Intervention? OK. That's kind of strange.
But it is also strange that a 30 year old person reports that his parents are "sending him" anywhere.

An invention? Like one that will raise a test tube baby?


Your parents can't send you to a specialist without your consent. Just tell them that you don't want kids, and you don't want to get married, and the subject is closed. If they bring it up after that, get up and leave.


(I almost can't believe this post isn't from a first time poster)

I'm not American so culturally I'm more attached to my parents.


In America once you turn 18 you don't have to listen to a word your parents say.


And when I say "sending me" I'm not saying it's automatic.

Do you live with them? How can they "send" you anywhere unless you are dependent on them?

Not sure why having children is so important. The more older I am the more disinterested I'm in having children. They keep hassling me over it and it's very annoying. I'm a single male in my mid 30s, btw.



I'm not necessarily looking for replies to back me up. Just thought I would vent. But perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Is it wrong to be single male in my mid 30s without any interest in having kids?

You're Asian, right? So they're doing what millions of other parents do, and complaining about your life choices.

How do you know they're planning an "invention"?

A specialist to have grandkids?

How old do you have to be to live your own life without the approval of your parents?

Yeah. I actually thought that this is a lol post...
OP it's time to grow up and make your own life decisions. You need to tell your parents once and for all to stop plotting and interfering with your life.
You seem to always have a plethora of great advice to others, but it's time to use it on yourself.
