Recently I (25m) was talking to my parents over the phone and like always the topic of me not wanting kids came up. My parents have known I don’t want kids for a while now and have given me all the classic bingos to try and change my mind. Usually they are pretty calm when talking to me but this time they told me things like my wife would leave me, no one would love me when I’m old, and then the quote in the title. For context I started going to therapy a few weeks ago for severe anxiety and depression. When they said that to me I tried to tell them not wanting kids is not an irrational thought but a personal choice that I had solid reasons for. Of course they didn’t care to hear it and continued to argue with me. At that point I was so hurt that I was speechless and made up an excuse to end the call. I just feel really sad right now because I feel like my parents only value me to give them grandchildren and carry on the family name. I know they wanted me to have kids but I didn’t know how strongly they felt until this conversation. I hope they still love me when I’m older and still don’t have kids.
