So, you've grown up and flown the nest. When you look in the mirror, you see a confident, sassy young woman (usually) with a great career, and everything to be proud of. Well. Not quite. See, your parents know that the only way you'll truly make them proud is to pop out a few kids of your own, allowing them to live their dream of being a Grandparent. Either way, you can bet they'll be taking every opportunity to remind their children that their biological clock is ticking, and they should hop to it and make some kids. Examples of I Want Grandkids include:

The reasons for this can differ from parent to parent. Maybe they really do think the only way for their child to be happy is to have children. Maybe they think the only reason you exist is to give them what they want. Maybe they just want some cute kids to dandle on their knee and show photos of to strangers. Maybe they need someone to carry on the family name. Or maybe they just want to watch you endure all the torture you gave them. Or if you want to go by evolutionary theory on this, the entire point of life (as much as life can be said to have a point) is to produce healthy--and fertile--grandkids, as it means that your genes have passed the test of natural selection and can be passed on. Either way, you can bet they'll be taking every opportunity to remind their children that their biological clock is ticking, and they should hop to it and make some kids. Expect things to be awkward if these parents get introduced to a new love interest, or even an opposite sex friend. If the child is bereaved, this may be one reason why they urge them to seek out a new partner, telling them You Have Waited Long Enough. This can be Truth in Television, to a rather extreme extent; please, no Real Life examples. Compare Siblings Wanted, where it's the characters' own children who demand from them to get busy (again) rather than their parents. Examples of I Want Grandkids include:
