[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have four children in their low 30s. One is married, none have children.
I doubt that I'll have any. 
They all have a congenital condition -discovered when the youngest was 14 -  they don't want to pass on to their children and my daughters' condition would get worse if they became pregnant.
Sure they could adopt but I don't think any of them want to. They all are very comfortable and happy and don't want their lives disrupted by a societal expectation. 
My husband and I have a very big life traveling, working and doing our hobbies. 
I would love grandchildren but will be fine with or without them.
What hurts is people making comments to them or us asking when it's going to happen. 
Just stop. It's none of your business and it certainly isn't ours.

None of the 4 want kids? That’s not really normal. Even with a medical condition. I’d wonder what kind of trauma they went through as kids. [/quote]

There was no trauma. And I'm tired of ppl assuming otherwise. They saw how hard we worked and how many sacrifices we made (we didn't expect our third pregnancy to be triplets) and don't want that for themselves. [/quote]
