As a nurse, I laugh so hard at people who assume their kids will take care of them

As a senior caregiver of 20 years, expecting to put this burden on a child is wild

Side note, you look SO much younger than 50. I wonder why that could be. 🤔 lol

You don’t know what you missed. The best part of life is having a family.

52. No kids. Zero regrets. Also I’ll be able to afford to put myself in a nursing home with all that money I saved not having kids.

Same here. We chose childfree. No regrets! It’s selfish to have kids and expect them to be caretakers.

“Who’s going to take care of you when you’re older” is suchhhhhhh a selfish take. I’m not having kids for that reason! Like huh???

I would like for all us childless adults to create mini communities and take care of each other. Have movie nights, have common eating areas if we want to have little dinner parties

My husband and I don’t regret not having kids and are actually thankful we didn’t bring kids into this hellscape of a world.

I don’t really think anybody is having kids for that reason.

People without children saying they are so happy, people with children saying they are so happy, it’s a beautiful world to be able to make your own choices. Cheers

I’m too selfish to have kids. People look at me like I’m a terrible person when I say that, but I think it’s better than having kids and being a bad parent.

It is completely your own choice. Everybody else should allow you to make your choice.

I’m right there with you, Tina. I never had kids because I never wanted the responsibility.

We have one child who is disabled and will require lifelong care. I am often asked why we don’t have more children. “Who will care for her when you’re gone?” As if a sibling should be required to take that on.

A lot of times kids don’t take care of you anyway. People just say that because they regret having kids and it makes them feel better

It’s not guaranteed that if someone has children that those kids will take care of them nor should it be expected.

My response to that is always, “Dang, that was a really expensive gamble you took in investing in a caregiver without any guarantee that you wouldn’t just be put in a home. Do your kids know you only had them to put them to work?”

I’m a doctor and the other day I discharged an older man, lives with his wife. Wife was crying stressed about how they would do at home alone. Keep in mind, they have 2 sons who live local but don’t help them. So even ppl who have kids might be figuring out who will take care of them too!! (On a side note, don’t worry we set up resources to help them at home 🤗)
