Brief

@bussypounder999 reports that when she told her mother she was pregnant at 27 (post dated 2026-05-12), her mother insisted on abortion so she could focus on a software engineering career; she refused, says she's aiming for five children and is currently on her third. A reply from @FrancosGhost describes similar generational expectations and a mother in her mid-60s saying she was 'too young to be a grandma.'

Why it matters

@bussypounder999 (posted 2026-05-12) says she told her mother she and her husband were pregnant at 27; her mother urged abortion so she could focus on her software engineering career, but she refused, plans to have five children, and is currently on her third.

Key details

Reply from @FrancosGhost describes similar generational pushback: his wife’s boomer parents wanted them to date and marry in their 30s, and the wife’s mother, in her mid-60s, reacted to plans for grandchildren by saying she was 'too young to be a grandma.'

Yes. My wife’s boomer parents wanted us to date for years and get married in our 30s (after we “had our fun and freedom”) and when we said we wanted kids and marriage her mother almost fainted and said she was “too young to be a grandma”… in her mid-60s…
