I'm not going to be looking after my parents.

However, as far as not having children I may be happy to adopt at some point.

well i'm basing this off of, that most people do get along with their parents, so for most people chances are they will.

I honestly would rather pay a stranger to do it than put the burden of taking care of an old person on a loved one.

This.

I want my children to be able to continue being my children. Not my nurse and caregiver.

You can always hire caretakers or even live in a nursing home. I'm sure nursing homes will be fucking killer in the 2060s. We have video games, unlike previous generations. My favorite hobby requires almost zero physical capability.

Yeah sure...but not really the taking care part there is professions and stuff for that might not work well but anyway, I'm more worried I'll probably be lonely when I'm older. Still doesn't seem like a good very reason to have children if that is the only one you have...

I don't want my kids to have to take care of me when I'm old, even if I have kids

I want them to enjoy their life without fear of having to watch over me daily.

Just wanted to reiterate this point.

I really dont think people truly think about how hard it is on your kids and their families to take care of an elderly family member. Its physically, mentally, and emotionally draining on all parties and can halt or slow down their own personal goals and growth. I would never want to put that on people that I claim to love. Ive seen that put a real damper on many families and marriages.

Let the professionals take care of it, dont put that burden on them. Let them be continue to be your kids, not the person that has to wipe your ass.

Exactly. With that, your children can come visit you, and actually enjoy time spent together.

Just another selfish reason to have children.

A lot of people also think having children is retirement plan.

Having children is unethical.

You don't need to follow the 'Life Script'.
