"You'll Regret It When You're 40" 

People say this as if that’s going to make pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood appealing to me!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Spoke to several people in their 60s who were childfree and none of them regret it.

I'm a 42 year old childfree woman, and every year I'm happier than the last, and that is because I do what I love to do in life, so for me every day is a gift. As I get older I have more knoledge about life, more experience, more money, more free time and of course more things to conquer. I discovered my pasion early in life, when I was 16 years old and since then each day is a beautiful and exciting challenge to become better and better. I have a really great life, zero regrets and I'm totaly sure I don't want a kid.

People need to be concerned with controlling themselves and not others.

I'm soon-to-be 40 years old and I'm unregretful about being single/unmarried and childfree both by choice. I like my freedom, money and sleep too much to consider changing all that.

I can't speak for any 40 year old woman other than my wife, but she has zero regrets about choosing to be childfree, and as a 47 year old man I certainly don't.

I'm turning 40 in August and as time goes on, I feel more grateful that I never became a mother.

😂 I'm 48 male single and nope I regret nothing beeing childfree, and I expect still be the same at 58 😊

Not 40 yet but no regrets! My life is my own and I cater to nobody else. I eat what I want, when I want, sleep however long I need and those in my life appreciate my company and what we bring into each other's life. I have too many health problems to risk passing them on and I know my temperment would be horrible if children were part of my life.

I am 47 and not an iota of regret yet, on the contrary, every day that passes strengthens my conviction that I did the right thing

I've been hearing that I would want kids since I was 15. My parents just recently admitted that they don't think I will change my mind and it was hilarious. It's been over 15 years.

Lol I'm 44, no regrets whatsoever. I actually thank my lucky stars every day that I didn't have kids, cause I see all my peers who are so miserable with them. My husband and I are also making more money than we ever have and we greatly enjoy using that disposable income to travel every chance we get.

I totally despise this society. Of course I don't give Capitalism a New victim!

I am a 45 years old guy and we still not regret it. Especially not my wife. Married since 2008. Together since 18 years... We love each other and no kid would improve it.... I just don't get this 40 years rule?? But I am the true proof that this is not true. Past 40 and Still happy with our choice.

I only regret not using sun protection more.

I know a whole lot of women who are / were 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and are regretting / regretted having children

2 years away from 40 and regret nothing. Kids are cool and all, just not for me.

Every time I watch your videos you are always teach me something new. I am almost 36 years old and I recently realized if did decide to have kids my own mental health would likely worsen over time. I am already dealing with off and on depression over the loss of my dog have a pet makes more sense these days.

I never wanted my own kids, but I am happy to be an aunt. Not alot of people talk about the role of aunts or uncles all that much as being important, but as a child I spent the majority of my early life with one of my aunts, since she was my caretaker while my mom worked. All four of my aunts were a big part of my life, actually. I never wanted kids of my own though, but I'm happy my brother did. I'm very close to his kids. It would have been ok either way, but he really wanted them and that was his path. The way I look at it is, in this life you have a certain path that is best suited for you, and you have to honor it. I always knew my path was not to have them, its just a strong feeling I had from early on.

Were‘s that regret at….👀🔎🔦 can‘t find it anywhere yet…

I will never be a single mother if I never have kids. 🤷‍♀️

I always wanted a child deeply in my childhood through my early to mid teens until I hit about 15-16 and actually began thinking about it and truly observed what that would mean for me, my lifestyle, my finances, my future (thought both with and without children and growing old) and came to the conclusion that I really didn't want children. Plus due to trauma I have an unhealthy fear of child birth anyway so if I even wanted children I would likely adopt. I'm 27 and never gave it a second thought ever again. I'm firm within my choice. I do hope to find love though. Some men in the past that I've associated with didn't really take my choice serious and were there for the ride until they realized I was serious or they took advantage of me in some way because I suppose to them a childfree woman is useless or maybe they thought child free also meant care free in all aspects. Either way it taught me that I need to find someone who truly and passionately doesn't want kids, where they have actually given it a lot of thought, and not someone who's so-so on the matter. I'm just thankful I have very supportive parents who didn't even give me a side eye. In fact, my mother was delighted and said "In this world currently I'm scared for the grand children I have, so more power to you."

