This came up rather recently didn't it?
I've skimmed through this thread and there's quote a few, understandably I suppose, getting a bit irate due to others telling them they're missing out by not having kids.
There are certainly more couples going without kids, due to choice, inability to have any from trying to late and cost being the other big factor.
However, regardless of what some say, a huge amount of women tend to become more maternal as the clock ticks so don't be surprised if it happens to you.
My wife and I are both 37 and I could list of endless amounts of couples that are using IVF or married for the convenience of having a family (which is usually the wife's decision).
As for me, I never wanted kids and was glad I had my 20's to booze it up, travel a bit and be as carefree as my cash allowed. My wife got her own way into our 30's but I've loved being a father, regardless of how fucking hard it is sometimes!
I'm now working in a different city to my two kids, 4 & 2, and it's very hard coping without them.
I couldn't love them anymore, it's a deeper emotion than you feel for anything else in your life. I don't care if that statement offends anyone, the bond with your children, if your any type of man, is your deepest and most important.
Hi Paul,
That is sweet and tbh i don't mind when people say "kids will be good for you etc" they may be right but unless they have had a good look in my head they would say that hehe. Nah it does not bother me at all as i see it as a spill over of their own love for their kids which is good to see.
It sounds sad but i would die for my dog it must be a similar thing, nothing is above him in my life, not even close...ok his daughter i love deeply but he is my best friend and i love him like i assume i would a son, i can't imagine my life without him next to me.
Problem is he has dumped me for stony, he fucking loves stony, **** :-D
This, this and thrice this. Three-year-old twins are manic.
know your pain mate(in the nicest possible way) mine are 8 now and its still the same

I've been adamant since my late teenage years that I won't have kids. It's cost me some relationships because of my determination not to have them.
I'm currently 37 and still have absolutely no desire to have them, and thankfully I'm in a great relationship with a woman who is football mad and doesn't want to have them either.
We couldn't think of anything worse really. We love our lives and no way would children enhance it or fulfill it. Just a big massive "no thanks" from us.

Our daughter will be born tomorrow.
We got giddy whilst in Istanbul and it was a surprise but we are really looking forward to the madness that's about to ensue. At 41 and 43 we've left it late but fingers crossed, all will be well. I

Just seen my post on here from 2016 and I'm happy to report that nothing has changed. Still in the same childless relationship now in our 40s, over 10 years together, with no desire to marry either. We're absolutely fine just the way we are.
We do have a cat though.
