[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This medieval thread is fascinating. I had no idea that people saw having kids as a quid pro quo, a means to a grandchild end? I’m a parent and I just can’t imagine thinking that way, haven’t we all learned at this point that forcing children/other people into lives they don’t want is just a recipe for misery? I want my kids to be happy in their lives and healthy and fulfilled. I know they may not take the routes I would prefer.

Without being glib, this is such a boomer mentality- all about them, all the time. (I am Gen X- whatever happens happens, and I’ll adjust!) [/quote]

Same here! I honestly was quite surprised at this type of thinking - [b]that there’s no point to existing (and/or no societal contribution) if an adult child doesn’t have children[/b]. I understand being disappointed if someone wanted grandchildren but this is way beyond that! I had no clue people felt that way.[/quote]No one said that there's no point in existing, except the anti-kids people creating strawmen. OP said that she sacrificed her life having kids, and resents her kids for not doing the same. Lol, not much better, but let's be accurate.

Live life for yourself now, OP. Spend all your saved money on yourself and give the rest to charity.[/quote]
