I grew up seeing more a few folks raising their grandchildren not by choice but by necessity, and can name a dozen friends/acquaintances who currently are raising their grandchildren and have additional stress with little or no hope of retiring or even slowing things down. Personally this is a not a situation I would choose to be in, particularly just for the sake of having grandchildren.
I leave it totally up to my kids as to if they choose to have kids - the only caveat we give them is "Other than via a tragedy, Mom and Dad are not here to raise any of your kids, that will be your job".
