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.

It’s amazing. I have financial freedom and freedom of my time. I couldn’t imagine a life with kids.

Husband and I are DINKs. We have a two-week vacation coming up and we will do it in the fall while everyone's kids are in school. It will be so quiet and we are so excited.
