[quote=Anonymous]I'm where you are, OP, and I deeply empathize. I have four adult kids ranging in age from 25 to 35, and no grandkids. DH and I are sad about it, and my mom is 85 with no great-grands even though she has a total of 9 grandchildren.

DD 35 - won't be having kids; single for the time being and also uninterested in having children, though she loves spending time with her friends' kids

DS 31 - doesn't date, asexual, won't be having kids

DD 30 - recently married - my only hope :D but unlikely for a while if ever

DD 25 - doesn't date, single, says she'll have kids one day but has social anxiety and might not date for a long long time

My sister has four adult kids as well, and they're all married. The reasons for not having kids range from disinterest to health reasons (cancer). Then my son has an adult kid, and he's unmarried and not interested in kids.

I have childfree friends and have always supported the idea that you don't need to follow a script & do the whole marriage-house-kids thing. But at the same time, I never imagined none of my kids would have children!

DH and I are retiring this year and will take the time to travel & spend time with our aging parents for now. Hopefully at least one grandchild will come our way within the decade.[/quote]
