[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been with my boyfriend for nearly 38 years.  We don't regret at all never having kids.  Yuck. [/quote]

People who don't have kids who say they don't regret not having kids are like virgins who say they don't regret never having had sex. It may be true, but it's more likely that you simply don't know what you're missing. [/quote]
Couldn't you the same oppositely? Parents don't know what it's like to have a quiet peaceful childfree home at 35 if they have children. Parents don't know the freedom and etcetcetc. Of course you "don't know what you're missing", that applies to literally everything.

Instead of pitting people against each other, accepting that different people want different things would greatly benefit all sides. [/quote]

But most people did experience a "quiet peaceful childfree home," especially in this area where many had their kids at 35+.[/quote]

Was just about to reply the same thing. I know several women who got married at 39 and had first babies at 40+. So they know all about that lifestyle. [/quote]
Ok, I think you are missing the point. If you had your baby at 40, you won't know what its like to have a peaceful home at 41.

Being obtuse for the point of being obtuse is not a good quality. [/quote]
