I'm Gen-X and couldn't afford kids, so... grand kids are really, really not on the menu.

GenX. Probably won't have grandkids. Ok with it either way- it's not my decision.

Same.

yeah I won't because I did not have any kids like any sensible person nowadays.

Listen. My parents never gave me a little brother. So I'm just fine not giving them grandkids.
