[quote=Anonymous]I know my son can’t have kids naturally and my daughter is a (young, single) adult who says she doesn’t want kids. I’ll be surprised if I have grandchildren. I’m fine with that. I’ve always believed in surrounding myself with people I love and want to spend time with, so I doubt I’ll do things differently as I age. I have younger nieces and nephews and plenty of friends with little ones. I can always volunteer. There is no shortage of people, even kids, who need love, friendship, and support. If they don’t come into my life from my own kids’ bodies, I’m confident I won’t be lonely.

Plus I like to travel. I have a lot of older friends who travel in retirement and don’t have to worry about being home for kids’ or grandkids’ events, or who spend holidays abroad because they want to. Theres no one demanding they be home to host them and decorate. That sounds lovely too.

Honestly I’ll be happy either way, which is great because I have no input on this decision. I’m just going to live my best life and find the bright side in whatever comes my way. My kids are wonderful people and I enjoy time with them whether they have kids or not. I want them to be happy and love that they are able to choose to have kids or not without feeling pressured by society. [/quote]
