    I will be 40 in May and have been with my husband for 12+ years. We never wanted kids and made it official a few months ago with his vasectomy. Whoot, Whoot!

    My parents have 9 grandkids but they were still holding out hope for us. Yes, I did disappoint them once again.

    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.

    I love this! This demographic does have a tendency to own cats.

    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:

    Oh, I can SOOO relate to that! It's amazing how much misplaced sympathy I get. Usually I come back with, "I tried to get a tubal when I was 18 but they made me wait until I was 27 - and it was STILL a fight!" :)

    For the record, the only reason I have cats, aside from loving them, is you don't need to take them for walks and they are ok with being left alone for a little while(I work a lot and with no s/o)........independent, like me :)

    turning 40 this year. NO kids, unless you count fur-kids (two wiener dogs) and married 16+ years.
    I only have one friend on here (& she's a sweetheart) basically because I am focused on my own stuff and haven't really sought out any. I focus on exercise, diary and I log in every day several times a day. I don't comment alot or check out others stuff. Anyways anyone can feel free to add me. I'll send a friendly hello once in a while....
    :happy:

    Turned 40 in September. No kids, and a relationship that I think the social networking site "it's complicated" status was designed for :) I do have two cats, but to be fair, I've had them since I was 28... Feel free to friend me, I tried to friend a few people and can't get it to work.

    I'm in my mid-60s and decided not to have children before I ever left home.

    Had a few husbands. Found out I not only didn't want children; I didn't really want a husband either. Of course after being divorced for 35 years, I have been taking care of my 2nd ex-husband for the past 7 years. I'm still wondering how I let that happen. Guess I wasn't doing anything anyway. :laugh:

    I am 40, happily married and we are child-free by choice. We just bought a new house and received a few "plenty of room for babies" comments. We just look at each other and think "plenty of room for whatever we want!"

    So great to see so many women responding to this post. I think it might have potential to be a different group than the non-mom group.

    Why does every one think kids make a home complete? For me and my hubby its our always over adored kitty and she deserves all the love we give her :smile:
