[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until fairly recently lots of people were pressured to have children they didn't really want.[/quote] This. Also the same feminism that has helped younger women decide not to have kids, or to have fewer kids, is also influencing older women to eschew the expectations on them as grandmothers. When they decide they won't help with grandchildren and won't be the doting maternal figure that grandmothers are traditionally expected to be, this might feel to them like a feminist assertion of their liberation. Especially if they wound up becoming mothers without ever being given other choices, resented the role, and now see younger women avoiding that altogether. [/quote]
