at a dead end with family

Sometimes I feel like all my parents and grandmother are doing are just waiting for me to get married and have kids already and that because i'm over 30 and still single, they sort of don't know what to say to me anymore. all of their friends are planning weddings, awaiting babies, talking about their grandkids, visiting their grandkids, and she has nothing to add. she even mentioned to me once that two of her friends talk and talk about their children and their children's spouses and grandkids and "she has nothing to add." After speaking with my mother recently it occurred to me that we just have nothing to talk about. Our conversations have gotten really short and the only thing that seems to interest her is gossip. When I bring up subjects outside of gossip, she sounds bored with the subject, changes it, or even if it has to do with an interesting news event she'll just say "that's too depressing I don't want to think about it," or "I don't care, it has nothing to do with my life." I get the feeling all she wants are grandchildren to talk about and she doesn't have them, so I've become someone who bores her. do any other singles out there feel like this has happened with their parents?
