Why did you never have children? Medical reasons? Personal reasons? Does the idea not appeal to you? Do you and your spouse have a sexless marriage? I'm just curious as I couldn't imagine my marriage without kids!

This question was by no means a way to "gloat" or say "ha ha". I didn't even think of how it may affect all of you when I posted it. I was ONLY curious as to why some of you do not have children but are married or have been married for quite some time. That is all.

I get your question and i dont know what these other people are talking about. apparently some people in this world are easily offended. u clearly state you are just curious.

unfortunately i do not meet the criteria to answer this question, sorry. (not married with 1 child)
i would venture to say they have plenty of sex on birth ctrl or tubes tied and have plenty of time to pursue careers and interests especially travelling and art and can afford the finer things in life (yachts, mutliple real estate, frequent cruises)

Do you realize what this question seems like to most of us unable to have children looks like? "I have kids and you don't so haha" completely childish and rediculous thing to ask. I cannot have children the conventional way in any way and it's impossible for me to adopt one because i can't afford the legal fees and the court wont award me a child because my income isn't high enough. My Husband and I are very sad and have exhausted every avenue with the exception of buying a child!!
This question was very hurtful to read although i am at the very least glad your children have a loving mother, I don't appreciate your gloating and if you give me a thumbs down it is only because you dont deserve them.

I agree with Gem. Some people are way over sensitive and get offended way too easily.

I wonder the same thing. I am unable to answer the question honestly, I don't have children yet... It's too early in my life to start that.

I asked that question to a client of mine, why did she choose not to have children, she told me it just didn't appeal to her and her husband. They like to vacation and party and have forever freedom.

As for those unfortunate people out there unable to conceive, I've wondered why they don't adopt and give their love to a child who needs a family.

Personally I agree with you, I've been excited to have kids since I was a baby - although I am in no hurry!

I have 2 daughters that remain childless and they so wanted to be Mothers..I do not know their personal lives.
I do think since you do have children that this is a very selfish question and you should in all fairness delete it and its a painful question for childless couples to answer out of your curiosity.
Sorry to be blunt, I have 5 and I hurt for my daughters.~~~~Jill
