I am in my mid 20s and don't have children and it's not seen as much of an oddity…yet. That because society dictates I "concentrate on my career" at this point. People in my family especially don't nag me about not having kids because I'm the "baby" of the family and if anything would think I'd be too immature to handle it. I think I'd make a great wife and mother though. Fortunately my boyfriend is a pretty good prospect and he wants children himself at some point.

Also, growing old without kids isn't foreign to my family as my siblings and several other aunts/uncles of mine don't have them. They have nieces and nephews though so they aren't totally alone.

I would love to have children because I am the youngest and if I don't have children I'll be old and I won't have anyone close to me, to pass my things onto, etc,. I don't currently have any nieces and nephews and my older 2 siblings defiantly won't be producing any. So yes, I would be very VERY disappointed not to ever have children. I don't care if they are girls or boys but I'd like to have some one day, at least 2 would be nice.

I'm hopeful though. My dad dreamed about a grandson and I dreamed I was holding a newborn infant(don't know what gender) and on a separate occasion I dreamed about a well dressed tan skinned little boy with curly brown hair.
