AbbyPye,

I understand completely. As one who without children of our own, the (what seems like) constant conversations involving kids and grandkids (and Lord help us, dogs/granddogs[?]) can overwhelm one. The problem is that "conversation" is a give and take, two way thing. When the subject is all about something you don't have, you are effectively shut out. The opportunity to add much is severely limited. But, there are some who prefer it that way. Then they can hog the conversation and turn it into a lecture. They will feel great. You will never get back the time.
