Woman Constantly Asked Why She Doesn't Have Kids at 38 Responds — and Her Answer Goes Viral (Exclusive)


A 38-year-old woman is going viral after posting a video to TikTok in which she answers a question she gets all too frequently: What's it like not having kids?

Now at 3 million views and climbing, the video has triggered an outpouring of positive comments from those who, like Mellinger, lead very full lives without children. Mellinger, who is married and whose husband also has no children, goes on to say that she "probably" does save money as a result of not having kids, but spends it on other things — like traveling. Addressing the more negative comments and questions she receives, Mellinger says in the video that she has plenty of purpose in life, and doesn't worry about needing children to take care of her when she's older.
