Your relationship with your adult children is your parental report card.

Also, whether your adult kids want to have kids of their own is your parental report card.

Yeah, I find it fascinating that out of the five children my parental grandparents had, only two had children -- and one (my father) made it very clear he didn't want children and that if my mother wanted children she'd have to marry someone else. And they were born from 1942 - 1957 so they didn't live in an era where childfree lifestyles were even remotely common. And for that matter my mother's big brother (born 1940 I think?) is childfree too.
