    My kids don’t want kids. I’m cool with that. It’s not my decision and I’m definitely not interested in playing grandma daycare.

      Neither me nor my sister really want kids, but my parents want to be grandparents. Makes for some awkward family dinners

        Lots of single parents out there with no support.

        Maybe we need a big brother/sister program, but for grandparents.

        The decision is much too big to let anyone pressure you one way or another. It’s totally okay for you to want what you want, and it’s okay for that to change throughout your life.

        Same, but they only want grandchildren as facebook sex trophies. No interest in babysitting or being supportive in any other meaningful way.

        They were able to raise children on a single salary without leaning on family for childcare, so why can’t we? Surely nothing has changed over the last 30-40 years.
