[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 468910, member: 983"] That is the hardest thing we had to think about. First, your friend circle is different. Not that you can’t hang out with families, but you don’t fit in that well. So you primary friends are those who don’t have kids. Family with kids is great but same issue there. The choice when made (or forced with infertility) isolates you in a way. And that follows you through life unquestionably. You’re really hung up on the career vs. kids stance. Honestly I know very few who have said career is why they don’t have kids. More so, it’s the world we live in and not wanting to bring kids into it. It’s flexibility. It’s chasing other personal goals. I know multiple couples doing van life and working wherever they want. One is climbing every peak named in the west. They know their lifestyle wouldn’t be possible with kids. So they chose. And they work less than me lol. Selfish? Maybe. Will they regret it at old age? Who knows. It’s life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness at its fullest. And I won’t judge them for it. [/QUOTE]