Thank you so much! I am in my early 40s and I love being childfree. Your wisdom is very uplifting, especially for me coming from a pronatalist country

I am 43 single without kids and so happy!!! Never want kids I had travel, have good jobs and do my sports . 🙂🌹✨

48 next month and don’t regret it. In fact, happier every single year with my choice.

40. As if women had an expiring date. Disgustingly misogynystic.

Good morning 🌄🌄 thanks for sharing today...... From the gym spinning class and the sauna, 35 degrees sunny Ozarks 😂🎉

I'm turning 45 this year, child free and about to buy my own house. My life is the best it's ever been.

You are right to go to what makes you happy parenthood is not ffor everyone is made to be a parent love you're video's wishing you the best in life

I got 5 more months left to feel regret. Still happy with my choice.

Women have admitted to me that they regret having their last children and should have stopped sooner. Cheers to you and your clear perspective ! If you want to see a child free woman talk about hotels , I do it! ❤🎉

Honestly, I'm (34F) so glad I took advantage of sterilization being fully covered by the Affordable Care Act before changes might affect it in the future (I was holding off for years because I wasn't able to comfortably afford $2k+ in medical expenses). That, and bilateral salpingectomy is the new standard. My doctor was willing to do the procedure for me as far back as when I was in my mid 20s, so I was very fortunate. I ended up finding out recently that I have Hashimoto's, which can negatively affect fertility and fetal development. So this further solidified my confidence in taking this step. To everyone that's tried to challenge my decision and said I was making a mistake, I'm sorry you feel that way. 😉

I'm almost 40. In 3 months is my 40th birthday. I dont regret having no children at all 😂 And i dont feel old 😅

Still in my early 30s and I am honestly undecided on having kids. My husband of similar age as me think the same. With rising cost of living costs and how the society has gone haywire, makes us really doubt if we can really give better life to our so-called kids. Personally, I am quite concerned of my mental health and might drag my child along with my misery. Just nope. I'm okay with kids and I tolerate them really well but being a parent? Hmm. I hope people just mind their own business.

Miserable people wish misery on content and happy people. So you can rest assured that anyone threatening you regret and misery at some nebulous future point in time is *already* miserable in this present moment. And that's genuinely a shame.

I turned 44 earlier this month, and I STILL have no regrets about my choice to live childfree. You can't miss what you never had.

The possibility of regretting being cf is slim to none but regretting being a parent is higher. I wont be a mom just incase thats selfish asf and unfair to the child!😫

They said, the earth still spinning so does our life. I came in my mind that if I leave in this earth my life will end spinning like the earth but if you have a lineage or descendants your life will continue to spin creating chaos in this earth. As far as I believe people who have someone they leave behind they're not at rest, they still have concerns about people they love especially if it's their responsibility. I have two uncle's who doesn't have children, never dreamed about them but those who have, even they're still I alive I dremed of them with their children. I analyze what my dreamed about. It reminded me how their children was doing, their life and so on. And guess what, no regrets at all. I'm turning 35 y.o this year and I'm thankful I can die peacefully. I don't have to worry about a life that I'm responsible for their existence. A distraction of the planet, a consumer, a person to suffer and a puppet of the system. So, 🤷. Before I have sympathy with children and even adults that's in distressed or something that's disturbing to see but now, I lost it, 'cause we are all the same has human brain with cognitive thinking to analyze, to understand our situation. I was born in a family that's poor,( even my parents was born the same as they're now) constant fighting in our household, need to work helping them to make the ends meet. Even though my life now are better than I was before but then, there's no guarantee my offspring will continue the life that I will give to them. Mybe one or two will follow but what about the rest? Do I have to blame them for they're lazy or messed up? Just like my mother blaming my brother for he is not what she was expecting to be and a disappointment. I'm stupid in some area in life but not on this. I will always be guilty even I'm not with them anymore even the fourth generation and so on. I even said to my sister-in-law 'cause now they've issue with my brother, she should blamemy parents 'cause they're the reason he exist. Even my partner I told him, sorry I exist 'cause sometimes when my hormones spike in the different directions 🙆 😄. I don't care what they're going to say. Those people should worry about their children or maybe they're those people who just spawned and spread their legs without knowing the consequences.😃 "To each, their own". 😌 My apology, about my English. 🕊️♥️🍀

I'm about a year from 40, still no kids and no regrets.

