[quote=Anonymous]Please don’t pressure your adult children about grandchildren. My truly wonderful mother, in every other way, destroyed her relationship with my SIL on this point despite knowing that they were struggling with infertility. Then, when I was grieving the sudden death of my fiancé, both parents actually said to me how sad they were because it was there only chance to have a grandchild. That I might go on to find another person, but that they might not live to see that or I would be too old to have a child by then. It was breathtakingly hurtful then and 30 years later remains so. My mother did die before I adopted a child, but my father lived until she was almost 2. [/quote]
