There are two concepts of single/no kids for the rest of your life that are quite different.

One, single with no kids because you did want to get married or have kids, but couldn't make it happen or gave up.

Two, single with no kids because you didn't want to get married (or have kids) in the first place.

Now, we often use "single" in the two usages without qualifying which one, and therein lies the confusion.

"Do you plan on being single and childless for life?", can thus can be answered differently to someone who is currently by choice or not by choice.

Also, finally, being single and having kids are two different things, of which one can occur with or without the other.

if your siblings r rotten parents and your parents are rotten parents u r guna be a rotten parent, whether u wana be or not. stay childless and it wont happen ever.
hence the lon chaney jr analogy. do u watch old movies at all? the moral of the story, dont hang out in moonlight with pretty women or u might turn into a monster and get killed.

I am not married and I do not have kids. I never wanted children. I am OK with this. I don't really have a maternal instinct and never have. I think there are enough people in the world without making my genetic contribution.

As far as marriage goes, I would like to have a man in my life. But I have pretty much lost hope of this happening. Dating and romance has never come easily to me and I think I am destined to be alone. Although I don't like being alone I have come to accept it.

I don't understand why this subject is continually being beat to death like a dead horse.


I don't have kids. I don't want them. Would I like to practice like I'm trying to make one? Yes.

I plan on no kids ever and it's a choice, despite that some things will say it's due to unfortunate circumstances.

I don't planning on being single for the rest of my life. I highly doubt that I'll ever have children though & at 44 I'm not sure I would want them.
