English term or phrase: Talk to him about giving me a grandchild.
Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Casa di riposo per anziani. Dialogo tra un ospite e sua figlia che è anche operatrice.

You should go home. Be with your husband for dinner. Talk to him about giving me a grandchild.

La mia proposta:

Dovresti andare a casa. Cenare con tuo marito. Parlargli di darmi un nipotino.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.
