[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect the ones clamoring for grandchildren are also the least likely to help out with babysitting or to visit. They just want the status symbol of telling their friends how many grandkids they have and don't want to help out current parents in a world that has made it much harder to raise children than they experienced.[/quote] Why should we help out? Our parents did not help us neither did any previous generation parents since dawn of time. My grandparents had 8 kids and we lived 3,000 miles away yet somehow my mom had four kids and me three kids. Today the precious snowflakes wit two kids except both grandparents helping, daycare, babysitters, after school programs, summer camps. Raise your own damn kids. [b]All I ask, marry well, have 2-3 kids[/b], buy a house and have me over thanksgiving, Xmas, kids birthday parties. I am not your servant. I raises my kids. [/quote] All I ask… as if it’s a tiny thing! Those are huge asks! Why would you ask that they marry or have kids (specifically 2-3 kids)? You’re correct in that you’re not their servant but perhaps in the same way, neither are they yours. They get to choose their life and if you want, you can be happy for them and support their choices.[/quote] Less than two is weird and more than four is a cult. Pretty much 2-3 is normal. Honestly two is bare minimum for a couple to break even. I assume a married women with no kids she is the in the closet guys beard. Or worse he will run off at 55 with a 35 year old and start a family I have a creepy cousin around 63 with his 62 year old wife. No kids. His sister has three. His dad still alive. It is weird in their place. Got that old people waiting to die smell with no kids [/quote] 62 is hardly "old person waiting to die smell" unless there are some serious health problems. Come back to me in 25 years. [/quote] 62 is like 82 if you never had kids. His wife smells of mothballs and he smells like used depends [/quote]
