[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids (still teens) say they don't want kids. Obviously a lot could change but I don't feel sad about it. We give up a lot to be parents and I can't fault anyone who makes a different choice. My sister and several close friends opted not to have kids and have rich lives.

For those who miss holding babies, remember that this is a relatively short (a year or less) period! How about offering to help out new moms by holding their babies for an hour or two so they can take a shower, go the gym, meet a friend, etc? You could do this through a church or synagogue or a neighborhood group like NextDoor. I did that during the shutdown for a friend who had kids later in life. I would go over and hold the babies for a bit to allow her to do whatever she needed to get done - shower, laundry, a quick walk outside, whatever. I loved it and she was very appreciative![/quote]

Some people in my synogogue did this for me and it was so appreciated!!!  (I never left the house - but the chance to shower and pump and eat real food was appreciated.) [/quote]
