my kids are all furbabies. two of them have produced kittens. two of those kittens are still alive. there is a maiden aunt among them as well. they're all elderly. i have never had human kids and i am old now. i don't think i would have been a good parent. i think i would be a good one now, but it's a moot point.

I have 4 grandkids. I've always told my daughter I'd never live close enough to babysit.

If my kids want kids, then yes, I too want them. I am ambivalent though, can take it or leave it.

None yet and none planned I know of.

My daughter absolutely does not want to have children and won't.

My son and daughter-in-law do plan to have children and are expecting their first in March.

My daughter (32) doesn't have children and isn't entirely sure she wants them. I would love grandchildren, but only if it's right for her. She is currently without a partner and is not sure she'll find a man before her biological clock's alarm goes off. She's a physician and has had difficulty finding men who can handle her schedule, and (and this blows my mind) many men are bothered by the large size of her income. I raised her alone so she knows it's a possibility -- and I raised her on a lot less money than she would have available. I've told her if she wants to go it alone I'm there to help as much as she wants. But it's entirely her call.

Sometimes
Yes, under favorable circumstances

I have a son and daughter their mid to late twenties and neither seem interested in having children. I am fine with that. Bringing more people to the mix doesn't seem to be a solution to anything. And today we are in need of lots of solutions.

Yes.
One doesn't, one is 4 and the other is 2.
Yes I do.

About 20 years ago my daughter asked me if I would be mad/disappointed if she didn’t have any children. Your life your decision. No I won’t mad or disappointed. It’s her life to live not mine. She has cats. They are my grand kitties.

No
Eventually(well one of them anyway)
Before i am too old to play football with them,yes, but doesn't look like that's gonna happen ?

I have two grandsons (11 & 7). My son waffledon having more. Had a vasectomy after the second one, had it reversed after him and his wife got into some goofy religious stuff after he got caught cheating on her. Then he had a second vasectomy last year thanks to my second grandson proved to be a handful! ?

Yes, and at 11 she wants a phone first, and when shes an adult, I'll let her choose. I'm ambivalent on the issue.

I have one kid. One more than I wanted. He has none and doesn't want any.

I have absolutely no desire for grandchildren.

I have 3 kids and 3 grandkids, they mean everything to me. My oldest with the 3 grandkids in pic. Isn't life really all about keeping your DNA going? Who am I to break a chain that most likely has lasted for billions of years?

Love my grandkids...

I would love to have grandkids, but I don't yet, even though I'm 63. My oldest married woman who already had kids, but they are grown, so it doesn't feel like "grandkids" because of that, and because they aren't related to me. My other son is married but has no kids yet, and I don't think he's ready for that anyway. And my daughter is only 21.

Yes, yes and yes.... It's just beautiful when it's payback time to send the little monster back to my daughter when he gets nasty. It's all in good fun, my daughter get the joke and laugh with me

I have two grown daughters, two grandsons, one granddaughter, and one great-grandson.

I have two amazing Daughters and an 18 y/o Grandson who already sky dives and is off to College on a full scholarship. I am a proud parent and my fam rocks. ❤

I want to but... they know I will have dirt on my grandchildren parents so they will wait, and wait for me to go. Sad shame, I was a Master at building forts out of furniture and bedspreads. And could keep a Secret.

I want grandkids. I’ll never have grandkids. My contribution to the gene pool is over, my branch has fallen.

I have 2 boys and a girl. My girl just had her first a few days ago. One of my boys plans to have kids later in life, the other isn't sure yet. I want them all to do whatever makes them happy.

Congrats!
