* ''Manga/HybridXHeartMagiasAcademyAtaraxia'': Inverted and Invoked, [[spoiler:in volume 12 while performing Ecstasy Hybrid with Hida Kizuna, Reiri wants to get pregnant so their mother Nayuta can become a grandmother and in the next volume she's revealed to have become pregnant, ironically Grabel and Zelshione ended up bearing Kizuna's children before her.]]

* Franchise/TheDCU:
** [[Characters/DCComicsVandalSavage Vandal Savage]] wants his daughter Scandal [[spoiler: now formerly]] of the ComicBook/SecretSix to have kids. This is not going to happen with Scandal's consent for a few reasons: 1) Scandal ''hates'' her father, 2) she is a lesbian with absolutely no interest in the opposite sex, and 3) she is convinced (with good reason) that the only reason Vandal wants grandchildren is so that he can harvest them for organs to sustain his immortality. Ironically, in the reboot version of the series it's implied he might get his way after all, when Scandal calls up Catman and tells him that after a lot of discussion she and her [[MarryThemAll two wives]] have decided to start a family, and they want him to be [[ChosenConceptionPartner their sperm donor]]. Who's going to carry the child is left ambiguous.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2006'': Even Franchise/WonderWoman gets this from her mother, Queen Hippolyta, when she introduces new love interest Tom Tresser during Gail Simone's run. Is no one safe? Granted, this was during a time when Diana and Hippolyta were the only two Amazons left which strongly influenced how they were thinking. And of course, Hippolyta was so desperate for a daughter that she moved the gods into miraculously creating Diana. She just really seems to like kids. She's not alone either: one Amazon led the others into revolt mostly out of envy that Hippolyta got to be a mother and she didn't.
** Somewhat justified given that Amazons were all innocently slain women brought back to life through magic, with some obviously being mothers in their former lives. Presumably, some still maintain the aspect of motherhood in their old life, but are denied it because of Amazon traditions (with Hippolyta being the exception, which leads to resentment.) One Amazon treated a dolly she made as her infant after she snapped.
** ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'': The Beard-Hunter in Creator/GrantMorrison's run [[BasementDweller still lives with his mother]], who berates her son for never settling down and giving her grandchildren.
** ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'': Bleez of the Red Lantern Corps, during her OriginsEpisode in ''ComicBook/BlackestNight: Tales of the Corps'', was set up with suitors against her wishes because her mother wanted grandchildren.

* Franchise/MarvelUniverse: This might be one of the reasons [[Characters/MarvelComicsGalactus Galactus]] [[spoiler:stops his estranged daughter ComicBook/{{Galacta|DaughterOfGalactus}}'s attempt to destroy the "Tapeworm Cosmic" (actually the larval form of Power Cosmic entities like Galactus and Galacta) near the end of her one-shot. He doesn't want her or his unborn grandkid to be destroyed.]]

* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': Both Ross and Emily's parents seem to be keen on the idea, since Ross threatens them with "No grandkids!" when they are squabbling at his wedding. Ross' parents ''already'' have a grandson prior to that event, but they frequently forget about Ben; of course, they also frequently forget about their own daughter Monica.

* ''Film/GowriGanesha'': In this [[UsefulNotes/TheOtherwoods Sandalwood]] film, a financially desperate Gowri is asked by a man named Chandramouli to take part in a make believe "wedding reception" at a Bangalore hotel just to convince his parents that he has married someone. Said parents were threatening to fire him from the family run business and cut him off unless he gets married and produces grandchildren.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5vL9FLVEZE&list=PLjk_R7PJ7_t40_Ivr4-BSMMI4Ut1jGTDH&index=36 The parents-in-law]] are ecstatic when their son cheats on his wife and brings home a new woman as they believe they are finally going to finally be able to have grandchildren. However, their son was infertile [[spoiler: and the new girl was as well due to having too many abortions and STDs]].

* ''Manga/TheBeautifulSkiesOfHououHigh'': Kei's mother is so worried about the possibility that her daughter won't end up giving her grandchildren that she tricked her into going to an All Boys School; while this would be a secret fantasy for most girls, it's a nightmare for Kei due to a number of reasons. First, the Principal has threatened to ''erase her'' if she tries to expose herself as a girl (thus ruining the school's reputation); second, she is ''allergic'' to guys which makes her throw up a lot; and lastly, she is a lesbian (it is this fact that the mother is trying to ''cure'').

