[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, way to make it all about you.

I don't understand why parents are often so into their kids having kids. They are more likely to be around to help with your elder care if they aren't busy with kids.[/quote]

I think it’s because baby snuggles are such a magical, fleeting stage to someone who did have and raise children and your only chance to really have this kind of closeness with little children at that age is through your grandchildren.[/quote]

Could you even imagine more selfish people than potential grandparents who require their own DCs to assume all this work and responsibilities just so they can get a few snuggles and then return the kids to their parents when it comes to work and responsibility? OP is the embodiment of egotism.[/quote]

Who said "require", number 1? And number 2, I see how you get to "selfish" but I think it is more wishful than selfish. It's ok to be disappointed but, in the end, it's not the parents' call as to whether their kids have kids. If my DC decided to not have kids, I'd be disappointed and a little worried, but it would ultimately not be my call.[/quote]

What would you be worried about?[/quote]

Loneliness. Not having a family support system after we pass. Regretting the decision too late to change it. Just off the top of my head.[/quote]
