AARP : BABY BOOMERS WHO NEVER MARRIED and SOCIAL SUPPORT
CHILDLESS WOMEN FUTURE CARE - SALLY ABRAHMS link to article
EXCERPT : As boomers care for their parents, or at least watch their friends in the throes, those with no children often wonder, “who will be there for me when I need help?”
With one in three boomers never married and some wed without kids, that’s a big question. Typically, it’s the spouse who does much of the caregiving, but with the growing rate of late-life divorce–saying “see ya, partner” after 20+ years of marriage—and women outliving men, that source of support may not be available.
So Marcy Cole, a Los Angeles social worker, conceived of an idea: to create a website for women childless by choice or circumstance. (The idea is that even if you don’t have your own child, you are a mother to someone—a sibling or other relative or friend, perhaps.)

FUN FUN FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME
Summer is the expand out season of the year, even in places where the climate is less radical from season to season. It took me some years, coming from the wintery snowy weather, to notice the change of seasons in Southern California, but I took a lot of docent lead hikes in the mountains and soon enough I knew the difference between a native plant and an invader. By walking frequently I began to see the more subtle but beautiful changes in scenery. Summertime is the season for outdoor exercise - walking, swimming, sailing, and barbecues and picnics. It's the time of the year when the most flirtations happen because there is so much social going on. Summertime is CASUAL compared to all the other seasons, in clothing and attitudes. SUMMER IS THE TIME WHEN NMNK's WHO TEND TO ENJOY A LOT OF ALONE TIME CAN GO AND DO THINGS ALONE BUT IN GROUPS and MAKE NEW FRIENDS.
THE BEST EVENT OF ALL FOR NMNK's in SUMMER IS A NATURE HIKE OR SWIM UNDER A FULL MOON!

SATURDAY NIGHT ISN'T DATE NIGHT FOR THE NMNK!
Some of you are more COMMITTED to the NMNK lifestyle than others. For some dating, sex, relationships are part of life but getting married and having kids is not the goal. Having fun, getting to know others - and yourself - better, focusing on creating and establishing a business, making it through Grad School, or focusing on volunteer work may be the established goal of your life. You might think of being NMNK as temporary.
As always I find NMNK - An Intentional Community - gets lost in dating clubs and woe-is-me web sights, all focusing on what is wrong with life as is (or else why would someone spend time complaining?). I only wish those who are desperate to be in a relationship were as RESPECTFUL to my lifestyle and choices as I must be to them. That is simply not the case even though record numbers of individuals are not getting married or having kids, which just might be GOOD FOR THE WORLD when it comes to limiting the population.
For many MARRIED WITH KIDS means there will hardly ever be a date night for the spouses. Which shows it can be done.
For me Saturday night has long ago ceased to be a night that I plan to be out. I prefer in, especially because I have so many interests and hobbies that I like to pursue. Sometimes I ask a friend over.
Alone but not Lonely,
Sister
