Sure. More power to them. I’m only saying that at some point things aren’t as shiny as they once were. Then right after that menopause hits, the body starts to wear out, and the next thing you know, some “special nephew” is your power of attorney responsible for choosing the nursing facility where you’ll spend the remainder of your cognizant months bemoaning your meaningless existence.

And there it is….the “no one will take care of you when you get older” reason to have kids

It always makes it’s appearance

Having kids isn’t a guarantee they will care for you when you get old. Go visit a few nursing homes and ask how often the residents there get visits from family.

It's amusing to watch people who have kids pretend to know what it's like to grow older without kids.

or maybe this wont happen and they will live a happy life with their partner enjoying their own independent life choices that they are more than suitable to make for themselves as adults
