You will never have a grandchild wrap their arms around you and hear, "I love you, Mimi." Priceless. Grandchildren are God's special reward for having been a parent.

I have stepchildren. They were grown when I married. I fully expect to have a Step-Grandchild. But if I don't, that would be ok too.

Or cry when you get out of your daughter's car after an excursion.

Why is it so important to you that Hildy feel bad about her decision? :)

My wife and I hope that our kids never make us old worn out grandparents...see there is some good reasons to be older parents.

You are a very cruel person. Some women can't have kids or have not been in a situation to adopt.

Your comment is terribly, terribly smug and cruel!!!

"Priceless. Grandchildren are God's special reward for having been a parent."

Maybe. My parents only had one child, and I am rapidly approaching 40 with no prospects for having kids anytime soon, nor am I certain that I would want to at this point in my life. I feel bad for my Mom (my Dad passed away nearly 10 years ago) that she doesn't get to have grandkids. Of course, she could have improved her chances by having more than 1 child, too. Life doesn't always work out like you thought it would.
