Up to 18 my mum was insistent that I be absolutely stable before having kids. Then until I was 25 she was riding me about grandkids. That ended when I flipped my shit and told her to fuck off with that. Now I'm spitting distance from 40 and in a way wish I'd settled down earlier. Fertility struggles fucking blow.
Countdown to mpreg
If they wanted grandkids, they shouldn't have scared off every single girl I ever brought to dinner with their bullshit.
This but with friends not family members.
Why are they so invested?
It's just two of my friends who are like this tbh. And don't get me wrong, even though they are supportive and loyal, they can be emotional and shallow when they are not in the right frame of mind at a given time. All in all, they are kinda conformist and parochial. They are the only ones in our core group who didn't move out of town or went abroad. I noticed that people who moved out are more open-minded. I only have one friend left whom I can talk to more sincerely, but he is on another side of the country, although we meet up on occasions.
