But you still had another son or daughter who had many children?

I want my boys to have wonderful, fulfilling lives. If children aren't in those plans, I would be disappointed for me but happy for them.
I'd love to be a grandma one day but if either or both of my sons decide that they don't want to be parents, I will respect and be happy for their choices. I'll just do what my own mom did when I hit 25 and hadn't given her a baby yet ... I'll get a puppy! *lol*

I wouldn't be disappointed, there should be a reason for them not to have familly yet!!! I for example have 2 kids and one in the way .I'm the oldest in my familly I have a brother who's 25 not maried and no kids and then I have a sis who's 19 also not married no kids and my parents are happy with my kids... They rather have my brother and sister single than married with someone they don't love and that will only cause problems like my brothers girlfriend, she is special and you can't trust her much for the things that she had done, but there is something about her that my brother migth like cuz he still with her but not married and no kids and I personally think is better this way !!! bUt I guess a son's and daugther's should have a familly because they really want and not because you will be disappointed !!!

I would not be too disappointed. I would want what is best for each of my children.
I would be disappointed if none had any children, but I wouldn't make a big deal about it. people have to do what's right for them in their own time. Children shouldn't be expected to do as their parents wish all their lives. When they are adults, it is time for them to fulfill their dreams and desires and to live their lives as they wish.

I love my daughters for who they are not for the number of children they may or may not have..My love for them is not measured by the fact they have children or not.Disappointed,never.You can not miss what you don't have but you can still love the grandchildren you do have. Each one a delight and a unique joy.

I wouldn't be. If he or she was happy then I would be happy. I would still have grandchildren so that wouldn't be a problem. I think if my child made a decision not to have children I would be proud of him/her. At least they were not using abortion as birth control. I think you have to look at all the other things your child can do "wrong" and pick which ones will affect how you feel.

Probably it is their choice or not their choice. I do know the circustances. Ithink sometimes that parents want their children to have children so they can have grandchildren so they can be young again. Just be happy withwhatever your children decide to do with their lives. You only get one chance to see your family happy.

Not at all. That's their choice. They have to live with it not me.
I feel family is great, and needed for me, but everyone is different.
They still have us, and their sisters
