Half of British women reach age 30 without having a child

It is right.

Women have to choose.

Men get to be titans and fathers.

That is the problem.

Bull shite. What sexist crap. Women can do many things that are far more important you rwnj pig.

Nobody will remember your emails, spreadsheets and PowerPoints — or some over-involved generous childless aunt. Future generations remember moms, dads, grandma and grandpas. Just being honest.

No one cares about how many brunches you went to

No. They will remember the person, who saved their baby's life though.

Okay, I'm a mother of 4. But most people working are not just doing spreadsheets and PowerPoints. They are paying for a living and spending time with friends, dating, hobbies, traveling. Just because they work doesn't mean they aren't living life.

My husband was 30 and also the first or second of his friend group to have kids. It didn’t affect me as I have friends of many ages and I was ready to be a parent, but I’ve gotten many comments on my age and how young I was when I became a mom. Only when I had my third (and last) at age 31 was I considered by others to be the “right” age for having a kid.
Many of my friends from growing up had children about 5-10 years after I did. Some are still childless (though most are married or in committed relationships).

I could have sworn I wrote this but the ages are slightly off (I was younger, just turned 25). I'm now 15 years out and had my last. Most of my friends had kids in their young 30s so I'm both the youngest and oldest in my friend group from college but I have 2 friends that banked embryos and had their last in their mid 40s.

Observation from me - very few women that weren't married in their 20s or 30s have ever gotten married. Many men didn't start having kids until their 40s. Absolutely wild to me.

Meh.

I know two men whose mothers ran out on the family. Like: literally ran off and refused contact, leaving the fathers alone with the kids to do everything.

It was hard but men manage. It happens to both genders.

My aunt died last year and thr flippant comment that no one is going to remember a childless aunt is unbelievably incorrect and shows a very deep bitterness.

My aunt was a special Ed teacher and she had students from decades ago at her funeral. She was basically a bonus grandmother to my son.

Meanwhile I have an aunt with kids whose own children struggle to go see her because she's so hard to deal with. I seriously doubt the church will be packed at her funeral like my other aunt's was.

So you have kids because you want to be remembered? Well that's dumb. You're dead, so what does it matter at that point, both the person who prioritized professional accomplishments and the SAHM are both dead and dead people don't have regrets or the warm and fuzzies just thinking about all the lives they've touched. Live your life how you want. You only get one.

One of my uncles was the most gregarious and charming man I’ve ever met. He ended up in senior care with Alzheimer’s for several years. Who came to visit him? His wife and kids once in a while and then hardly at all towards the end. None of the nieces nephews and everyone who found him incredibly charming made any effort at the end.

One of my aunts never had children. Who came to visit her at the end of her life? Her only sibling, my mother, once in a while.

Who is going to remember my aunt 10 or 20 years from now? My kids won’t. My grandkids aren’t going to look her up and dig into her life. She’s a dead-end.

Unless you’re some historic figure the only way you matter is if you leave behind heirs. Everything else you do is pretty pointless.

No. It’s a subconscious and instinctive thing for childless people to try and get over-involved and meddle in the affairs of those with kids because one, they yearn for their own and two, they’re trying to desperately prove their value to (the future of) the community. If you’re not helping perpetuate the species what value do you add?

You hate your life as a mom and wish you had chosen your sisters path.

My heart goes out to all these poor childless British women. It must be devastating.

Most of us are living pretty meaningless lives, all things considered. Having kids doesn't change that.

I doubt it. No intelligent person is going to bring children into this world at this point. Those who didn’t have kids must be breathing a sigh of relief.
