Hello, I feel very worried and ashamedly envious right now. My brother and all cousins have children except me. There's 7 of us including myself. Now that my cousin is pregnant, I am the ONLY one without children. I was told this today over the phone by my aunt.
I have no children, I just turned 36, so I'm thinking about my bloodline not being continued. I realize I do actually care what people think of me having no children... I truly feel jealous of my cousins happy news. So lame. Jealousy/envy are not my usual moods.
I'm terribly confused right now... I'm feeling sad too. I don't even think about children! It hasn't been a problem for me to be childfree. Except once at 24 I wanted a baby, when I was deeply depressed, desperate for a relationship, and believed I needed "someone to love me." The thing with marriage is, you can usually get married at any age.... it's not the same with kids. I'm a full-time live in carer for my mother, single currently, never been married. Thanks so much
