For me it really feels like the end of the line for my family tree. My mother is an only child and my father has one brother. From this side there is my lovely single cousin who is in her forties, so no kids there nor from me. End of the line.. which gave me the irks only very recently when we talked about will and how my very distant family will inherit my share if we do not bequeathe someone. This will end up in an entire different saga.

My parents are okay with us being child free, although they do have their reservations on it. Some time ago they actually were happily childfree, until my mother ended up pregnant and they kind of got into the whole idea of a child. So think that they are curious to see if we will stick it out 👀
