My flavor is married at age 40, been married six years now and with no chance of kids (we got the male tubes snipped first thing in the first year). We were so relieved to had met someone who had zero interest in bearing children.
I only have a few friends left who have not had kids, but i consider the empty nesters to be kid-free, b/c we can do things together in the same way people who never had kids would - on the moment get togethers, travel weekends, adult activities....stuff not centered around either finding babysitters or dealing with little ones running around while adults are trying to talk.
So i feel a kindred to anyone who doesn't have kids in the home and feel empty nesters are included.
