i just got back from my bday party that my mom and grandparents threw for me...it was nice but all i hear the whole time was "when are you going to get married and have some grandkids" they were more interested in when i was going to have kids...lol...i told them that its easy to have kids...the hard part was finding the right girl to spend the rest of my life with...does anyone else have this problem?...lol

I used to at family weddings. My aunts' would always ask when it will be my turn? So at the last funeral I was at, I went to my aunt..... when is it going to be your turn?

ha ha...thats so wrong...lol...i dont think i could do that tho...might come true and i would feel soooo bad

I have a kid so now all my family ask is when I'm going to move out lol

ill ask my grandparents if they want me to have a kid and move in with them or not have a kid and not live with them....lol

..i've never had a birthday party...

I bet that will finally get them to stop asking! Lol

its always worth a shot...lol

It's nice to look to the future and it's possibilities, but
everyone should enjoy the time that they have with that person
and let their life play out as it's supposed to in it's own time
and way.

You must be too cool for a birthday party huh?

My older daughter's boyfriend didn't either until last year when
I threw him one...he cried. He has gradually become like one of us
and he always says that he feels closer to us than his own family.

are there any little ones in your extended family that your parents etc can spoil? seems like that's what they are waiting for now that you are all grown up

Oh the good ole days of being spoiled! How I miss them so!

I've never wanted kids. The one and only time my Mom asked me about kids, I said, "You want grandkids so badly YOU have them!"

She never bothered me again.

I it find objectionable when people that think procreation is the only station in life and push their beliefs on others. Just because it’s a good idea for them doesn’t mean the whole world wants to breed too.

Tell them to mind their own business.

BTW, you are right on target about finding the right girl first. If a person can't even manage a life-long partnership than they certainly can't manage a commitment in having kids with an ovary or sperm donor.

well said!

they do have grandkids...but they are all on my grandmothers side (not real grandmother...she died when i was young)...nobody on my grandpas side of the family has kids yet...its kind of funny actually...guess we are all afraid the kids will grow up to be like us...lol

No, they've given up. Actually, they never did--they always figured when it was right, it would happen. I'm lucky that way

Marriage is over rated...get a dog and stay single

cant wait till i get that lucky

I read over your profile. I am a graduate student and plan on going on to get my PhD. So take it from a single mother that is doing this, wait until you are firmly into your doctoral program before even thinking about starting a family.

Don't let them pressure you! Just keep reminding them that you are focused on your education (and future career) and when the right person comes along, then they will get grandbabies, until then tough luck!

Keep doing what you are doing! Best wishes to you!
