With the loss of our son to suicide, and the estrangement of our daughter, we’re kind of in the same boat. We do have two beautiful grandsons, but are not allowed to participate in their lives. It’s very difficult for my wife and I to see our contemporaries celebrating their grandchildren, especially at this time of year.
Let the Leftist schools raise your kids and (often) you can kiss-off becoming a grandparent. But what the hell, public school is FREE, so that’s all that matters. Right?
I’m sorry, that’s got to be a tough row to hoe. Hopefully your grandsons will want to know you with passage of time
Thanks - I hope so. My daughter and son-in-law are very smart, successful folks, so I’m pretty sure they’re being brought up right. My wife sends them cards and letters (to our address) - so in case we don’t see them before we croak, they’ll at least know they had another set of grandparents.
I have 14 grandchildren. Christmas is expensive but thats the only downside. It’s made up for with hundreds of hugs, and text messages and fun times. ( i had five children so 14 is normal)
Screwed up women should bring one child into the world. It’s their calling. Married women should bring in two. Stable couples should have 3+ kids.
Sound neanderthal? No. Its the way things should be. How do the screwed up women get their help? Answer: It takes a village. You heard it here first.
Our 2 oldest were private Christian schooled ($$$) and no grandchildren yet (one has been married 4 years, the other is on the verge of engagement). It’s the economy AND the culture. Our youngest, and the most conservative (homeschooled) GenZer will probably be more inclined to have lots of kids depending on what happens the next few years. But we aren’t getting any younger in the meantime LOL.
PS- Every one of our nieces/nephews have kids and they went to public school LOL. So your theory???
So very sorry for the unimaginable loss of your dear son. And prayers for the estrangement issues.
I have a dear friend who never was able to have children. She said once that both situations (childless/able to have children) brings blessings AND sadness.
Big hugs.
Son is 40, obvious he will never marry. Daughter married last month, her children will have his name of course. My children will be the last generation with my last name, a name which I have traced back to the 900s in Norman France. It is sad.
The culture is sick. Movies used to always end with the couple living happily ever after in a small cottage with a white picket fence and 2.3 children
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THERE IS A NUMERICAL LOSS OF KIDS???
WILL THOSE CALLS== “MY GRANDKIDS” IN JAIL NEEDING BAIL $$$ CEASE?
I HA NO KIDS-—so this is a total scam.
They can mourn it, but they can’t righteously demand it.
Especially considering that they raised the young adults who are passing on parenthood.
Y U askin’ me?
“So your theory???”
Exceptions, as I noted prior. Overall, if you are brainwashed to think humans are DESTROYING the planet, then it only makes sense to not add to the problem.
Some kids (as adults) say F-that, I want kids around when I get old. Good for them, but they get ZERO SUPPORT when the Globalists control their upbringing.
Civilizations end when women refuse to have children.
what’s wrong with you?... you always find something to complain about today’s society... look on the bright side about these people having enough common sense to not need an abortion... geez... there’s no pleasing you hypocrites...
They raised them…so they at least have partial responsibility to their lack of grandkids and the end of their gene pool
Solution-boarding schools M-F. Parents can be parents on weekends. Those who work weekends can spend their off days at the school volunteering. This would be best for the screwed up single parents. They can work 50-60 hours per week and not worry about their kids. While the kid(s) are in school they can be cat ladies. Freedom, hard work. A tough life but the kids could learn.
