Yes. 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.
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.

I can only think of one. We were never super close but we were in the same circle a few years back.

I have three couples in my life (friends) that don't want kids!

One who is strongly CBC with her husband, and one single friend in her mid 30s who's not too worried if she doesn't get there "in time".

Almost all my friends don't have kids and don't want kids.
I glad to hear that a lot of people still have friends that don't have/want kids because I'm a little worried that we will grow apart.

One couple that have been together since 17/18 and they are still deciding. I think they will end up with one.

Most of our friends don't have/don't want kids. We've lost about half of these since B. (drifted apart)

I have a friend that loves babies/kids but doesn't want any of her own. It surprises me.

One of my older brothers doesn't want kids. He's 35 this year, so I believe him.

We used to know a lot of childless couples but we moved and pretty much everyone in our new town has children.

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.

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!

Pretty sure my brother doesn't want them. He's 35, so If he does, he'll be one of those 40+ dads
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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

None of our friends have kids because they're waiting or currently trying. 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.
