So this has been a thing as of lately that people now treat you differently if you choose not to have kids or don't have kids by this age, What's everyone's opinions on this?
I think it's personally rubbish, Not everyone wants kids and they are a lot of responsibility and money to take care of.

One day I want kids and yes I am turning 27 soon but I am not ready, Especially since how hard the pandemic has hit prices on everything, and now the Russians war-making things worse you can't blame people.

What's everyone thoughts on this?
 
Well, I'm 31 and I don't have kids, so I guess I'm not human :P .

And yeah, it's not for everyone... to me it just seems like it'd require more time, energy, resources and patience than I'd be willing or able to devote, so I'd probably be a bad parent. It's probably best if I leave it to the people who want to do it!

I hate how people force you to have kids at a certain time and I could not agree more then you! :)

I rather not be human then pressured to keep up with society standards, there’s so much involved in raising another human, it’s for some but not for others.
 
I am child-free by choice & chose that when I was 22. I never wanted kids. Frankly, I don't care what others think lol It's a personal decision. I hate people having kids because they feel pressured. Then everybody suffers, especially the kid.
So I am not a human too apparently :)

It’s your choice and good on you for not letting society control you :)

I’m turning 27 this year so I still got time, honestly I’m not ready yet, We see if that changes in the future.
 
Well, I'm older than 25 and don't have kids...can't have kids now, anyway. I'm not upset about that. If I meet someone and choose to have kids, we can adopt, but I'm not desperate.
 
I had a kid when I was 19. She's almost 19 now!
Nice! Must of been a pain but amazing at the same time to raise her :D

Same here, I want kids but it’s not a priority in my life at the moment, I need to meet someone first which hasn’t happened yet.

It's not even the aspect of having kids, society expects you to partner up and begin producing offspring as soon as you reach adulthood. My family and coworkers persistently ask me when I'm going to find someone so I'm not alone forever. I simply growl and respond it's none of their business.

It’s annoying, same thing happens to me, then people call you a “nerd” for simply not wanting a relationship.

Sex and romance doesn’t have to be part of anyones life, it’s optional, it definitely is not their business, you can have kids if you are ever ready, it’s a lot of work taking care of a kid.
 
We're not living in the 1800s anymore where you got to have kids when you're in your teens lol.

I actually work with someone who was born when his mom was in her 40s, and I have a cousin who is like 41 and finally just got pregnant, so you can still make it work in your 40s. Though as I near 32 I like to start getting my own kid train going.
 
Wasn't a pain at all. Just amazing. :)
I mean raising a kid takes a lot of effort but at the same time the joy of being a father would be like no other :)

My apologies I should of explained further :D

I actually agree, I’m not sure why people think so old fashioned, it’s the modern age now the 21st century.
 
I disagree with that mentality. I'm past 25 and, personally, I wish I had kids, but no girl wants me because I'm physically disabled and poor.

Can’t stand people that only date someone for their money., I’m sorry to hear :(

I’m single and not ready for kids.

I'm sorry you feel that way Lifeson. I'm sure there is someone just perfect out there for you. Just keep a positive mindset. Best of luck :)
