The extremely few I know who didn’t want children never changed their mind. Though some of them enjoy spending time with other people’s kids.

Asking a woman who was on able to have children for whatever reason, but dearly wanted children all alone is like sticking a knife in her guts.

But it never fails during social interactions and chit chat “oh how many children do you have?” and it tears my heart when I hear that.

I have plenty of children I have plenty of grandkids and great grandkids and TBH, people need to be mindful that there are a lot of women who cannot have children, want them so much, but are unable to adopt for whatever reason.

And it’s sickening to see who is eligible to adopt children who otherwise would never be able to procreate as a couple...

That would be a son-in-law's sister. She never wanted kids of her own, even to this day (she's 48 now). I don't mind, as she's rich and showers my grandchildren (her nieces) with gifts. I don't get how anyone would not want kids, particularly a woman. But she's a career lawyer dedicated to her profession. And the only female among 5 kids having 4 brothers who have kids.
