[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, I think I’d be disappointed if my kids don’t have kids so I understand feeling sad that you are missing out on something you had been looking forward to. This doesn’t, though, mean you are a failure or that your kids are. If anything, you can be proud that you raised independent people that are making choices in line with their best interests. At the end of the day, if they are healthy and happy that’s what matters. I don’t buy the idea that their decisions about this are a reflection of your parenting at all. Plenty of people who are terrible parents have grandkids and plenty of great parents don’t. Choosing to not have kids has become increasingly common, especially among seemingly well adjusted upwardly mobile young adults. Focusing on enjoying rich relationships with your adult children and, if you want baby/kid time, look into opportunities volunteering with this group. [/quote]
