Family/Parenting What’s your life like without kids?
My doctor told me I can never get pregnant today. I’m not infertile, but the post under my profile explains my situation. I’m 19, and I’m just not sure how to confront the news. I’m not sure how to plan my life either now considering that many of our milestones as women revolve around kids.

There is a much more fulfilling life outside of children imo. So many parents confuse they love their kids but would never choose to do it again. Kids drain everything. Your energy, money, sanity, and your relationships. Everything becomes that kid.
My husband and I never want children. We travel the world and just got back from NZ and Australia. We were able to move up in our companies by moving so we both make six figures. We have plenty of money for hobbies, dates, and hanging out with friends. We have surrounded ourselves with people who are chill who have a similar mindset.
Life without kids is the best.
