I may be the only mother of an asexual over 20 daughter. Not only has she never . . . , but if we were Catholic, she wouldn't be in a convent, either. She's more into her anime than relationships. Her friends are anime fanatics, too. Yes, she has a steady job, but dropped out of college. Sometimes I don't know which daughter is better to have had - a reclusive "good" daughter like her who chooses not to procreate and is addicted to her laptop and Xbox/Playstation, or a "careless, risk taking, but working" single mom who lives at home with you and your grandkids. I didn't have her until after 30 and my husband's been disabled/retired since her early teens. He despises social life and I lived a lot before age 40 so don't miss it. Her being an only child may have helped create this stranger who shares our house, but I just can't get into all the anime crap. We used to take trips together, but not since her job keeps her on call and schedule juggled. My husband controls the money as he's the recipient so he feels I am his maid service. Getting a job over 50 isn't easy, let alone going back to being Supermom. Forecast -divorce or early death, if I didn't go crazy first. Then there's the pets.  Am I venting? You bet. That's how I remain sane.
