I’m approaching 36 and I still don’t want them. I guess I’m glad I never had them. But I know I’ll regret this at some point

Its better to regret not having kids than regret having them

I agree… can’t take care of myself. Wouldn’t be fair on the kids to have them.

I know the feeling. I’m 36 as well, and my son has been living with his dad since he was 5, because of my illness.

You know my story.
I believe if you don’t want them by now,
You probably shouldn’t have any.

ish, my daughter was born when I was 31, she is my only child. I thought that other parents would be more accepting of me, considering they also dealing with the aspects of parenthood. I was so wrong !
Normal people will reject anyone who is different, and I don’t just mean the schizophrenics. If a person has anything odd about them, either physically or mentally, normal people will be cautious of them.
Sure, your family loves you, your boyfriend/girlfriend loves you, your group of friends who are similar to you loves you, and maybe your neigbours who know you loves you.
But not the general population, whatever you do, be a good parent, have a good job or become a leader of the community. They will reject and even oppose anyone they consider outside the norm.
However I think that you would be a great Mum, and have beautiful children. But how the situation is today in UK and difficulty you will experience bringing your children up in this uncertain country, needs a lot of thought.

I want kids but I think it would be selfish if I actually did. I don’t have the money to provide them with the life I would want to give them, I would love and support them, and that is extremely important of course, but I think they should also have some nice things that I wouldn’t be able to provide.
