[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If money isn't an issue and she is happy, just let her be herself. 
You may encourage her to take some courses she like (crafting, flower arrangement, cake decorating, accounting, etc) but don't push. She doesn't have to take college if it is too much for her IMO. 
About having kids, that is totally personal choice. She may not like it now but she may think about when she is around 30 or when her friends have kids. You already has grandkids, more or less doesn't make a different. Also stop comparing her with her sibling if you can. I hate it every minutes my mom compared me with other kids she knows. Everyone is different.

OP here and I don't have any grand kids yet. I just think she would make a great mother and her DH would make a great father. If she isn't going to work on a career then why wouldn't she just start a family. I don't understand why she doesn't want kids.[/quote]

I think this is a natural reaction.  We worry about our kids, but in this case, OP, I don't think it's productive.  If she's in a kind relationship and finances are fine, it should be okay with or without kids.  Give her time, she may gravitate on her own to a path in life.  You sound like the kind of mom who would be there for her if things don't go well.

I think you're being a good mom, just don't project your own worries on your DD.[/quote]
