Do you actually know any single and childless women over 40? Because I do, and they're doing fine.[/quote]

+1 I am in my late 60's and regularly attend clubs and exercise activities with retired seniors. The ones without children are doing great. Why? Because they are out and keeping themselves busy just like they always did. Several head up civic organizations (think VFW . . . women veterans for example are running those places). In fact they are the most extroverted people in the groups! Don't worry about them. Many have nieces, nephews and so on. Those people have a big role to play in families.

Also someone on here said that being a mom is "the most important job". Well, what about the teachers, nurses, doctors who nurture all of us? Aren't those important jobs in society???

Last thing is that I am a mom. I relate to the people talking about the slog of staying at home. I would have gone out of my mind if I hadn't gotten a job. Some jobs are just way more interesting than raising a kid. Sorry, but it was true for me. I needed to be out with adults for my own mental health.

Having children is not for everyone. Man or woman. [/quote]
