Many times I’ve heard parents say if their children didn’t have children, they would be devastated. It’s considered, by many, as the icing on the cake of parenting. They’ve given so many years, time and money to raise their own. It’s almost an expected pay-back because they want to have the status of being a grandparent , enjoying the fun of grandchildren and feel acceptance from their peers.
Are you a grandparent or do you expect to become a grandparent? How would you feel if your child told you they can’t have or don’t want to have children of their own?
If you have grandchildren, have they been a blessing or are you disappointed? In my book, “Confessions of a Childless Woman” I share deeply shocking reality as it relates to my husband’s children and grandchildren.
