[quote=Anonymous]  I think some of our parents had kids because it was what everyone did and it was expected culturally and societally. Many of us had kids because we truly wanted them. I notice the parents growing up in my family and among friends who truly loved parenting are iinvolved grandparents. The ones who suffered through it aren't.

Dogs are easier for many. They seem to provide unconditional love as long as feed them, walk them, pet them and play some. SNL had a skit years ago about what your dog would say if they could talk and they made some dogs very judgmental :).

My mother could dish it but could not take it. She was very critical, but you were not allowed to voice anything, but adoration. She also never get help for her mental health and forced us to play not really therapist, but just person to vent to and agree with her at all times. I knew she would not be a help or interested in grandparenting and accepted that, but when I helped her as she aged nothing was enough. The entitlement became too much when I had an ill husband too.
