I agree with this. One way I look at it that brings me comfort is "I choose to be child free but I can always choose to be a parent if I want, however, I cannot 'put the kid back in' if I no longer want to be a parent."

Of course its ok, its your life to choose how you live it. I admire that you put thought into it instead of popping em out like so many do without being able to care for them properly

Of course its O.K . And I think becoming less and less odd as people accept more and more not everyone desires children for varying reasons. Not to mention people who do want children are having less on average . I don't think its anymore odd to not want children at all than it is to not want to have as many as you physically can .

I personally believe it's ok. My husband and I agreed before marriage that neither of us wanted children. 6 years later we maintain that. I don't like it when people keep saying that I will crave it or whatever. I don't think so. I work with children (special needs ones at that) and I love children, but I don't want my own. I don't believe that I could provide them with adequate care emotionally and financially. While God always does provide, I also believe he wants us to be smart about what we do. The times have changed.
