And here’s you thinking your family is bad for merely dropping hints about when you are going to start trying for a baby.

If you are getting fed up with the ‘gentle’ prods about reproducing from your parents or extended family, spare a thought for Indian Shrey Sagar, 35, whose parents are suing him for €625.000 – for not giving them a grandchild yet.

Sanjeev and Sadhana Prasad told the Times of India that they taking their son to court for “mental harassment” after he and his wife have not given the Prasads a grandchild – after six years of marriage.

Payback

The couple is demanding compensation worth nearly €625.000 from their son and his wife – as they claim they have exhausted their savings raising and educating their son – and paying for his lavish wedding.

And so now they simply want payback.

“My son has been married for six years but they are still not planning a baby,” the couple said in their petition filed with a court in Haridwar, India, last week.

“At least if we have a grandchild to spend time with, our pain will become bearable.”
