I'm 41 and have no kids. At one point, in my late 20's, I REALLY had the hormonal urge to have kids. But I was single and in no position to have a child - naturally or otherwise. When I met my husband a few years ago we both knew we didn't want kids. It was too late in life for that and we weren't all that interested in having them.

Do I regret it now? Nope. But I come from a large family and have 15 nieces and nephews so I can get a kid fix if I need one.

I'm the youngest of 8. My mom was 40 when she had me. I grew up with "old" parents (although they were always younger than their age). I wouldn't want to put a child through that.
