Yowch. I can relate. My mother spent my entire childhood telling me what a burden children are and how horrible labor is, and now wonders why I haven't given her any grand-children.
She was a brilliant woman, but she never found a goal. I got into the physical sciences so I could spend much of my time thinking in an environment uncluttered with emotional displays. I'm very good to animals, and I strive to behave rationally as much of the time as possible.
The possibility of an afterlife and meeting either of my parents is troubling, but I don't think about it very often. I just assume all of my cats and horses will be there waiting.
