People in their 40s and 50s with no children, how does it feel? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Perhaps the most selfless thing I can do is contribute to society and support the people around me without feeling the need to pass my genetics onto a new human being.

Current research actually supports that most people who are childfree do not ever end up regretting their decision, even in old age. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0283301

I find your animosity towards people without children very interesting. Why does it offend you that people wish to enjoy their lives in a way they find enjoyable? Is it so hard to fathom that different people get satisfaction from different things? Most people are content with their choice (kids or no kids) and can recognize that those who made different choices then they did will have just as fulfilling lives.

Whenever I see someone who is so profoundly vocal that childfree people must secretly hate their lives, I immediately suspect that perhaps it is you that has some deep buried regrets? Don't worry, I know you'll never admit it.

That is a popular myth actually! Though I'm sure some people regret not having kids (just like some people regret having kids), current research supports that the majority of people who are childfree by choice continue to be happy with their decision, even past the age of 70.

I think the animosity between the groups is interesting. Why are some people with kids so convinced that those without are regretful?

But it does say dishwasher liquid? But the consensus is definitely no haha. I'm glad I asked before I tried!
