Im not sure I understand your question?

I believe though that having children is a personal choice. If one does not want kids they should never have them.

my question is what would be the life without having kids in life

I'm still a little confused...I guess life would just be as it is now for you. Your life is what you make it, and if children would make your life complete, then you've got your answer.

My married life with no kids (I'm 43, hubby's 31):

We both work with no daycare issues
We can pick up and go away for the weekend with very little muss/fuss
No middle-of-the-night-feedings (unless the cats are really hungry)
Clean house, all the time
No one playing "dress-up" with my clothing & personal care items
Fewer expenses (kids are EXPENSIVE)

As for psychologically....about age 15, I got the idea that I didn't want kids...at 27, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and learned it would very difficult if not impossible for me to get pregnant anyway. Much to my doctor's suprise, I greeted this news with laughter and a hearty "thank you."

I don't feel like I've missed out on anything, and I don't stare longingly at families or in the baby section of the department stores. I have yet to hear a single "tick-tock" out of the alleged biological clock that's supposed to be embedded in my uterus. When I see people with kids in public, somewhere in the back of my mind I'm going, "glad that's not me." I think there is money to be made in a restaurant that offers kids and no kids sections, and I'd gladly pay a premium to enjoy my meal without a shrieking baby or babbling toddler in the next booth over.

Kids are fine....as long as they are someone else's. I really don't want them in my life, though.

I think its sort of against God's plan... he wants us to find our special someone and populate the earth... I dont believe we were put on this earth to work at jobs (Although thats part of life)
