    You’re not obligated to have children - just like your dad isn’t obligated to leave you an inheritance.

      Exactly.

      So why are my boomer parents so insistent about grandkids?

      It’s expensive enough for just 2 of us to live. Why bring a 3rd into the situation?

        The discussion wasn’t about them being insistent on grandkids - it was about you being insistent on inheritance. If you think they’re being unreasonable, then it’s worth recognizing that your own insistence might be just as unreasonable.

          I don’t expect inheritance from him.

          Honestly, I don’t know why I haven’t gone no contact with him yet.

            After reading your whiny entitled posts, sounds to me like you’d be doing him a favor if you did.
