what if i don’t want to be nice? does that significantly lessen the odds that my kids will tend to me?
what if I act only out of guilt, not out of love? does that negate the whole thing? is it better for me nott o do anything out of guilt?
i think the real truth is that a lot of people’s folks drive them batshit crazy …[/quote]then, put them all into homes and put yourself into a home when you’re no longer independent. Problem solved. Why even worry about any of it. It seems like it’s not even worth thinking about since everyone is driving everyone else batshit.[/quote]
probably statistically and culturally way more likely.
number of hours worked per week.
number of 2 parent working families.
yeah, you could be nice.
but there were a series of cultural and econoic decisions that are going to, on the whole, make old people less relevant and more difficult to maintain.
not that you can’t be the exception.
but liek child care, it may cost you a lot of money.
