My relatives and most people that I know regardless of their status love having their own children WHILE I DON'T. I'm supposed to be one of the most ideal persons to become a parent as they said having all the "good ingredients" and "good genes" that it takes and yet I DON'T WANT IT.

I don't want it because I know girls can be sexually abused even by their own relatives. Also I don't want it because if things don't work out and I become a single parent I don't want to be asking anything from the father of my child. And honestly not having my own child does NOT pose a problem to me because if others' common fear is to die alone without children looking after them, I am all set to die alone with HP on my side. And I love children and people of all races so I treat others like my very own. I can also serve in street children ministry and the likes.

Does anyone here can relate?

What's your thoughts on this? Any feedback, sharing is welcome.

Cheers Requin and Luv, you are awesome ladies. That's what I love in this forum, there will always be someone who can relate. Yaayy. Thanks for sharing. :-)

I'm the only single around in most places I found myself in. Almost all of my relatives and colleagues, even the youngest ones have children. And they think it's A MUST to have my own family or else I'm missing out on something. They also say I'm too attractive not to have my own children. Sometimes I spent hours explaining why I'm single and happy on my own. But sometimes just to avoid any further discussion I would say yes I have. Lol However in our church, I belong to a single group and my friends from there and I are close for more than a decade already.

My mom had children but she passed away all alone by herself. It's not uncommon to die alone with or without children.

Im dont have children either, and im 51, i said if i did not have them by 30, i would not have any. I just did not want that responsiblity. And i also dont worry about when iam older, because im sure i will have a group of old lady friends then, and we will be able to look out for one another.
I live my life and i dont keep up with what everyone else think is "normal".
I just live one day at a time, and dont worry about it. Freedom, freedom, freedom....lol

One day at a time :-) :-). . .We can do together, what we could never do alone. :-) And a problem shared, is a problem cut in half. :-) :-)

Hi Spirit--the choice to have a child is so very personal. I think many women chose to have a child because of family, religous and cultural dictations and beliefs. They feel this is what I'm ''supposed to do''.. It's NOT a woman's duty in life to have children. Period.
