If none of your kids end up having kids, do you consider that a waste of time?

[Leme2]

If none of your kids end up having kids of their own is the time you spent raising them wasted since they didn't continue your genetic lineage?

Yes, it was a waste if time.

No, kids aren't just for continuing your genetic lineage.

Sounds like something I should ask my Dad. Neither me or my sister are married, nor do we have kids; we're 32 and 31.

I remember my Dad one time saying, "I'd like to have Grandkids before I die", immediately got upset. It's something I wish I could give him.

Not to me. If they don't want to have kids, it will be their choice. I won't have a saying on that.

I would like grandkids. But if my kids didn't want kids I wouldn't consider it a waste. That's not the only reason to have kids

Makes me think of Henry the 8th. None of his kids survived to have kids
