    I've been saying I don't want kids since I was about 14. Nobody believed me then but they are starting to now that I am 40!

    Same here, in fact I still sometimes get told 'you'll change your mind one day' :laugh:

    Nice to see so many of us on here. I've always been made to feel weird because I've never wanted kids. One place I used to work I heard a rumour that I couldn't have kids and everyone should not mention kids to me because it would upset me. When I asked someone where this rumour started I was told 'We just assumed you couldn't because you don't have any' :huh:

    YES! People cannot believe that I would choose to not have kids. How dare me to defy my reproductive capabilities! *gasp*

    Well, I'm not a woman, but I will say it's the same for guys out here! It's quite the rarity I must admit...

    So I'm 40, no kids and running solo as well.

    I actually DO have 4 cats...so can you say CRAZY CAT LADY!?!? I don't care, call me crazy. Life is good - I am blessed. I should also add that I have a step-daughter from a previous marriage and we are still very close. So I can relate to step-moms, for sure.

    Just so everyone knows, I never really wanted to have kids. People kept telling me that I would change my mind or that I would be missing out but none of that has applied to me. I have no regrets. Hubby and I love life the way it is. Someone mentioned that their pet is not a substitute for a child. I agree with that, except my "kids" think I'm their Mama and I'm happy to oblige.

    So happy to meet everyone!

    In my book 4 doesn't qualify you as crazy. My best friend (also my cousin) is married and chose not to have any kids. They had 12 cats at one point but are down to 8 cats & a dog right now. I'm almost 34....been married almost 12 yrs and we had to delay having kids due to chronic migraines. We started TTC late last year. Our animals have always been our children :)

    WOWZAS ... and here I was feeling kind of lonely since almost everyone I know is married and has kids!

    I have a cat and a dog, both of course, think they're human and entitled to everything "mom" gets ... LOL

    Please feel free to add me ... :)

    I'm closer to 30 than I am 40 but I don't have kids and know that I never want to (and never will) have any. It's great to see other women who feel the same as me!

    We should start a group for 40+ women, single and no kids.

    I fall into this bracket, and I don't even have a cat.

    49, so still count as 40something, just, LOL. No kids, never married despite a very few long-term relationships. There's a lot to be said for friends, and a dog and a cat..
