One person’s story of not having children

Phew! I finally made it!

So here it is at last! My very first blog post! Congratulations to me - and thanks to Today.com!

I am one of that invisible multitude - a single woman  in her 50s, and childless. I am not single by choice, and I am not childless by choice. (And before you ask, I am not gay either - although that is not necessarily relevant.) Yes - I am one of those to whom the epithet “ohmigod I forgot to have the children” is apt.

This blog is going to be about why (as far as I can tell) this parlous state of affairs came about, and the effect on me and my life generally.

Maybe writing this blog will amuse me and others, maybe I’ll gain a little insight and detachment, maybe others might empathise and/or have some useful comments. Plus in addition, I’ll earn a $1 a post - and that’s better than a nod and a wink to a blind man!
