[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thread got me thinking. I have a couple friend who are successful, financially stable, and in a good healthy marriage. They don’t want kids. The rest of our group does, and we always assumed they would have kids, but they are happy without them. [i]When asked, they [b]always[/b] list reasons why they don’t want kids or simply they just didn’t want them[/i]. They can easily afford kids and childcare. It seems very unnatural to me as a woman to not want kids. I went back and forth for a little bit and it felt weird picturing my life without kids. I wonder if she is truly happy. I worry they will get bored and have no one else to love. Anyone else have childless friends like this? [/quote]

When asked, they "always" provide good reasons? How often are you dogging them with your incessant pressure and questions that there's an "always" response? Seriously, OP, I guarantee they just want to be left alone with their money and free time at this point. And stop worrying about them. Do you think [i]they [/i]worry if [i]you [/i]are "truly" happy with your kids, or that you'll get "bored" because your life revolves around your kids rather than your own passions?

Sheesh, I have kids and I love them, but I can certainly understand the charms of choosing childfree. (Heck, I probably understand it even better than childfree people!)[/quote]
