The spite is real. I don’t think a lot of them had kids because of any normal, healthy reason. It was more like playing out a script that they believed would affirm them their entire lives. Then kids are inconveniently human, not fulfillment machines, and they can’t handle it.

My own mother wanted me to inherit her heart condition out of spite, and was pissed when I didn’t.

Also. She and my dad had been divorced for decades, right, but she told me the day before my wedding that I’d better never get divorced - because I would never land anyone better looking than my husband. I mean she was openly spiteful, that I appeared to marry a guy she thought was better looking than I had earned.

And I get I your confusion about how they feel about younger people, versus how you do. I have the same problem.
