Please can someone tell me something, are there any couples/ppl
in their 30's or 40's that dont have any children yet?
I dont mean to be biased or anything but I have found it really
difficult to meet people that do not have children. It seems
that when couples reach "certain age" they have a
desperate calling to breed.
If there is someone out there that is having the same problem
that I am, it would be good to make friends here.
Though we are not young anymore but we still want to
have fun and not sit around talking baby stuff.......
Ccffsg, I think you are under a lot of pressure from your
in-laws or husband or friends to have children (Guess)
However, you do not need to seek out like-minded people to
justify your reasons on why not to have children.
Sometimes people start having children because they are now
ready for it, be it financially, emotionally or perhaps they want
to try moving on to the next phase in life.
Some people want children but choose not to because they don't
have the means to provide, so they have them when they can.
Whatever your reasons are, ultimately it is a PERSONAL CHOICE
and should not bow to social norms and views.
As well, when you have children, you don't have to talk about
baby stuff to your friends or just talk about baby things. My
friends who have children leave their kids at home and we enjoy
ourselves outside and they only talk about baby stuff if we ask
them about their child.
Perhaps ask yourself the reason/s why you don't want to have a
child and if someone ask, you can either tell them the reasons or
politely tell them it's a personal choice and you appreciate that
they respect your choice.
