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]

My child has had 6 teachers so far. All are women of reasonable child-bearing age. 
1 - 60s. Childless (seemingly by choice). VERY close to sister and sister's children. Has de-facto parent/child relationships. 
2 - 40s. Childless, unmarried. Not sure why. Seems happy. 
3 - Mid-30s. Not married. Almost definitely does want a partner and children.  
4 - Mid-30s. Not married. I think she is a lesbian? Maybe in a partnership? Not sure if she wants kids. 
5 - Early 30s. 3 kids. 
6 - Mid 30s. Baby.

Lots of teachers do not have children. I know a few who say they love their kiddos at work and want to go home and be alone![/quote]
