None for me, thanks

I am in my early forties and have never had children. It's not that I didn't have the chance; I was married, back in the day. It's just that I never had any maternal instinct whatsoever. I didn't like kids when I was a kid. When I met my now ex-husband, I let him know right up front that I did not want kids and he agreed & said he didn't want kids, either. After we married, however, he let me know that he wanted to start a family; I refused. That's not why our marriage broke up, though. And even if I met Prince Charming today, I still don't want kids. Kids to me are like snakes are to some people; slightly repulsive and nothing I would ever want to have.
