I feel that my relationship changed with my parents cause I don't want to have children?

[Anonymous]

Is this normal for this to happen? Like I understand they still love me but I feel they are unhappy with my decision, all my siblings have kids and they don't like the fact that I don't want kids, my sister even said she wanted to make a distance after I get married to that somebody one day, not sure what she meant by that.

Well first off let me say happy birthday. It's possible that your relationship has changed because of your parents judgment of you. Don't do something you don't want to do because of others want you to do it. They are trying to guilt you into giving them more grandchildren. I don't understand why they would do that when they already have grandchildren from the other siblings. Go live your life and make yourself happy,

I think that's fairly normal. Especially if they really wanted grandchildren. I know that my mom has been hounding me about giving her grandchildren for years, and she would be heartbroken if I told her that that wasn't going to happen.

I would be more surprised if that conversation didn't change our relationship, honestly.

I don't have children but my brother 35 does have four children; two girls (5/8) and two sons (13/15). I think my 2 nephews and 2 nieces are enough as far as grandchildren go for my parents. Your parents should just respect you not wanting children. Not everyone needs to have children or be forced into feeling guilty for not.

Then that's on them, its not like they don't already have grand kids.

They wanna be grandfather&mother for ur babies!!
Its a nice fealing for them before death.. and sorry for saing it..

They’ve already got other grandchildren, and making children for your parents to be grandparents is NOT a good reason to have kids - selfishness on the grandparents part there

[In_Trance]

Have you talked to them about it?

[Asker]

Is this normal?

Your life, your decision.
