I'm 40 and never wanted children. I honestly barely even thought about, probably because I never had a serious relationship with a partner. I rarely get anyone asking me about it or making negative comments (maybe other than my mother 😝). It really doesn't bother me if someone asks me if I have children, but I can see how it could upset someone who really wanted kids but couldn't have them. If anyone asks me if I have kids I just say I'm a cat mum 😻 I think there just needs to be less judgement and assumptions around people who don't have children. We don't want people pitying us, or deciding that we're weird or horrible people etc... Its just one life choice like many choices we make in life such as whether we're married, what our job is, where we live etc.... People need to just let others live their life the way they want. I don't see why anyone would care whether I have children or not or make a big deal about it. Not having children just seems perfectly normal to me, I'm just living my life like anyone else. I don't consider it weird or negative in any way.
