[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's wild that people think having children is optional.  [b]One of the few things we require from our kids: grandchildren.[/b]  Investing all that time and money for children to selfishly end your family is insane. [/quote]

How exactly are you going to enforce this?[/quote]

You don't "enforce" this, but you sure as heck raise your children to understand that the purpose of marriage is for a woman and man to raise children within the family unit.  Also, when they start forming families, you support them financially with your savings from a lifetime of work.  Any children who pursue a more selfish life are not assisted.

In short, if you want more of something, you subsidize it. [/quote]

What if your kids couldn't have kids?  Would you still punish them?  And if you highly favored your children who had children please don't expect a loving relationship with your childfree children.  Personally, I would work hard so I would not need your blood money AND I wouldn't see you ever again.[/quote]

If a child did the right thing and got married young, you support him or her if there is an infertility struggle.  That's bad luck and not the result of bad choices.  If a daughter waits until she's 39 because she's pursuing her career (lol), then she's wasted her youth and a terrible disappointment.  There is nothing better in this world than raising children and grandchildren.  If a child is too selfish to continue the tradition of her ancestors, she dishonors her family and deserves scorn.

You would be welcome to go off into the ether to take care of yourself and let your bloodline die with you.  I can't imagine a more shallow and selfish existence, and I'd wonder where I failed as a parent to raise such a person.  A life serving others, especially your children and grandchildren, is far more rewarding than serving yourself.  [/quote]

Holy shit! Just when I think I’ve seen it all. [/quote]
