He's the oldest and lives a more conventional life style. One son's partner doesn't want kids - and she's aging out - he's open to parenthood, but then again they wouldn't be able to travel the way they do.

My daughter is 44 years old, but when she was younger, she pondered on whether she should have a child. I reminded her that if she did, she wouldn't be able to just drop everything and go climbing or skiing at a moment's notice. She did tell me when she was 9 years old that she wasn't going to have kids. I asked her why and her response was "I see what you go through!"

My youngest is in his mid thirties and his life is not stable enough for a serious relationship or children.

I tell people that I didn't have children in order to have grand children - I had/have fun being a mom - and that's enough.
