[quote=Anonymous]I went the other way. I wanted 3-4 kids before I had any, and I wanted to have them several years apart. Then I had twins and decided I was good with 2. You really can’t predict what life has in store for you. You should support your daughter’s making the choices that are right for her — and I’m sure you do — but I certainly understand feeling sad about possibly never becoming a grandparent. Being a grandparent is one of the payoffs for all of your parenting. You get to have a close relationship and have fun with grandchildren without the responsibility and the hard work of parenting. It’s a gift that you may never receive. We’re not entitled to be grandparents. It’s okay to feel whatever you’re feeling, but don’t let it influence how you react to your daughter’s preferences and choices. Try to keep the situation in perspective; it’s way too early to know how your daughter’s life will unfold.[/quote]
