I May Never Have Grandchildren :(
« on: July 27, 2016, 11:41:46 AM »
My son has been married for a few months and while I knew they do not want children now, I assumed that a few years down the road they might start a family. The other day my son informed me that as soon as he turns 25 (he's 22 now) he wants to have a vasectomy. This really saddens me even though I know it is their choice completely. My daughter is only 14 right now and she has always said she does not ever want to get married, much less have a child. So, I am thinking there is a good possibility that I will never have any grandchildren. :(

I know this must upset you.  However, there are plenty of kids that need good grandparents.  Go out and adopt a few.  By that I mean, go volunteer at a local elementary school and get to know a few kids that need you.  They may not be yours but they sure will love you like they are yours.

I think I have somewhat replaced my hope for a grandchild with my love for dogs. We now have three little house dogs and they truly bring me so much joy. I adopted two Chihuahuas from a friend who has cancer and had not been able to care for them for a long time and I also took in a Chiweenie puppy from a family that was definitely not giving her the right care. So, if I never get a grandchild, there are always plenty of doggies that need someone to love and spoil them.

Have you tried talking to them about the reasons for not wanting children? I agree that it's kind of strange, but it's their rights to decide after all. I'm glad to hear that adopted kids or pets can help, though.

There is so much around us that can bring us love and joy in our lives but only if we chose to focus on it. If you decide to make a big issue out of the fact that you may never have grandchildren, then you are dooming yourself to a very lonely and depressed life. I say focus on the positive only right now.

He's 22?   And says what he is doing 3 years from now?  Now that's funny.  Shucks we cant say what we'll be doing in a month, much less years.  Besides they say there are 3 opinions to every subject.   1)Yours
2)Mine
3) God's..
Now we know who wins that!   :13:

Seriously I would be very glad that your 14 year-old doesn't want children. She's still a child herself! Once she has grown up she may make other choices, you don't know. As far as your son is concerned, a lot of things can happen in three years.

The best thing is not to dwell on it. If you can make your life happy regardless than any grandchildren are a bonus on top. Spoil those Chihuahua's rotten!
