The same people that take care of people that have kids? I guess a counter-question then, do you expect your children to take care of you? Do you expect them to let you move in? Do you think a majority of people take care of their parents?
Guess we could define what "take care of" means exactly cuz ngl most people just stick their parents in a home and visit around the holidays.
People vastly underestimate how much family is involved with end of life care. My parents are mid-70s and mid-80s and not in a home not that we could afford it. My sister and I jiggle all the things life throws at them.
Youth seriously does not realize the amount of appointments let alone care goes into looking after our elders. Bless you all but you're naive as all get out.
I'm sorry, I know this is a serious topic but reading this typo made me snort-laugh. (Please don't fix it!)
Your condescension and selfishness isn't helping your case. Oh and good job ignoring every single one of my questions. Try again sweetie.
