I have one child, but there are women in the world who prefer not to do any childbearing. Do you know anyone like this? Are you childless? Some reasons are medical, spiritual, education, or just not into kids, or just plain fearful to have a child.

I'm childless currently for many reasons. I've been married 10 years, and have only recently started dealing with many emotional issues from my own childhood. In the 10 years my husband and I have been together, we've also had a lot of financial hardships, and I've had to be a part-time caretaker for my grandparents as they have aged, as well as managing the toxic family situation that is still lingering from childhood.
Nowadays, I've also come to the conclusion that I'm too selfish to have children, but I think that's more self-awareness than an actual roadblock.
I honestly thought I would be done having children by this stage of my life. And now that I'm almost 33, and haven't even started, it's getting intimidating. I know too much about the process of childbirth, and too much about how pregnancy gets more difficult as you get into my age range. So... I don't know what will happen at this point. I'm still debating if I will regret NOT having kids.

Yes I am childless by choice. I knew from a young age I never wanted children. I never had any desire whatsoever.
-
I am childless by my own choice. I work with children by professional but could not have my own.
-
I am not childless - although I know many women who have made the choice to never have children. Everyone has there own reason. Some are saddened by never being able to carry a child while others are completely okay with it and figure if they ever wanted children they could adopt. Some don't like kids. Some aren't interested in having children because of the cost. Some don't want to bring children in to the world the way it is. Some are happy with there being pet Mama's. I always wanted to have a family - I wanted to be a Mommy and have been blessed 4x's. 3 surviving. 2 already adults. #Proud Mama

Some people prefer the term "child-free" rather than "childless."
-
We're all individuals,no woman needs to justify to another her desire to have or not have a child .Imagine though how the mothers of the Parkland victims feel to have had lost their children and now that's becoming a norm. from human violence-illness-vehicle accidents...Devastating !!!!!
-
I am glad my wife likes having children or we would not have the 6 we have (and 13 grandkids), but I do have one son who has none (probably because he is 53 and single).

If a woman does not have children you actually have NO idea why she doesn't. It is her choice and no one else's. She doesn't have to explain to anyone.

We have 3 daughters and I gave birth to 2 of them and I wouldn't change that for the world. I grew up in the age of all women wanting and feeling the need to be a mother. Nowadays that's probably not the norm and that's ok if that works for them.
-
I would have been devastated if I could not have had children. I always wanted to have children for as long as I remember. My children are not perfect, but I wouldn't trade them for anything else in the world.
I only have one friend who is childless. She started out with one bad marriage and never tried duplicating it. I believe she is happy with her lot. She's never complained.
I think if you want children, you should go ahead and have them. If you worried about all the complications involved, you'd always chicken out. :turkey: (yeah, I know he's a turkey, but he's substituting for me).

I have talked to some of these women who prefer not to have children.
Here are some of the reasons:
-I do not want children.
-They are expensive.
-I do not want them to suffer: Pollution and crime in this world.
-I do not want to take that responsibility.
-They would take too much time and space.
And may other reasons.
-
I have no kids, because I went threw my change of life at a very young age. At 33 - very easy and fast, didn't go threw any of the stuff some people suffer with it. I have a dog that thinks she a kid and i treat her like a kid. had to share this picture of my idea of heaven.

a pet can be expensive,clothing... whole world filled with things that are expensive. The world will return to being Eden if all humans are gone though. God's son suffered but you don't want your kids to break a sweat ? It's all about the right ppl on Earth doing what's right.

That is definitely understandable. The puppies are very adorable!! :dog: :dog:

:fish: :moon: :fish: A lot of woman in this world that don't give birth. Some reason's could be emotional for some woman. While others just don't want them. :fish: :moon: :fish:
-
I have a couple friends who have no kids for one reason or other and a very happy.
-
I've never wanted kids, for no particular reason. I've just never had the motherly instinct, I guess. Plenty of people have told me how much I'm missing out, how I'll change my mind as I get older, etc. But I'm 40 now and I'm just fine without them, no regrets. Although I do have adult step-kids. I love them and they are my family, but I don't consider them MY kids.

