[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as a mom, your concern is legit, you live them and ar[b]e used to looking out for them.[/b]

However, times have changed and if they build a good career, invest money, have a good support system and engaging hobbies, they'll be fine on  their own.

That being said, you can push this envelope once more even at the risk of being seen as a nagging meddler. Its worth it but then you'll have to hold your peace forever.

Ask them if there is any way you can help if they want to explore this avenue before you closing this chapter? If you can arrange any blind dates through a matrimonial service, help out with marriage expenses, help with freezing eggs etc. Tell them that you feel your mom didn't do it for your sister and you don't want to repeat this and carry this guilt. You are all adults and they can explain their reasons so you can better understand this matter and move on one way or other.

[b]OP is only looking out for herself.[/b] Her daughters are nearly 40-year-old grown-ass women! Op needs to accept she's not getting grandkids and get the hell on with what's left of her life. Actually, if she truly wants to help her daughters she should make sure hers and her husband's affairs are in order, make sure they have coverage for nursing home. home health expences.  Have the house cleared out of junk etc[/quote]

While this could be the case, it could also be the case that OP is genuinely concerned that they will regret missing out on something that she clearly loved. It doesn’t change what she should do (respect their decisions) but it may not be all about grandkids. [/quote]

OP is a man. Geez, the level of reading comprehension gets worse here every day.[/quote]
