I don't have any regrets about not having kids. I've just never had those maternal feelings. I am a nurturer by nature, but I nurture adults: my friends, the people I work with. I don't want to nurture children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have no regrets about not having children. I still wait for the pang of guilt, but I have none. I tune into the television show 'Nanny 911' occasionally which reminds me how much patience and love it take to be a good parent.
I don't have any regrets about not having had children. What's the point? It's just something else to beat yourself up over.
I've never regretted not having children. My mindset in that regard has been constant. I objected to being born, and I refuse to impose life on someone else.
I wasn't mentally prepared to take care of them, I was focused on my career. And then when I got to be in my 40s and I thought about having kids, I wasn't able to have kids naturally. I don't regret it.
The great regret of my life is that I didn't have children.
I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.
And you know when I was growing up, I knew I wanted to have kids, but I knew I didn't want to do it alone. Then once I was 41, 42, I had to accept that I probably wouldn't have kids unless I decided to adopt later on, but even then it would be with a partner.
When I have a child, it will be probably become my whole life, so I don't want to have any regrets that I should have done more.
Sometimes I regret waiting so long to have a child, but I don't make the rules. The universe decided it was going to take me a while to get to be a mom!
It's not something that's at the forefront of my mind, but I think I'd regret it if I didn't have children.
