    Because many childless middle aged people regret not having kids. Without kids, what the big thing going on in your life? A mediocre career, a small luxury every now and again? Picking up hobby after hobby, trying to fill a hole that just refuses to be filled by distractions?

    Life becomes a book without a plot.

    They see themselves in you, you making the aame mistakes they made. And they want to keep the cycle from repeating.

      Because many middle aged parents regret having kids. With kids, how can you do anything with your life? A career you hate but can’t leave because you have mouths to feed. Not being able to have any hobbies because between work and sleep all your time is consumed with your kid’s hobbies.
