[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My best friends brother has a wife with a number of learning disabilities. She ended up working in event planning for her city and really enjoyed it. So I would say make this decision on what is best for you and what you want for your life.

I will caution you. My mother stayed at home. She was so done with me and my sister that she won't talk to either of us really and wants nothing to do with her grandkids. Her stance is, she raised her kids and she is Done! She does have a rich life involving interior design and ladies groups. I haven't seen her in years and it had nothing to do with covid but the fact the kids are small and we can't afford plane tickets to go see her. Think about how you might feel long term about your kids and grandkids as they age. [/quote]

Op here. Oh my god your mom sounds awful. I adore my children. And I can’t wait to be there for my grandkids! [/quote]

Your kids may choose to be childfree. [/quote]

I have many kids. Someone will have grandchildren. [/quote]

They may also be infertile. Might want to find a hobby. Good luck![/quote]

:roll: DP here.  Infertility runs in families and so does fertility. Someone with 5 kids does not have infertility problem and the chances are extremely rare that all 5 of their kids will want to remain childless due to choice or infertility.

Most young people will want to have kids if they have some assurance that they will be supported by their parents for childcare.  I have seen that people who do not want to be parents usually had neglectful parents (usually WOHMs), smaller families and no assurance of future support.  [/quote]
People can adopt 5 kids genius.[/quote]

OP here. But I’m my case, I did not adopt them. And both DH and I come from large families. [/quote]
