Some people have jobs and could not easily become a full carer for their parent even if they wanted too. Also you shouldn’t have kids just for that reason.

Funny how some people seem to think it's egotistical to not want kids. When imo it's actually the other way around. Apart from the fact that I simply don't want children and never have, I have plenty of good reasons to choose not to have them.

This so much! My mother, who has been divorced since I was 2, has been telling me since I was very small that I WILL take care of her in her old age. I'm an only child and we have no other family. Then she wonders why I don't want children. She's never had a contingency plan.

And she doesn't want to live in the same home as any partner I might choose in the future, but she's retiring in 7 years and we're buying a house so.. I guess she's going to become my dependent. This would be OK if she ever gave me a choice in the manner but nah typical Asian mom

Someone I worked with was adopted by a couple in their 50s for that very same reason, so she could be their old-age caretaker, and they weren’t the nicest of people for other reasons

Is it a global trend? It's also in Poland, the usual argument is said "who will give you a glass of water when you're an old person?". Heard it way too many times, along with the text that "I will change my mind". :D

Kids obligated to take care of parents is very typical of “old world” practices After the ability to create ‘surplus’ is when this practice wasn’t as needed Surplus convert to liquid resource (money), money saved for later use, hiring servants or care takers. We need $¥£€
