From kids soccer, back to school nights, SAT tutors, 21 birthday parties, play dates, paying for everything including college.
What was point of any of it without grandkids?
Lonely sad life for me at an empty Thanksgiving table with no one to even leave my stuff too.
What was point of having kids, what was even point of career or big house?
I got news for you, no one wants your stuff. Most of it will end up at Goodwill
+1000 please get rid of your stuff before you die! No One wants it!
I'm one of three and no one wants it.
Especially give up on the China. It's worth nothing, it's ugly and dated, and holds no value.

The junk in the house they will hold estate sale and put the rest in dumpsters. I know that. Kids today are not sentimental or want stuff that is not digital.
But at least my house, my beach house, my cars, my cash, stocks, bonds will be passed on. Not given to the Govt to be squandered on crack heads and welfare mamas
Honestly, what are you going on about? I have no children but will leave my money to my nieces and nephew, not “crack heads and welfare mamas.”
I have 13 Nieces and Nephews why would I give them squat? Unless they are wiping my ass and feeding me on my death bed they are not deserving. I have not seen some of them in several years.
My MIL her 9 grandkids are 14-38. She is 82 and in perfect health. By time she dies her great grandkids will be best choice for estate. even her grandkids won’t need the money.

Now here are some genes that definitely should NOT have been passed down.

You sound like a nightmare. They have to copy your life choices? Start spending.
Round the clock nursing care is expensive. I would make sure you have money for that.

They just want the status symbol of telling their friends how many grandkids they have and don't want to help out current parents in a world that has made it much harder to raise children than they experienced.
Why should we help out? Our parents did not help us neither did any previous generation parents since dawn of time.
My grandparents had 8 kids and we lived 3,000 miles away yet somehow my mom had four kids and me three kids. Today the precious snowflakes wit two kids except both grandparents helping, daycare, babysitters, after school programs, summer camps. Raise your own damn kids.
All I ask, marry well, have 2-3 kids, buy a house and have me over thanksgiving, Xmas, kids birthday parties. I am not your servant. I raises my kids.
Up until around the 1950s it was very commonplace for families to be multi-generational with kids, parents, siblings, grandparents and even great-grandparents living in the same home or maybe a little family compound or at least within just a mile or two of one another.
You see many economists and sociologists now scorning when the idea of the "nuclear" family took off such that it was two parents and 2-3 kids living independently, with no family close by. Covid has decimated the childcare business so it restricts parents joining the workforce. They are now proposing that people should reconsider the multi-generational living arrangement because you have many different adults to help one another, babysit kids, help with aging parents, etc.
Not true. Both my parents grew up on farms. Tradition is oldest son gets farm the rest gets thrown out. My
Mothers father died when she was 14 and older brother got farm and he shipped her off. My father the oldest son got farm and off he went. It was more cruel in history. And both older sons tossed their mom out. It was their farm.
So, I said it was commonplace not universal. I bet if you research the history of farming families, your family is probably an outlier since most family farms rely on the extended family to stay in existence.
Different pp here, from the south, and only one boy (or one son in law, if there weren't boys) got my ancestors farms as well. None relied on extended family at all, they usually relied on their kids. And it worked out until all the kids got tired of being unpaid farm labor and fled to cities around WWI.

Well, OP, this means end of your particular DNA being passed on and end of your line. No immortality for you. But, if you consider how many people die young, never have kids etc...is it such a tragedy? Enjoy and explore life and do good. That is the point of life. It is not much deeper than that.

GOOD FOR YOU. That was a choice YOU made. You're not a martyr. Stop playing the victim.
