And if you think that is a good reason to have kids you should never be even close to one. The only worse reason I could imagine is “their kidneys will be compatible when I need one”
I didn’t mention kids though did I, that is your own assumption of what I meant.
My comment is on entering a “system” which you feel entrapped by. Old age, unless you are very lucky is going to lead to the exact same result as this person is bemoaning about parenthood. The irony being you often enter a kid like state yourself, dependent on others turning up for you.
But if you want to know, I agree that you should not have the kids with the expectation they are going to have to care for you.
See thats another reason why i don’t have kids, its an mlm. After i am done with the hamsterwheel, my kids can jump in and would be caught up in it to care for me? No thanks.
People working with the old know very well that having kids will not guarantee you actual help when you are old, which often is just dew to circumstance and not even malice.
There are some positives to having kids, most of them emotional but they are objectivly a very bad deal in all other aspects.
If you feel trapped by kids just wait till you’re old, frail and in the care system.

Sounds a little selfish to me.
