The Indian parents say they used up their savings raising their son and paying for his wedding.

I wonder if the son and daughter in law knew that the reason the parents bought all that stuff and spent all that money was for eventual grandchildren? Like, did they know and just play along, or, was this a discussion that never even took place? Would the parents have done all this if the son and daughter in law told them,"look, we may never have kids?"

Also it is not clear if the couple have been trying to conceive but may have fertility issues, which is obviously completely out of their control

“The main issue is that at this age we need a grandchild, but these people (my son and daughter-in-law) have an attitude that they don’t think about us,’’ Prasad said.
“We got him married in the hope we would have the pleasure of becoming grandparents. It has been six years since their marriage,” Prasad said. "It feels as if despite having everything we have nothing.”

Well, I guess they [the parents] took a chance. Kinda like Vegas -sometimes you win, and sometimes you're crying in your free beer.

WTF? They could be having fertility issues for all they know! Or maybe, they just don't want kids...which is also perfectly fine! Goodness gracious...

This shouldn't have made me laugh as hard as it did!

This is ridiculous. Even if they do have kids down the road, do you think there will be any relationship with them after this stunt?!? MOO

Wow, what an entitled attitude this older couple has. Is it the son's responsibility to fulfil his parent's desire for a grandchild? I don't think so. I don't think it is a requirement.

It would be lovely if he and his wife wanted to have a child and his parents could enjoy the results. But he doesn't owe that to them.

I would think their motivation to help him find a wife and to throw them a nice wedding would be because they want their son to be happy and fulfilled. Guess not....

Thing about this is the parents want another child but don't want the burden of being 24/7 parents again. Very selfish people

Nothing selfish about knowing that having another child is not what you want for yourself or your family.
