IMO it's extremely presumptuous to thank someone for that. You likely haven't a clue to the complete situation (maybe they were abused as a child), so no, you shouldn't thank someone for not having a kid. That said, it should be perfectly fine with everyone should a woman or a man not want to have kids. Not everyone wants to be a parent, or wants all that comes with that. That is perfectly understandable.
