[quote=Anonymous]It is not unreasonable to hope for grandchildren and be disappointed if you don’t have any. Of course, every child deserves to decide if they will have their own or not. It doesn’t mean their parent won’t mourn the grandparent relationship they never had if the child decides not to become a parent. We all have narratives in mind of how life will be. Life doesn’t always turn out the way we want. It doesn’t mean that we can’t be sad about it. We all have our own individual lives but our life touches and influences others and to think that the decisions we make only have consequences for ourselves is just naive. You don’t have to make all your decisions with others in mind but they will affect others none the less. Some societies put great value in that knowledge and others don’t. Americans typically don’t and who’s to say our society is better for it. There are many, many instances where it’s clearly not.[/quote]
