I'm not sure if there are any who don't want kids at all though. My older sister is turning 40 this year and still no kids. She wants them, but I don't think he husband wants any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790448 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:13:52 +0000 Running Elley 790448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any. We have a few couple friends that have 1 or 2 and are done but none that don't want any kids at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790436 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:10:28 +0000 spaniellove 790436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Many of my friends are CFBC or due to circumstances such as health. A few I think are childfree due to infertility but they're not open about it so I don't want to discuss it with them. I feel some guilt about trying so hard to become a parent after identifying with them and worry that they'll turn their backs on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790410 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:03:04 +0000 lilyann 790410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I have some co workers that don't want kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790406 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:01:13 +0000 Cherrybee 790406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one particular friend who is very, very loud about being "childfree by choice". Literally, she goes on and on about how she doesn't understand why anyone would want children and how she would never give up her wonderful life to have kids. Thing is, I never see her doing much other than working her butt off and showering her two cats with love and gifts; seriously that woman's Facebook profile is jam packed full of kitty pics (and don't get me started on the profile she set up for her dead cat). I don't think there's anything weird about women who choose not to have children but, honestly, I can't help but think she's protesting a little loudly.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790333 Fri, 17 May 2013 08:47:29 +0000 teamjse 790333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a few people who do not want children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790317 Fri, 17 May 2013 08:41:47 +0000 autumnlove 790317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lot of friends who don't want kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790300 Fri, 17 May 2013 08:34:05 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 790300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't really thought about it before, but yes most of my girlfriends don't want children. My guy friends who are married either have kids or see them in their future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790267 Fri, 17 May 2013 08:26:43 +0000 sera_87 790267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure my brother doesn't want them. He's 35, so If he does, he'll be one of those 40+ dads<br /> My best friend had one at 16 (so now her LO is 11) and she flip flops. Right now she's in the "I'm almost done so why start over?" mindset....plus she's with a guy who is 'fixed' so I'm guessing it has to do with that. Just a titch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790233 Fri, 17 May 2013 08:16:10 +0000 Alivoo01 790233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two, but both girls who don't want any, while their significant others LOVE kids and want them. My guess is they'll have kids. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790196 Fri, 17 May 2013 08:05:32 +0000 MrsKoala 790196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that I'm thinking of it, no. One of my closest friends is a little iffy about whether she does or she doesn't and my sister has been a bit ambivalent, too but no one is completely against having kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790114 Fri, 17 May 2013 07:32:39 +0000 Honeybee 790114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to know a lot of childless couples but we moved and pretty much everyone in our new town has children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-790106 Fri, 17 May 2013 07:29:32 +0000 Anagram 790106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my older brothers doesn't want kids.

DH's good friend doesn't want any kids, she just married someone much older then her that already has a kid just a few years younger then her. </p> <p>I also have a friend who says she wants kids..... but then gets obviously overwhelmed or annoyed when kids are around. I don't take offense to it because I know it's just her personality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-friends-that-dont-want-kids#post-789006 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:16:52 +0000 BSB 789006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few, but not a ton. </p>