There's nothing wrong with that, I agree. :)

It's an interesting question with many reasons associated with it, just as the reasons for having children are numerous too. I've chosen not to have children at this juncture because I want to focus on my career and like to have a flexible schedule. I think there used to be more stigma associated with the idea of not having children, but more and more people seem to see it as a perfectly good alternative, which pleases me greatly.

I have a friend who never found the right one to settle down with She is now 47 and has given up completely on marriage and children. :(
-
i have 2 male friends that have decided not to have kids. they are both in commeted relationships and feel as though bringing kids in to the world woud not be fair to teh children.
-
I love children and like playing with them and having them around but, I knew very early on children were not something I wanted personally. This was my life choice. :female: :female: :female: :female:

I understand. Parenting is not for everyone. :) :rose:

If it is the will of God then children will be in the midst.

Women aren't incubators. None of us are obligated to have children, just because we're women.
-
I am 15 weeks pregnant with my first. My husband is almost 35 and I am 29. We had been trying for awhile with no luck so I always thought in the back of my mind that I may not be able to have kids. Feel very blessed.

Congratulations to your pregnancy! God bless you and your husband

I'm childless, but I'm also not in a relationship, so that's most of the reason for it. Until I actually find someone, I don't really feel like I need to have a child.

Yeah sometimes that happens when you're trying to do things the appropriate way instead of having a child out of wedlock. It's life
-
I might be too squeamish to actually have a baby. I wish adoption was more affordable.
-
I have grown children and am so blessed and I think if you do not want children that's your decision and best that you don't have them because you would not be very good parents
-
I am married for 8 years but no child, not by choice. Married late so it so hard to conceive if you are late 40' . Praying still, GOD have a reasons for everything.

Hey.:-) Anything is possible. Women have children in their 40s but it's up to the individual. Have a great evening!
-
I am grateful for my two daughters and two granddaughters. I pray for those that would like to have a child but cannot for whatever reason. I pray for those that have a child or children they did not intend to have and for the children that are suffering as a result.
-
I have two children. However i know some women who have just one. I also know a woman who has just one and said she will never have a second child. Claims she had no idea her life would change so much. She is not happy now. So sad.
-
When I was a kid, I thought I'd be married with children. As an adult I can barely take care of myself & my cats! I'm widowed & set in my ways! I'm happy having nieces & hope they can pass on my crappy gene pool through them!

Hello! :D :)
Well in my case I want children but just am not in a relationship didn't find the right guy to have the baby with. I would love to have 3 of my own and raise them right with all the love in my heart. Hopefully I get the chance to be a mother. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

I agree

I'm child-less by my own choice and that's nobody's business. :)
-
Men who have never had children and why? ::) ???
Do you know?
-
I am childless because of medical reasons, while I was never able to have biological children I do have two Goddaughters whom I adore and because I am a retired educator I feel like over the course of my career I had many children who I mentored and help to become productive adults.
-
My youngest daughter just turned 38. She is happily married and has a good job. She and her husband have no interest in having children. They both like their lives just as is. They come and go when and how they want and like the freedom. I admire that they have made the decision because they know themselves well enough to know that a child is not for them and what they want from life. It is a proactive decision; many of us have at least one child because it just "happened."
-
I know at lease 2 and they would have liked having children.
-
I have several married family members who do not want children. Other people call them selfish and say they are making a terrible mistake, etc. but I don't think any of those things. I feel nobody should have children they don't want because it isn't at all fair to the children. Plus my childless family members all dote on those kids we do have in the family. I am quite sure they will be leaving their money to these children when they die and that they ultimately be very great assets to these children.
-
yes i knpw a few women without children and thats ok with me....
-
There are a lot of people in this world who do not have children. My Sister is the only one in my family who decided she did not want children.
-
Having children: It is a very personal decision!
-
When I was younger, I was adamant about not having children. But as I got older (and the fact that my current boyfriend has a young child, and we've talked about having children of our own), my desire to have children has emerged.
