You really think so? Because there are so many opportunities and experiences available to you without children involved, and they don't disappear at some arbitrary age.

PMSL. I am 33 and entirely content with never being a parent. My disabilities limit some of what I can do, but I'm sure as hell not bored with life.

I'm headed to the World Science Fiction Convention (WorldCon) with my younger brother, next month, by rail & ferry (air is rather a nightmare, as a wheelchair user). In the meantime, & otherwise, I game; read (I have a personal library of >4,000 print books); write (poetry, fanfiction & original fiction); code & create websites & graphics for them; do embroidery & mending via hand sewing; draw & colour pictures; sing (choral & other kinds of music); transcribe lyrics & TV episode
scripts for a couple of sites I help with; volunteer as a regional representative for my Unitarian congregation; do my physiotherapy & occupational therapy tasks; am learning to quilt & crochet; and various other things, whenever I'm physically & mentally capable of them (& when I'm not, it usually means a lot of lying down and/or sleeping or spending time semi-conscious, or just trying to escape as much pain as I can).

What's so "boring" about most of that, for a childfree life? If I want to spend time with kids, goodness knows I have a number of step-niblings, not to mention all my friends' children. I simply prefer being able to hand the kids back at the end of the day, or when I'm too sick and/or tired to carry on spending time with them. I see nothing wrong in that.

Otherwise, adoption. Give already-existing kids a chance at a loving father and family.

I've spent the last 20 years defiantly refusing to ever have kids. It's one of the first conversations I ever had with my girlfriend when we started getting serious about our relationship (the other being my refusal to ever get married). Fortunately, she was of more or less the same mindset, so it wasn't a conflict for us.

In fact, if I remember correctly, I think her reaction was along the lines of "Oh god, I don't want a baby growing inside me like some kind of alien parasite that comes busting out after nine months", which was the point when I knew it was indeed True Love.

My said the same thing. We have a 2 year old running around. Goes great with the 15 year old from my 1st marriage and his mother said the same thing.

I knew I didn't want kids when I was 11 and I've never ever ever gotten even close to changing my mind.

Same here, though I was 12. (I used to babysit a lot. It's enough to put you off for life if you have any leanings that way!)

I couldn't carry a pregnancy to term even if I wanted to, between PCOS & hEDS, I'd be paralysed from the waist down if I did manage it. I'm already sufficiently disabled to need help with basic tasks for myself, not to mention MH issues, so I have no qualms in admitting I know I'd make a lousy parent. I get tired of people claiming I'll change my mind, though.

I get tired of people claiming I'll change my mind, though.


I have PCOS too. I also don't have periods unless I'm taking birth control and it's really likely that I don't even ovulate. Sometimes when people got rude while trying to convince me I'll change my mind, I brought that out to make them feel bad. You want me to want kids that I probably can't have, huh?

Even if I did want kids, I knew I was not mentally well enough to do so. Long before I ever got diagnosed with anything, long before most people who knew me would admit that I was unwell. Now that I've been diagnosed with severe bipolar and have been in the mental hospital because of it, I feel like... Yup, told you so.

And then of course there's the multiple sclerosis now. It would be ludicrous and moronic to try to raise any child the way I am.

Though I haven't had anyone try to convince me to have kids in a long time. It probably has to do with the fact that I'm 37, and even the baby crazy don't necessarily encourage having kids near or after 40. LOL.
