My first drop dead movie star beautiful GF married a very rich older businessman young. Her family dirt poor and she was a HS dropout. She had three beautiful kids and lives in a mansion. Her one commodity in life was beauty and ability to reproduce beauty. Getting married at 23. Her kids look like Ralph Lauren models and she looked like a leading lady of wealth.

My next GF never married after break up. I ran into on a business trip in NYC on subway and she was spitting fire and bitter. Still in same job 30 years, childless and alone. I was to blame for it all.

Like it or not reproduction is why we are here on Earth. And gene pool matters. Why did that 40 year old multimillionaire marry my drop dead beautiful five foot nine inch blond bombshell who at 120 pounds had a super model figure. Her fertility and looks. They had kids immediately

Why did my smart beautiful nice now spinster career women end up bitter and mean. Well we broke up 29 and she dove back into work and next thing you knew 35-37 hit and all the men gone. Her career stalled at 40 and I guess let’s hope neighbor finds her when she dies alone before her cats eat her.

Life is about reproduction. My young GF needed money and wealth which I did not have at time. My career women GF was not what I needed I wanted a a wife to bear multiple kids and be a SAHM. Not a lot but 2-4 kids.

Being a spinster or an aging bachelor not a good look. You get creepy then die alone or n a grave no one visits

So then what’s up with gay and trans people and people who genetically cannot reproduce?

I suspect the ones clamoring for grandchildren are also the least likely to help out with babysitting or to visit. They just want the status symbol of telling their friends how many grandkids they have and don't want to help out current parents in a world that has made it much harder to raise children than they experienced.

From kids soccer, back to school nights, SAT tutors, 21 birthday parties, play dates, paying for everything including college.

What was point of any of it without grandkids?

Lonely sad life for me at an empty Thanksgiving table with no one to even leave my stuff too.

What was point of having kids, what was even point of career or big house?

Having kids was your choice, they didn't sign up for that.

Having kids of their own is a life altering choice for them, not a mode of entertainment for grandparents.

Enjoy your active retirement, travel, find hobbies, take courses, start a small business, volunteer at soup kitchen on thanksgiving etc.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

His parents are not dead. So there are people grieving him.
Millions of people, in fact.
And we don't know who he left his money to. Perhaps to resources for addicts, which would be a wonderful legacy.
A mansion is meaningless, period. It doesn't matter if the owner is alive or dead. It's just a house.

Finally, if he had a wife and kids, they probably would have been grieving --and suffering terribly-- during his life. Addiction is a terrible thing. He probably had the self-awareness to not propose to someone or get anyone pregnant, and should be commended for that.

Mosquitoes are pollinators. They have purpose, so do gay and trans people. Learn your science, because you just sound like an idiot. You see homosexual behavior in the animal kingdom too.... it's a normal variant.

Addicts with wives and kids still die.
And unfortunately their wives and kids suffer a lot.

Why should we help out? Our parents did not help us neither did any previous generation parents since dawn of time.

My grandparents had 8 kids and we lived 3,000 miles away yet somehow my mom had four kids and me three kids. Today the precious snowflakes wit two kids except both grandparents helping, daycare, babysitters, after school programs, summer camps. Raise your own damn kids.

All I ask, marry well, have 2-3 kids, buy a house and have me over thanksgiving, Xmas, kids birthday parties. I am not your servant. I raises my kids.

This response is why there are not grandchildren.

Taking out climate change issues your child raising experience was worlds apart from ours nowadays. One salary was sufficient to support a family so the other parent could watch the kids when they were young. Aftercare was cheap come elementary age or the kids could go latchkey. You weren't threatened by the idea that someone would call CPS on you by telling your kids to play outside all day until dark. College acceptance was guaranteed for anyone with a good GPA. Rec leagues for youth sports used to be affordable and sufficient for all but the most elite players. I could go on and on.

Heck even sicknesses were easier. I can count on one hand the number of times I missed school due to illness as a child. Now illness is a monthly occurrence it seems for kids post-Covid.

Congrats on raising your kids and help out those of us younger parents who have a much steeper hill to climb.

Blah blah - kids today have it 100x easier than just 60 years ago. 160 years ago like 1,000x easier

Young prople today expect designer items, college psid and a big wedding. So. spolied. And now they want to travel and party before settling down. It's sad many people are too selfish to have kids. At least 10 years ago, people would have an assesory kid in their 40s.
