Curios as to how not having grandkids changes the family structure?
My dad doesn’t interact much with his grandkids (mine and my sibling’s kids). I men’s it would have been good for him to be closer to them and more involved but ultimately he is just not capable of it for a bunch of reasons

I'm not positive about it, no, never will be. But, I have accepted it.

Family is a lot more important than being a fighter pilot, moron.
Then OP can adopt some kids, or volunteer with some. It's not responsible for one person to have a baby so someone else can see it for a few hours each weekend at best, and brag about it to their friends. Again, you don't get to control what other people do with their reproductive systems.
Stop- it is not the same. It isn't a family structure just volunteering. Not at all a substitute. It's not about being around little kids or whatever you think this issue is.

No way.
Heathcare for women and children after 2026 non existent thank you project 2025
Pro birth party and breeding homes not for my daughters no
Everyone thinks their time was the worst to bring a child into. You wouldn't be here if people made this decision in the great depression or WW2.

Not the same comparisons. Not having grandchildren changes one's life structure and family structure. It changes everything. No we cannot control our children's reproductive choices or status, but that doesn't mean we cannot be sad.

We will not be and over time have come to terms with it. Yes, it changed the perception of how the last third of our lives would be. Sad, but accepting.
