Are you one of those who want grandchildren just to pass on the genes and name?
If you recognize this name and saw my previous questions, you’ll know that I’m childfree for many reasons.
1) Do you want grandchildren to pass on the name and the genes? How would you fee if any of your kids never wanted children?
2) When you had children, did you have them so they could take care of your when you’re older?
3) How would you feel if your son decided to change his surname?
I have two daughters and NO, I do not expect them to take care of me when I get on in years. What kind of life is that for them to look forward to? I think it would be very selfish of me to give them that burden in the prime of their lives.
Sure, I would like grandchildren. Not for the namesake, not to show other Grandma’s the annoying photos, but to just enjoy them. If my daughters decide not to have children, I would be fine with that. I support them.
