Comment on Why are parents so obsessed with the idea of their kids "settling down"?
Geodad@lemm.ee 1 day agoYeah, and what if I choose not to have kids to save my money?
It’s my money, not his.

You’re not obligated to have children - just like your dad isn’t obligated to leave you an inheritance.

Exactly.
So why are my boomer parents so insistent about grandkids?
It’s expensive enough for just 2 of us to live. Why bring a 3rd into the situation?

The discussion wasn’t about them being insistent on grandkids - it was about you being insistent on inheritance. If you think they’re being unreasonable, then it’s worth recognizing that your own insistence might be just as unreasonable.

I don’t expect inheritance from him.
Honestly, I don’t know why I haven’t gone no contact with him yet.
