how bout 'no'.
It's true any loving grandparents will want to participate and this do help, but It's not the grandparents 'task' per se.
They can participate when they are willing and available, but it should not be expected to.
Congratulations.
It's a reflection of you and your partner for being lovely and caring.
Of course personality is a thing that born with, she's naturally more lovely but that is only 1 side of a human being, and human are much more complex.
Be ready to find out in other department that she's lacking and ready to help her with those, like she could be later on too soft, afraid of confrontation, lack of competitiveness, unambitious and prefer stable life. (Im not saying she is, just example and not necessarily a bad thing also if she' cruising well in life).
What i meant is people wont be perfect, don't be contended for how lovely she is now, but still strive to give her guidance in all ways of life, so she can be great and well balanced.

Happy for you.
most likely the parents are charsiew too.
Charsiew doesnt grow one day, is a bbq'ing process of continuously many many years.
I've been observing many many years, people been roasting charsiew themselves, and guess who have to face the consequences the most?

I'll say it is not compulsory because the present generation may need to respect the elder generation decision also. If the previous generation not willing, then the present generation must be ready for more tougher environment when raising their own kids.

That's why I mentioned, if you have the elder generation who are willing to do anything for their grand children, you will be the most blessed couple.

regret not having baby at old age or regret have a baby during young age?

which regret runs deeper?

The former will never admit regret, to "save face". They will tell others at least they have freedom.

Funeral isn't for the dead, it's for the living.

I concur and am in the same boat. At least I haven't irrevocably traumatized the life of another like my parents and grandparents.

u see one retirement home u think all kids are char siew?

without kids, definitely u need to go retirement home if you need attentive care.
or you are rich enough, u can hire full time nurse at home.

with kids, there is 50/50 chance your kids will take care of you.
it depends on how you bring up your kids.
you just ignore the kids of course the kids wont take care of you.
*
How do u know that your kids will take care of you?

I've talked some of the senior citizen among chinese people, they are so proud telling me all of their kids are living & working overseas, while they are rotting here and depends on relatives help.

Their kids only come back once a year or no come back for a long period of time

Clearly their kids don't even care much about them. I'm sure going back to Malaysia for the currency they earn is just peanut to them.

That's not something to be proud at all.

First few months when my son was born I almost fell into depression because of the sudden change in my life. I did have regrets.

But now I’m glad I have him in my life. He is 1 year 5 months now and he’s the most important person in my life. Seeing him after a tough day at work truly makes me happy.

Is he annoying sometimes? Yes especially when he’s having a tantrum. But at the end of the day I absolutely love having him in my life.

Sad right? More people gather when die rather than gather during living to enjoy the moment.

The dead gives no fuck about funeral.

Humans are truly confused being.

On one hand people shout, it is not OK to expect your kids to take care of  you. They have their lives to live.

On the other hand same people shout, oh look that that poor old person alone in old folks home. See I told you having kids is a waste of time.

too bad we are asians. if we are like angmoh and can kick the kids out of the house right when they are 18 then yes can have zero expectations from children.

the thing about asian families (esp chinese) are most of them couldnt care less on being taken care of their kids in the future after being old

their job is to raise their kids well so they would have a better life than their parents. then their parents will happily call it a day

it sucks really, but this is the reality. they view it as the "parent's responsibilities to their child"

ofc nowadays modern thinking are differing

how about naturally conceive? how long have you tried? did you and your wife went for medical check up to see whether both are healthy enough to conceive?

for me, i went for TCM medication for about a year before a success conceive. probably you should give a try. if you need a recommendation, please PM me

Correct. If the kids are charsiew, it's the parent's fault. Always, without fail, no ifs and buts.

Kids mimic their parents, you don't even realize it. One day you'll surprise pikachu how come there's a mini me in the house, lol.

Sounds like they are only regretting their own hardship

I've cared for enough kids and teens (big extended family, close friends with kids) and i daresay taking care of another small person is hard, but the sense of fulfilment after helping others is nice and keeps you going.
Even if you seeing it as a responsibility, just knowing you have a purpose is good enough to gets one going.

Assuming you're a well adjusted adults.

These people sounds like kids themselves.

it's easier to serve meal on the praying table,for a corpse in a box,
rather than a sick person lying on sickbed, that will need to be washed, fed, toileted, cuci wound, bedsore and emotionally drained.

To me, it's clearer than daylight.
parents that dont realize it is because they are also with that behaviors trait.

You raised a monster, you are the one that kena kutip by monster the most.

No regret. Instead they are the reason I keep on going even getting the work burnout.
