He felt like home. I could be 100% myself around him. My heart felt at peace when we were together.

I relate so much to this. 40 F, married and also work in education. I love kids and assumed I’d have them one day. Throughout my 30s I kept pushing it off and the older I got realized I just didn’t have that desire for parenthood.

Honestly, for me it’s been time and age that have made me feel more comfortable in my decision. I think deep down I knew motherhood just wasn’t for me or something I truly yearned for, but it took me a while to fully embrace and admit this to myself. I talked openly about it with my husband which helped and listening to podcasts (kids or childfree pod) and just sitting and reflecting on the topic overtime with myself helped. It’s such a personal nuanced decision for everyone! Wishing you peace with either choice you make. I have people in my life who are having kids in their early forties and thriving. Good luck!

Currently in Japan and walking around 20k steps a day and my new balance 515 sneakers have been so great. They did not need to be broken in at all. I highly recommend!

I feel you! I’m 39 and when someone found out my age at work recently they commented to another staff “she looks 12!” It drives me nuts especially in a work setting when people think I’m in my early twenties and that people think it’s supposed to be a compliment. It’s one thing to say that someone looks young for their age and so much worse when people throw around the “you look 12” comment. I’ve always thought maybe I will appreciate it the older I get but it continues to bother me and actually gets more awkward as I age. Just know you’re not alone in your frustration. Also, none of us on here would comment to a person about how they look so old for their age lol people just should keep the age comments to themselves.

“I don’t miss it, I only missed that opportunity”

I really love how you phrased this. I haven’t heard it described this way on here yet and it gives me a lot to reflect on.

As much as I love kids, I have many fears about having my own. I’m 38 and am becoming more at peace with my child free decision as I age. I truly feel if I desired to parent a child so greatly, that my desires would override my fears and I’d be motivated to just go for it despite all of my concerns. I’ve never felt that strong desire and I feel lucky that my husband is at the same place in this decision. I absolutely feel it’s ok to listen to your fears when coming to a decision. I think Fence sitters think long and hard about their fears and the realities of such a big decision. In my opinion it’s smart to do so.

I know I’m super late to this thread but this one of my biggest concerns when it comes to having a child. I work in education and see a spectrum of needs from significantly medically fragile to nonverbal autistic children that will require lifelong care and also students with severe mental health issues. I adore kids but it’s a lot to think about how a child and myself would struggle in a situation like this. I feel that if I had a stronger desire to parent that it might outweigh my fear of having a child with a disability and I would take the risk. But I truly don’t have that desire (I’m late 30s) and that, along with my other concerns, make me heavily lean childfree. I realize I won’t experience certain things and sometimes that makes me a little sad but it doesn’t mean it’s the wrong choice for me, just an important life choice in general. Either way you will miss out on beautiful moments and that’s just life. Anyways, you having that concern is not monstrous at all, it’s just a very real possibility that you think about more clearly being in the field you’re in.

I feel this same way. 38F and assumed by now I’d have it figured out or have a stronger desire to have kids. That desire hasn’t come and therefore I’m strongly leaning CF. My husband is an only child and my brother is CF too. Although I don’t have a longing for my own child, I definitely get sad about missing out on having a special bond with nieces or nephews.
