[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be honest OP: you're really 33 and have another decade of fertility, and you're likely going to have children.

I wish the media/socials would stop overusing the word DINKs and limit it to the people who are truly DINKs for life. ie, they're 55 years old, or both partners have had tubal ligation/hysterectomy/vasectomy.

(yes, I know families can be formed in many ways and vasectomy can be reverse. but at least this is a tangible sign you're deeply committed rather than an attention seeking Gen Z)[/quote]

I do know some people who decided around 33 not to have kids and really didn't have them.

However at least one if the people I know who made this decision deeply regrets it.

So: life is hard. All choices imply both a gain and a loss. No one can truly have everything because some things cannot be had at the same time (i.e. maximum liberty and the deep sense if purpose that comes from dedicating your life to someone or something else). You do your best and hope for the best.[/quote]