@3:58 AMEN!

I strongly dislike kids and have since I was a kid myself. But I couldn’t live without knowing what it was like to have a kid. So I have my kids I love, and still, really strongly dislike other kids😂 But mine are like mini mes. And they are along the ride with us. They definitely don’t control any aspect of our lives, work does. I never wanted kids and hated the idea of that responsibility but changed my mind because I’m that person who has to try everything lol. Lots of people with kids look miserable to me and I can tell they probably wouldve been happier childfree. But I just had to share because I was repulsed by kids and said I’d never have them growing up, never babysat because ew. But here I am with 2 of my own and I want 2 more. Never in my life could I predict this. But I’m glad I never let the fears of having no life after kids in because literally my whole life I’ve heard “dont have kids it’ll ruin your life” For me that wasn’t the case. It had to been in some larger plan for me too because I am afraid to death of needles, drs etc and I had 2 easy pregnancies and 2 births that I can say hurt less than a paper cut. Never heard that from anyone else. Anyone elses birth story makes me wanna delete myself lmao

I'm sorry, but I don't want to have kids for people to human traffic. There are so many worries about when and how to have a child, and they're very expensive. I don't see people out here protesting for others to have kids and offering money to help raise those kids. I have not seen any men offer one dime to any woman they DO NOT KNOW to have kids.

We'll regret it at 80 when all family and friends will be gone.

As much as I want to be childfree because I feel the stress and cost of a child would be too much for me, I do worry being old without kids or siblings. For instance I'm having to take care of a grandpa with pneumonia and if I wasnt here he'd probably be 1000x more miserable or dead at this point. When I'm his age I'll likely be alone. You shouldnt have kids and expect them to take care of you, but I'm sure having that lifeline is comforting

It's not wirth it having kids. I know many people who lost their jobs because of their kids. They were being great parents but we can't hold your position at work just because school called for whatever reason your kid got into. Then they can't work nights as they can't afford these babysitters, so it's a lot of people fighting and clawing the morning shifts and then, of course, half the morning shift can't make because of their kids. Basically, in order to have kids now, you have to go in debt getting a college degree just to afford to pay for someone else to watch your kids.

Great video, but I'm quite a bit confused as to why you said that it's "important to recognize" parents who are happy with parenthood. And why did you say that their experiences with us are "the most enlightening"? A lot of times, parents are undeniably happy with their lifestyle, but then they go to an egoistic extreme and insinuate and assume that "nobody's as happy as they are". And for the most part, they are not cheering us on from the sidelines, they're just invested in themselves, and couldn't care less about childfree people.

When a young man in his twenties reads this. The biggest difference between dating in the twenties and dating in the thirties is that women in their thirties don't give a shit about contraception anymore. They don't even ask. Why do you think that is? 🤔

For many yes, but if not, you’ll regret it when you’re 90 and all your friends are gone, your husband is dead/incompacitated and there is nobody to take care of you or keep you company other than the government appointed nursing home staff you are in.

For woman 40 years is basically their fertility window closing. So there is almost no turning back after that. Plus, for woman to have children is biologically determined while for men it is not. So, the probability of regret is high. However if it is your decision there is nothing bad about it and you will not have regrets too, it is just most people lack accountability and the percent of this among the women is especially high and everybody knows that and warns about it.

Old proverb from the Caucasus. If by the time a man has reached the age of 40 and his house is not full of the voices of his children, it fills with nightmares.

I have nothing against childfree people... but when people such as you do things.like for ex design entire channel like this its just kind of sad... suspect coping mechanism is operating here... self validation ect
