[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you have reached the age of 40 without kids you have made a default decision to not have them. In a few short years your friends from your generation will be empty nesters and will be more like colleagues than your kids. Regrets? I don't know. But you have been an adult for 22 years without them so far ...[/quote] Disagree with this. I made it well into my late 30s convinced I did not want to have kids because I had so many other things I wanted to do in life. Then I did almost all of them. The ones I hadn't yet done, I realized were things I wanted to do as a family or I no longer felt like I needed for fulfillment. Now at 40, trying to beat the clock and get pregnant - or at least find some way to become a parent. Most of my peers have toddlers or preschoolers. A lot of DC people don't start having kids until their 30s or 40s.[/quote]
