Life without kids??

I have 1 and I wouldn't swap it for the world. For me the important thing is not letting it totally rule your life. Me and my wife still have plenty of nights out, holidays, I have my season ticket etc, weekends away, I just don't do it like I did before kids. The first year I'd say is really tough, but he is 5 now and I know it sounds very cliche, but he really is like my best mate. He's into footy, like city, cars, playing out etc, just what I dreamt he'd be like.

Everyone is different, but the good outweighs any bad by a country mile for me. I was scared shitless before hand, but never regretted it once he was born.
 
I'm 36 and don't want children. I've become used to being independent and am so one track minded now that I'd make a terrible dad. I also don't want the responsibility. I've had my nephew on various occasions like when he was about 7 or 10 and couldn't wait to hand him back. He was knackering because he's full of energy and talks non stop. I'm unsure if I could take on someone elses children but I wouldn't expect to come first in the mum's life. She'd be the parent and not me. I had a friend who was forced out of the family by a bullying stepdad who drove a wedge between him and the mum. He's since disowned her.

I am single at the moment and wouldn't get in to a relationship without a clear agreement about children. I'm not having any.
 
I have a nephew who is adamant that he doesn't want kids. He recently split up with his long term partner because she wanted them and he didn't. He thought it kinder on her to split now and let her find someone who does want them.
 
We both work in education and are with kids all day. Neither of us wants kids of our own. I can't wait to get old in peace and quiet.
 
If they are shit ones can i give em back for a better one? I know they used to chuck shit kids in the river but i don't think that is allowed now.
