I Am Single And Have No Children
I'm a single white man in my 40's and I don't have children either. I can't and never could. I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not being a parent. Some ask me why, some ask if I might adopt, some ask why not meet and marry a woman who has kids so I can take on some parenting roles. I ask why should I to all of these things. It's not as if I feel like I'm missing something. How could I miss something I have no frame of reference for?
The one troubling thing for me is that I have come to a turning point in my life where I know that there is no way I would want children. How could I manage that in my mid 40's now, and envision putting a son or daughter through college while I'm in my mid 60's? It seems terribly impractical to me.
Just some thoughts to share as I wonder aloud with others here.
