We’ve 2 adult children both no interest in having children. This makes me feel incredibly sad but obviously we are all different.
Who has gone through this? How did you accept it?

If you dont have any children/grandchildren you can take pride in the fact that you have not selfishly added to the carbon burden of the planet.

As long as you don't drive a car....dont take flights to go on holiday....and eat a vegan diet 🙄

I have 4 grandchildren but let me tell you, it’s not always a bed of roses! What a path to navigate - biting your tongue over the way your children are bringing up their children, being taken advantage of or made to feel guilty that you’re not doing enough when you simply want to do your things too. Throw autism into the mix and there you go - nothing like the Moonpig ad depictions of the gorgeous grandparent/child/grandchild relationships! Just don’t buy into the stereotype and live your best life.
