Down Under Wonder User ID: 29257489 Australia 12/07/2012 09:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have not had a GF in nearly 20 years and am doing well. Pretty much ignore women as I have no need for them. Do not hate them, just think life is more of a challenge without any help. Its kinda fun out here, on my own, looking in. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28867210 United States 12/07/2012 10:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All the kids in this world are our kids, in my opinion. Let's be good to them. I never wanted kids. I am far too selfish and knew that about myself, best decision I ever made. I would have been a terrible mother. Selfish people could never admit to selfishness. You were just afraid of not being good enough. LOVE bless you my beautiful friend. that is very kind of you. I know who I am inside, I acknowledge my shortcomings. I am too obsessed with keeping myself in shape and my own interests. Children, as beautiful as they are, just never appealed to me for some reason, maybe I was afraid, or maybe it was just my destiny to be childless. I love my husband more than anything, and would have tried to give him a child if he wanted one, but then I would have been untrue to myself. Children deserve two parents that want to be parents. My parents were not very involved in my life, and I believe this also shaped me. I was given little emotional support and plenty of monetary gifts etc to compensate for absent parents. I was simply not that important and if a check could be written, it was. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16499015 Same reason I'd never had kids in such a world. They wouldn't deserve it. There are a lot of happy married couples with no kids; some of them (including me) have weighed in in this thread. It is a real possibility. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27881645 United States 12/07/2012 10:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember the time period I made the decision to remain childless... It was in my 2nd grade class, 1962, Miss Reins was the teacher and the lesson was an air-raid drill because Russia had the 'bomb' in Cuba. I was huddled under my desk when the notion struck, I remember it as if it were yesterday. |

There are a lot of happy married couples with no kids; some of them (including me) have weighed in in this thread. It is a real possibility. I really have never been happier and now that my husband and I are in the prime earning years of our life, we truly enjoy traveling and having the time and resources to enjoy every opportunity to travel or just do something fun on the weekends. I know some people love the kid's schedule of soccer games and such, but we are just like 22 year old newlyweds and still in awe of all the world has to offer. While everyone else with kids is worrying about college, etc., we are looking at maps and mountains and planning our next trip. Its not for everyone, I am lucky I married someone who felt the same way about kids, as that is something many couples fail to discuss before they get married, they just assume that having 3.5 kids is no big deal.... kids are a very big deal and deserve the best parents can give them. I had nothing to give. |

Debauchery User ID: 15455863 United States 12/07/2012 10:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Divorced with 2 kids. Single now and don't imagine I will ever remarry. I'm a solitary person, marriage didn't really suit me the first time around. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |

Started late, made sure I could afford a wife and kids. Did the dog and cat thing, too. I love animals, but in no way are they like your children. Totally different. My 2 cents. |

Never dated anyone who could/would support me and child(ren). Would rather not hand my child over to someone else to raise while I go to work to pay others to raise my children. Not selfish... in my case. |
