[quote=Anonymous]I’m childless, not child free, and come from a large family where everyone marries and has kids, or at least wanted to. Yet I find your question a bit odd. As an adult (I’m now in my late 40s), I’ve known at least as many people who chose not to take the married with children route as those who did. Generally it’s been due to their career paths. My friends who are diplomats, doctors working with MSF, professional musicians, writers, never really even considered it. Some of my more settled peers adopted special needs children or older children. (I myself am considering adopting a teenager). I know very few couples who are even married. And in my parents’ circle, everyone has been married for 50 plus years. I guess I just don’t know many people who live conventional lives, in the traditional sense. [/quote]
