[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you child free and over 50? [b]Start with your experience.[/b]

My sibling and spouse are probably giving up their dream of having kids after a few years of infertility. Would be nice to hear of others' experiences - growing older without kids and where they may be in 10+ years.[/quote]

OP here: turning 40 next year, DH is 41. Fairly confident we'll remain childfree although I've entertained the thought of fostering if/when we reach our financial goals. We have a hard time meeting childfree folks in the area. It seems like any and all friends we make seem to eventually decide to "start a family" (as if husband and wife are not family), and get sucked into the parenting world of breastfeeding, kids' birthday parties, activities, and all the things associated with raising children. Neither DH nor I have any interest in that lifestyle and have actively decided to do the complete opposite. . . we throw ourselves into our careers and hobbies such as working out, running races, learning to cook, different languages, and travel to the extent we can afford it.

If you're CF, where do you meet other CF friends?
