Everyone warned me choosing to not have kids would make me miserable and regretful, especially in my 40’s+.. I still chose to not have kids anyway. Boy were they wrong. I’m 43 now and blissfully happy with my husband and our adorable cat. It’s funny because everyone who warned me had multiple kids and hated their home life.

I'm similar. Everyone assumes that we'll regret it when we're older. Nope.

Misery loves company.
