[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had that thought many times, but as I age, I realize I did the right thing having children.  Nothing worse than to age without children and grandchildren.  I watched my aunt got through this.  After her husband died, she was alone and without me, she would have had nobody.[/quote]

Really? I can think of a few things off the top of my head. Cancer, poverty, depression to name a few. [/quote]
 
Well, perhaps true, but I still think a life with no kids as an elderly person sucks.   I watched someone go through it in an assisted living setting.  I could tell she had regrets whenever she listened to others talk about their kids/grandkids.  It is an empty life in my opinion.  She didn't have kids mainly because her husband didn't want them.

This is sad if she wanted kids but was mis-matched with a partner who did not.  I can see how that would lead to one's life feeling empty.  People who don't want kids, though, will not necessarily feel sad when they are old.  That 's a whole different set of people.  I always wanted kids and went to extreme lengths to have them.  To OP's question, I have never once regretted it.  However, it's not for everyone.[/quote]
