Nothing says you have to be conventional and get married and have babies. This is your life and you must live it as it pleases you, not anyone else. There may come a time where you will change your mind. That is your prerogative; there is no law or convention that says you must marry or give your parents grandchildren. You can also have children without the convention of marriage if you are so entailed to give your parents grandchildren.
I'm big on statistics, so when news reports, report on statistical facts I usually listen. Recently I heard a report that in America conventional households are down, meaning more people are foregoing marriage and living together. Statistically more marriages are ending in divorce, over 50% according to this report.
So if this report is true then the new convention is not to marry but to live together. Which may be what you are talking about. As to whether you decide to give your parents grandchildren that is a singular decision that you alone should make. Not a reaction to begging or cajoling by them or anyone else.
Have a Happy New Year.

Who says you cant have kids? You can have kids with a boyfriend or something.
Marriage isn't mandatory anymore. You're not a piece of property. Its just an idea that society put into everyone's heads. Plenty of people decide to be single and never get married, and to just live with their partners.
You have plenty of time to change your mind anyways. So just enjoy yourself. This is your life, do what you want with it, and perhaps more importantly, don't do what you don't want to do. ;)
