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.
