Warum will meine Mutter Enkelkinder?

For parents, this is a romantic idea when the children also have children. They see their family growing there. They don’t just disappear after death, but they see that their genetics exist somewhere else and maybe not everything is lost when they’re gone. It may remain family rituals, or the good name remains in memory.

I’m just seeing this at my FB group from my old home. The younger find photos on the attic, post this and the older people who are around the 50/60, who can start with the people on the pictures and then revel in memories. And every place has its special names that live in this area. These are families who have lived there for generations and are proud of that.

Now imagine you have such a name rooted with the city. Where there are not so many of you. It is obvious that the grandparents want a child, so that the good name is preserved.

And then the romantic ideas always go there that you can make a bit of the mistakes that you let your child go through, or if the parents have a bad conscience that they were too strict, they will overthrow your child with allowance. Or or…. the reason is there many.

My family also gave the trenches. My parents died without grandchildren. They screwed up with me, and my brother can’t have children because of his disability. I’m starting to get kids out of age. In ten years, my child could tell Grandma to me. That’s not worth it anymore. And I don’t have a bell either. I learned a job with children. And when I see the parents of today’s children, I think you did everything right.

Don’t worry. Your mother can wish grandchildren and she will wish grandchildren, and she will certainly continue to annoy you with the subject. But it’s your life and your decision.
