LOL
40, single, do what I want, and every second week I show up at my folks place with some sort of new Motorcycle / Car / Man toy / Girl Friend. And all they ever say is ,"As long as you are happy is all that matters to us."
Sure my mother would love to see me get married one day, and my dad seems to get more envious of my lifestyle by the year.... I don't know how that last one makes me feel, lol since it kinda implies he regrets having me. But at the end of the day, all they care is I am happy, and doing what I want with my life. That is how parents are supposed to act IMO, and exactly how I will treat my kids if I ever have them.
Times are very different now, and IMO a lot of people that are 27 are nowhere near mature enough mentally or financially yet to have kids. Forcing someone to have kids at a certain age for that matter, can lead to disastrous results for an unwanted kid, and is an extremely selfish and self centred move by a grandparent.
