My husband and I don't want kids but our parents want grandkids, how should I tell them?

He and I talked and decided we didn't want kids before marrying, but our parents said they hoped for grandkids someday.

As long as the grandparents are prepared to come over to your house everyday to tend to the needs of their grandchildren, then I don't see a problem with you having kids to fulfill the wishes and desires of your parents.
