My mother was a shit mother and she wishes for nothing more than for grandchildren. I am the oldest of 4 boys and I am determined to not have any. Being gay makes it easy. And if I ever adopt, she will be denied seeing them. The next brother under me is infertile. The third is depressed about the state of the world and an internet dweller. Her only chance is the 16 year old. She's already 50. If the last one holds out another 10 years, she may well never get to baby sit any grandchild nor should she.
Emotionally abusive wretch.
Feel bad for the 16 year old who has to deal with her essentially on his own. You don't have to be a parent, but you can definitely be a great big brother.
