[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t become weird about it. I say that to be helpful - my parents dealt with friends who went through what you’re going through now - always had plans for lots of grandchildren and for various reasons won’t have any. When getting together with my parent sand other couples, they got progressively more defensive and critical. It caused some arguments in the group and they eventually faded out of the circle (after 50 years of friendship!). During the pandemic they moved to the west coast. I think they were said and envious of the friends that had grandchildren and they became bitter. While everyone understood the sadness some of the negativity was just too much. [/quote] I can't imagine what they would be arguing about. Defensive and critical of what? Other people having grandchildren(?) because that would make no sense, it's not in their control. Were the others constantly rubbing it in their noses or what? I don't really get this. [/quote]
