Anyone post 35 and childless
Discussion
Anyone on here post 35 with no kids? Anyone not want any? I am 46 and childless. Never been married and wouldn't have kids with just anyone. Although I did always want them. No friends in the same boat as me. Everyone has kids. So I have very little in common with people my own age. I do worry about the future though without anyone there when I am old and no chance of ever being a grandparent. How many on here are childless in my age bracket? Did you decide that u never wanted any or did it just not happen?

Yes definitely. Just think it's unlikely to now. In an ideal world I would have had all my children by now.
No 30-something ladies who you think are ok?If you want to meet people, go online. You can get a good idea after 3 or so emails that they aren't a freak and that both of you have similar things in mind, though only meeting in person will tell you if you get on or not.

I'm 39 next month. I always wanted to have at least one by age 35 with the idea that I'd be "only" about 53ish by the time said kid left school. Hasn't happened though. My OH is 12 years younger than me and has a career that's just starting to go well so of course while we both want kids I don't want that to have a negative effect on her achieving her career goals.
We've discussed it and we'll probably be giving it a go in 2018. I've coped with the change of plan mentally by just deciding to work to her timescale instead of mine - I look and feel younger than I am so that makes it a bit easier. Still jealous of those around me who have popped a couple out though!

Yes I can understand the jealousy. I think I am jealous of my friends and their families
Never say never us men can still do the business well into old age you would have to find a younger woman though.
Do you have brothers or sisters who have kids? You could become a very cool uncle buy them stuff take them for days out etc... the joys of having kids but you get to give them back.

41 and no kids. No desire either. Having seen what's happened to others when it goes tits up I don't think I'd ever trust someone enough to go down that road.
As for kids in old age, how many oldies are abandoned by their kids? There's no guarantee they'll be around. They'll have a lot on in their own lives.
