I can understand why some people choose to not have children. What I cannot understand is why they would choose to miss out on the most joyous part of their lives, when the grandchildren come along and make up for all the sacrifices earlier in life. I have never experienced so much joy in my life as I have with my granddaughter, and the no doubt the next one, due to arrive this week.

I love the phrase "If I had known grandchildren were so much fun, I would have had them first!"

I'm 36 and unmarried. That strikes me as a great reason not to have children.

My father always said that Grandchildren were your reward for not killing your own.
