Yes! The reasons for no kids are valid and varied, IMHO. Honestly, some of the most clueless people I’ve known are parents. Birthing a new human means so much and so little. I’m 65 and husband is 72. Never pregnant and fine with that.
May you and your wife attain the situation you desire! And even if you don’t, I suspect you have the flexibility and vision to adapt with wisdom and grace.
I am also childless by choice. I saw that I would bring a spirit into this world who I believe would have to suffer and for that I decide against. As you write here as well, once you have a child the system does everything it can to force your hand
Thanks so much for this. I am also childless by choice; I never wanted children. My hat is off to people who become parents and do it well: it truly is the world's hardest job even if the kid is "easy" to raise.
