To not want kids after 30?

[Pennyblossomx]

I suspect I'll get flamed for this. But I just don't want anymore kids after I turn 30. I'm 26 got an almost 3 month old and a 5 year old and I just can't see myself wanting a baby after 30. AIBU?

Your twenties are literally the time of your life. The world is your oyster. If you don't have kids you have the ability to chose to do what ever you want - embed yourself in a career, go travelling, go clubbing, do hobbies etc. You never get Your twenties back again and no their decade of your life can be so free of responsibility with the ability to choose your own direction. That is why I didn't have children in my twenties and I hope my children live it up in their twenties. As for energy in your 30's - I honestly don't feel I had any less energy. I personally was zapped of any desire to have babies by the end of my 30s though - I'm not sure I could have had one over 40 but I wouldn't judge people who do.

Perhaps you would feel differently if you didn't have kids, desperately wanted them and reached 30 and then met the perfect partner.

@araiwa

Yes. 30 kids is enough

😂😂😂

That's your choice.

Mine would have been definitely NOT to have kids at 21, and definitely not 2 by 26. 🙈

Pros and cons to having them younger or later.

Have them in your 20s and get your freedom in your 40s. Or have your freedom in your 20s and have them after that.

If you feel so worn out at only 26 then maybe you should see the GP to rule out anything.

I think that's a good age more risk with age and old eggs but you not allowed to talk about that . Pluss the doctors just want to stick a coil in for contraception which can't be good with all them hormones it releases pluss the pill becomes more risky with age. You may want to consider sterilisation ask your gp they will try to get you to have coil but its your choice so you can be hormone free it you have definitely decided no more kids.

You do you and I’ll do me, I don’t need any validation though hth 😊

I’m 45 and I don’t have any. I think you’re lucky to have kids at any age if that’s what you want, who cares what an individual chooses if you have the privilege of choice?! What’s your point?

Not unreasonable at all. My cut off was 30 and I had my third at 28. For me, I do not want teenagers in my late 40s/50s. My mortgage is due to be paid when I'm 42 all being well and I will move into a different phase of my life.

What an odd thing to start a thread about And yes I know i can scroll by

AIBU to not want any kids under 30? I'm not saying it's for plebs or anything and I'm not saying it's for people without careers or aspirations, or that there's a correlation with educational achievment and poorer socioeconomic group, just that I had both mine after 30 and have a great job and a huge home and 7 cars and many ponies and a private jet and a yacht. AIBU?

Just saying.

No flaming eh.

Goadiest thread.

@LAgeDeRaisin works both ways I guess.

Can I have one of your cars? And a pony? Thanks! 😀
