But my answer is no.  I am 62 with no kids, and although [b]I am a preschool teacher[/b], I have always known that children were not the right choice for me.

I would love grandchildren, however!  [/quote]

I find it interesting you're a preschool teacher who doesn't want kids.  I would rather die before being a teacher.  I dislike being around others' children.  However, I adore my own!!   I would think if you don't want your own you wouldn't want to be around children in general. [/quote]

That is a stupid assumption to make. I am 32 and childless but am a nanny. I enjoy working with children but have no desire to be a mom. You can't compare working with kids to having your own. It isn't rare either, I know a lot of childless women who work with children.  We aren't all children haters as we don't want our own either.[/quote]

Agree that it's a stupid assumption as well. One of my colleagues does not want kids but she is a prosecutor specializing in child sexual abuse. She is the biggest champion of children I can imagine. She is wonderful with them--the most damaged and scared children out there. She loves her job and is incredible at it. [/quote]
