[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You had the opportunity to decide whether you wanted to parent. That comes once, if you are lucky.

You don't get two opportunities to make that call (once for you and once for them).  Accept that that time in your life has passed.

[b]Do volunteer work with children.  There are many in need of love and responsible role models.[/b][/quote]

This. There are lots of ways to scratch that itch.[/quote]

NP It really doesn't  change the paradigm...the family just stops. No family gatherings,  vacations at the beach. Never though this would be it. [/quote]

Why can't you vacation and gather with your children. ..[/quote]

That's what I don't understand, don't you have adult children and other family to vacation with, gather with.  If you aren't doing those things now that probably won't change once grand kids come along.[/quote]

You really do not get it. Yes, we can go to the beach with our kids. This has NOTHING to do with having grandchildren. Your world view is amazingly limited.  [/quote]

But your response to the suggestion to gather with your children was basically, “what’s the point?”  I don’t have kids, and if I knew my parents felt that way about me, I’d just not bother seeing them, like, ever. Luckily my parents enjoy seeing me, their child, so we have a close and loving relationship. I doubt you can say the same, with your attitude.[/quote]
