While the notion of spending your twilight years with your beloved children is wonderful, what I see happening just as often is seniors ending up in a nursing home, seeing their children and grandchildren only a few times a year, if even that. This seems especially true in American society versus other countries.

And that’s not even counting the cases where your children can’t stand you, if not estranged and outright hate you. Which if you read suggestions that ever dare to suggest that you can indeed live with your parents beyond the age of 18, seems to happen quite often too.

The first scenario is the good ending, and would definitely be worth the effort of raising children.

The second ending? I think I’d rather just not have kids at all if that’s my fate.
