Not having kids, every time I have any remorse I spend some time around kids and their parents, in about 5 minutes I’m good

I love kids, but I have never felt a want for them.

Same here, having watched how the lives of my friends who had kids changed reaffirmed the decision of not having any for me. You basically have to be prepared to dedicate next couple of decades of our life to raising kids and not doing much of anything else. And you end up giving up the freedom to do things like move to a different town or try a new career. Your primary goal becomes having stable income to raise your kids.

I’m in the same boat, except I’ve never felt any kind of remorse. How often do you feel it?
