I’m in my early 30s and I do not want kids. I like the idea of them, but I know I wouldn’t, realistically, be the kind of mom a kid would deserve.
The problem is that I’m going through that age where baby fever is intense. My body wants me to have kids. Now, I have this heavy fear that I’m making a mistake by not having them.
Can people with kids tell me if you regret having them? Or - if you could do it all over again - you wouldn’t have had kids?
I’m also wondering if there’s anyone in their 40s or older who didn’t want kids, but regret not having them. Or anyone in their 40s or older that are glad they don’t have kids.
Anything insight would be helpful!
