Do people still think that kids are there to take care of you when you're old? Just because you're 60, just because you're 80, does not mean that your child should be taking care of you. They're not obligated to take care of you. They want to travel the world. They want to get married. They want to take care of their own kids. They want to live their lives. They want to be drinking cocktails in Hawaii. They don't want to be changing your diaper. Just because you give birth to a child does not mean that this child must pay your bills or take care of you. Start saving for retirement. No child is coming to save you.