* ''Fanfic/AClashOfNeets'': Hestia is the divine equivalent, being the goddess of family; she views all mortal followers of [[FantasticPantheon the Seven Goddesses]] as her children, and part of her scripture implores them to give her many, many grandkids to dote upon (something she helps with due to also being the [[EarthMother goddess of fertility and new life]]. It's noted, however, that she's a little less accepting of gay couples than her sisters for this reason, since they can't procreate, but encourages adoption since her church runs most of the orphanages in Westeros.

* ''Film/{{GoodFellas}}'': gangster Tommy's mom keeps contrasting with his friend Henry who has settled down and is producing grandchildren.

* Franchise/MarvelUniverse: This might be one of the reasons [[Characters/MarvelComicsGalactus Galactus]] [[spoiler:stops his estranged daughter Galacta's attempt to destroy the "Tapeworm Cosmic" (actually the larval form of Power Cosmic entities like Galactus and Galacta) near the end of her one-shot. He doesn't want her or his unborn grandkid to be destroyed.]]

** In Season 48, Episode 12, the last line of the "Protective Mom" sketch is Ms. Flores asking her son's girlfriend, "Now, where are my grandchildren?" assuring the couple in her own fussy way that she approves of their romance.

* ''Fanfic/AftermathOfTheGames'': In the sequel ''Integration'', Flash comments that part of the reason his mother is okay with him dating Princess Twilight is that she already has two kids of her own ([[HappilyAdopted namely]] Spike and [[spoiler: filly Starlight]]).
* ''Fanfic/BabyBoom'' (a ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fic): This trope kicks off the plot -- Mabel [=LaCrux=] is so frustrated by her daughter's lack of interest in children that she gets akumatized into "Fairy Grandmother" and goes around the city spreading MindControl gas that causes thousands of people to get busy making babies. Including not only the heroes who could have stopped her, but the villain who was responsible for the akuma. (When Mabel comes back to her senses, she's horrified.)

* ''Literature/HighSchoolDxD'': Issei's parents are happy when they see him genuinely interacting with girls. They expressed a fear that they would never have grandchildren because Issei is a perverted idiot who spends most of his time ogling girls or his PornStash instead of actually talking to them. This is a bit less funny with later revelations that Issei was actually their third attempt at a child (having two older siblings who died of miscarriages), so their complex on this is a bit less purely comedic. As for actually wanting grandkids? [[spoiler:Well, they got their wish. All 20 of them.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/FireAndIce1983'': [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Juliana]] is the EvilMatriarch to [[BigBad Nekron]] and very adamant that he produces an heir, going as far as kidnapping [[MsFanservice Princess Teegra]] to provide her son with a consort[=/=]concubine. Nekron on the other hand is repulsed with the idea and throws Teegra in the dungeon instead.

** In Season 48, Episode 12, the last line of the "Protective Mom" sketch is Mrs. Flores asking her son's girlfriend, "Now, where are my grandchildren?" assuring the couple in her own fussy way that she approves of their romance.

** In Season 48, Episode 12, the last line of the "Protective Mom" sketch is Mrs. Flores asking her son's girlfriend, "Now, where are my grandchildren?" assuring her in her own pushy way that she can move on from their multiple disagreements.

* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'': Exaggerated for laughs in Season 47 Episode 9[[labelnote:*]] December 18, 2021[[/labelnote]]. Creator/PaulRudd's character is directing a commercial asking moms what they want (as in things that can be bought and sold). The moms keep finding ways to shoehorn grandchildren into what they say.

* ''Literature/SorryBro'': Nareh is an only child, with her mother often pressuring her to marry and give her grandchildren. After she learns Nareh is dating a woman, she's disappointed by the idea she'll never have them, but then mollified on hearing that queer women do still have children.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Amy Wong's parents are an extreme example. They are so obsessed with getting Amy to have grandchildren, it almost seems like they care more about that than they care about Amy herself. To the point that when the latter [[FountainOfYouth got de-aged to her preteen years]], they were too busy complaining about how they were never going to have grandchildren at this rate (and in Leo's case, [[{{Jerkass}} cruelly tease Amy]]) to actually worry about their daughter's condition.
