[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have middle schoolers, and my mom was talking about my future grandkids. I said something like “maybe someday, if they choose to have children…”

She was so upset about this. Saying of course they will have children. It’s not my choice, and maybe they’ll have big families of 5 kids. I admit I was a little surprised by her reaction. I said it casually without thinking too much about it.

Is this a common reaction? Should I have anticipated this?[/quote]

I am so sorry this comment was made!

No one should be made to feel that their "parental staus" is anyone else's business in any way.

-- Some people do not want children at all
-- Some people want children but cannot afford to have them
-- Some people want children but face infertility or other obstacles
-- Some people want children but have faced pregnancy or infant loss

It is no one else's business, and no one should ever be made to feel that they are less valuable than someone else due to their parental status. [/quote]
