00:00You know, I'm turning 30 soon.
00:01I already had two children by the time I was 30.
00:04Hey, I'm Kim.
00:05And I'm Grandma Gail.
00:06You bring the dilemma, we bring the advice.
00:09Welcome to Excuse My Advice.
00:12My parents talk about future grandchildren as if it's a given,
00:16and each comment makes me feel more pressured.
00:19How do I tell them I don't want children?
00:21Oh, that I don't know.
00:22I think it's a very normal thing for a parent to want grandchildren.
00:27But if you definitely don't want children, you should really discuss it with your parents alone
00:31and say, listen, a family is not going to be part of the situation.
00:36Let them know out front.
00:38That's a personal decision.
00:40And I think it's when you're going to have children.
00:43It's not if you're going to have children.
00:44A lot of people don't want children.
00:46Okay, okay.
00:47So I think that...
00:49Well, then their wishes have to be respected.
00:51You know, I'm turning 30 soon, but I have some time, whether she thinks so or not.
00:56And I know you were more traditional and had kids in your 20s.
01:00I already had two children by the time I was 30.
01:02Different situation.
01:03But nowadays we know there's like so much flexibility.
01:06So I am currently not in a rush.
01:08First get married, then we'll talk about children.
01:10One step at a time.
01:11One step at a time.
01:13Modern problems.
01:14Classic solutions.
01:16Got a situation?

01:18Send it in.
