The American Family Is a Myth: Why Our National Moral Panic Must Stop

[HockeyMom]

2. "Your choice to NOT have children, trumps my choice

to be a Grandma". My Mom said that to me before I married in 1974. I suppose she was ahead of her time, but then, I am an ONLY child Boomer (by choice) and my parents went against society's norms back in the late 40s.

I have two (number decided before marrying) daughters, 30 and 35. We heard constantly "when are you going to try for a BOY? We wanted "only" two, not 3, 4, etc, just trying for a boy. "I like GIRLS", husband used to say. lol

Both my daughters are married. My younger daughter just had a son. Will she have more? That is totally up to her and her husband. I said to her when she married the same thing my Mom said to me. Actually, being a Only Child is not a bad thing, anyway. Personally, I enjoyed it. Her FIL is ALSO an Only.

My younger daughter is married to a woman. I know they want to have IVF, but that is far more difficult, and expensive. Again, whatever she and her wife decides to do is fine with me.

You cannot live your children's lives for them. Support them in their life choices.
