Poll: Do you think childless people regret not having children later in life?

[AbrahamFreedom]

The wrong people have children while the ones who should be having children are not.

Sad.

"We are not designed to be complete recluses. Those who babble on about "loving" their own company all the time are mentally unwell, in my humble opinion. Not enough DHA, EPA, Vitamin D, saturated fats and other micronutrients getting to the brain alongside coping via internet addiction or book reading as surrogates for socializing. I know because I was once basically like these people and thought I was an "introvert", lol."



Women are better than men than this but a lot of childless women are pretty happy since they tend to prioritize creating an active social life. Especially the educated and career minded ones. A lot of these women are childfree and don't regret their decision either.

In college one of my mentors was a 35 year old childree madow nigga. During that time period his life seemed pretty dope. he maintained an active social life by making friends with a lot of other childfree/childless folk(living in a big city makes this easier). He would go out every week and would spend his time after work doing whatever he wanted.

He got married 2 years ago to another childfree woman and he looks even more happier. His wife makes good money too. They definitely have a combined household income that's close to 300k. He makes around 150k a year and his wife is an PA.

@NordicSomali @Lahaine none of the 40+ year old childree men and women I meet seem to regret their decision. They all seem pretty happy and financially stable to me.

You don’t regret not having children at 40, you regret it when you’re 60, getting abused by a illiterate kenyan nurse in the back of a rundown nursing home

The only 60 years olds in nursing homes are the ones with chronic conditions. Majority of our nursing home, assisted living, and retirement home residents are 75+.

Also a large majority of the lonely people stuck in these homes have kids. Their kids don't care about them since they were shitty parents. old men in particular seem to even be more lonelier. Being a shitty father ain't worth it in the long run.

Only involuntary single people would say they don't want kids as a way to cope.

I say No cuz why would u miss something u never had. Only people who tried hard to have kids and never got them are the ones feeling sad when theyre old. The ones who never wanted kids wont change their mind at 50.
