[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We wanted kids, tried all the things, nothing worked. That ship has sailed. It’ll always hurt. But we have good lives, and know it. Parenthood is such a life-defining and -changing experience. How do you see people who don’t have kids? Do you feel bad for them? Don’t really think about it? What advice would you give your childless self? Thank you. [/quote]

I feel bad if they wanted kids, tried and it didn't happen but that was almost our situation after many years of trying to adopt, and right when we were giving up it happened.

We have several childless friends.  They are wonderful to our child and more of an aunt/uncle that our child's real aunt/uncle.  We see them with our child and without (one of us will go out while the other is home with the kid).  If something happens to us we want one of the women friends to take our child vs. our friends with kids as we think they will be more loving/attentive and have a better connection.

I don't define people by if they have kids, how many kids, etc.[/quote]
