Anonymous Coward User ID: 85097409 United States 03/18/2023 07:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A lot of people choose to not have kids. It used to be that families stayed together. When I was growing up aunt's, uncles and other relatives were always at our house. The kids stayed close with each other and with our parents. Around the late 80's this all changed. Family became more of a throwaway thing. Most people today don't even communicate with their siblings, so very rarely do. Kid's do seem to grow up and move on with their lives without caring about who raised them. My two kids stay in contact, but one lives pretty far away and the other is married and works long hours. We do spend holiday's together... At least I raised two great kids who thrive in life. The way the world is now, it's sort of pushes for families separating. Friends are hard to come by as well. It's sad but it's life. However, I am more than thankful for having the opportunity to raise great kids. |

I miss them and realize, they’re the greatest experience I’ll ever have. By far. Oldest turned 18. Still got a young one. Love being Mom Is it weird in here, or is it just me? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75657509 Woman 53 no kids, not really any regrets. In all honesty you get to live a LOT more life without them if you use it wisely, don't sit around moping. But do try to find some child free friends so you are not bored rotten with the entire life built around their breeding skills for the rest of your life, lol. Sp boring hearing nothing but how their life revolves around children from 10 - 50 years old |

Best decision ever made. Don't regret it a bit, I'm childfree and love it. Free to do whatever the hell I want and when my time comes i'll go the same way I arrived, alone and naked. |

I should have just dated them... not married them. It is expensive to marry men when you own your own business. And, you are now obligated to help their grown children financially. Not fun. |

I don't have trouble with women, I have just never met one that I thought was worthy of marriage or that I could see being the mother of the children. I do want both but not with the wrong woman just to do it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84703781 United States 03/18/2023 08:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have raised three daughters and just turned 50. I think I have been a great Father to them, always there for them, showing them love and attention. I have provided for everything they ever needed. I addition I tried to show them how to be a good person and to contribute to this world in a positive way. I can honestly say that how your kids treat you have a lot to with their personality. I have one Daughter that got the car that I helped provide and took off. She never calls or returns calls or really cares. She is into the me, myself, and I social media culture. I never let my kids get into social media when they lived with me. I could se how fake and wrong most of the social media shit is. She also seems to play the victim role for some reason, causing drama for no reason. It is strand and have never understood why she does this. The other two Daughters are very loving and caring people. They will always be there and show a lot of empathy for people in general. I have often thought about why one is so different the others. I have treated them all the same but yet one is so different. The only thing I can come up with is some people are just born assholes and there is nothing you can do about it. |
