I always find it interesting how some parents do this weird “don’t touch my daughter” but mix it with “give me grandkids!!”… like, you can’t have it both ways.

Ah, but the doublethink is the point! Add in a lil religious hypocrisy, and oh baby you got a Southern American stew goin.

These occur at different life stages for children

Teenager years, “Don’t touch my daughter.” / “Don’t impregnate anyone.”

Mid twenty and later, “Grandbabies please.”

Maybe they’re just really pro-adoption (not enough to do it themselves, though)

Nope, not at all. My parents berated me until I was 35 to “wait until you’re ready to have kids.” Then they were like, why are you waiting to have grandkids?! You’ve been married for 5 years!!!
