The older generation's fixation on forcing you to have kids is something they absolutely refuse to unlearn. You can give the calmest and most reasonable explanation for not having kids and the only thing they can think to say is, "But what of the heir to the lands?" "Who will inherit the throne?" "Please sire upon your barren death there will be a parochial schism that will soak our soils with brother-blood." They literally hate to see you happy with just a cat.

Stubborn cough and wheezing, arthritic pain, coughing up blood, fatigue. Why should I prolong my life? Since my malady has brought my desire for action to a halt, only literature remains in my life. To create literature. There is neither joy nor agony in it. As a consequence, my life is neither happy nor unhappy. I am a silkworm. A silkworm, regardless of whether it is happy or not, cannot help but weave its cocoon. I am just using the thread of my words to weave the cocoon of my tale. Alas, the pitiful sickly silkworm is about to finish the cocoon. His existence no longer has any purpose whatsoever. ‘No, you do have a purpose,’ a friend said. 'You transform. Become a moth, chew through the cocoon, fly away!’ It is indeed a well-placed metaphor. But the question is whether my body and my spirit still have any strength left to break through the cocoon.
