I just want to be left alone.

I'm 42 years old and single. I have been for 5 years now because I date a lot during my free time. I was married before for 4 years, but divorced because my ex wanted children and I didn't. <br><br>I'm not childfree by choice - I'm childfree due to a medical condition that made having kids almost impossible for me. I had 3 failed pregnancies and a miscarriage. After that, I made the decision to get my tubes tied. <br><br>I don't hate kids, I tolerate them and have no problem looking after them when asked to (and only when asked to). I do, however, have a huge problem with parents and other people in general who constantly ask me why I don't have kids or why I'm not married yet. <br><br>I take care of my elderly parents who both live with me. I am also taking care of my diabetic brother and his kids. I love him with all my heart, and I love his kids, but I never wanted children of my own. <br><br>It gets to a point where I just want to be left alone to do whatever I want, whenever I want to do it. I'm tired of constantly having to help people who don't even appreciate me or recognize my help. I'm tired of being asked questions that are none of their business. <br><br>I just want to be left alone to do my own thing.
