As I enter my mid-30’s with no kids, a great life and a stable and good relationship, I can’t help but wonder if I’m making a mistake not having children. I always put my career first and although it’s been very fulfilling, I’m scared when I hit say 60, I’ll wish I had have had kids.
We have almost no immediate family for kids either. My brother in law has 3 kids but they live 6 hours away and my closest family member my age, my cousin is 37 with no kids and is gay so I don’t see it happening. He, like me focused on his career too and says he doesn’t regret it at all but I’m not sure he would admit it anyways.
I feel like I would be a good father. I’m kind of neutral on it but really, it’s FOMO that makes me worried. My girlfriend is neutral on it too and doesn’t care if we don’t have any.
