about 6 weeks married 10 years and no kids. This is a great idea for a message board

    This. But I would consider ONLY if I find the right guy and marry him FIRST. If it happens it happens. If not, then it's all good. :bigsmile:

    Oh...and 40 end of the year.

    Another no kids...54 and child free by choice. Significant other (nope, decided not to marry as well) enjoy the lifestyle. Of course, the dog thinks he's a child!

    41, been with my husband for 22 years, childfree by choice.

    I consider the tv show "I didn't know I was pregnant" to be in the horror genre
