I have a hard time imagining life without my daughter. Actually, that's not true. It's pretty easy to imagine my life without my daughter. It would be full of travel, new cars, sophisticated cocktail parties and other shenanigans. The world would be my oyster and I would be able to afford all the gadgets and gizmos I've always wanted.
If those are the kinds of things that appeal to you, then by all means consider the childfree life. Personally, I've experienced so much joy and discovered an entirely new level of happiness since becoming a father. It's been incredibly rewarding and I don't regret it for a second.
I would be interested to hear a female perspective on this. Men (I'm guessing most posters on here are dudes, no offense Firefly) can live like a kid until age 40 and beyond but still have time to have a change of heart. Kids are possible way later into life for men. See King, Larry.
