I have an 11yrs old kid right now who told me he doesn't want to get married and or having kids. He heard me talked about it. How hard it is to raise children.

I’m 22 and don’t see myself getting married and pregnant for a man. If I do have kids they’ll be for myself and I’ll have to be ready to be a mom

I ALWAYS wanted a child. I ended up with a man who decided after 7 years he no longer wanted anymore now its maybe too late. I don't really have any friends either

I dated a lady who worked at a retirement home. The stories of people just paying and not spending time with the elderly family member is unbelievably heart breaking. Have kids for whatever reason but don't expect them to drop their lives for you. Kinda sad

Everyone is responsible for themselves at the end of the day.Help is nice but that can only go so far until it becomes toxic….

The same people who say it's selfish to have kids that will take care of you in your old age, are the same ones who expect someone else child to take care of them in a nursing home. Whereas the sole purpose of having kids should not be to be taken care of in your old age, the parent-child dynamic is a beautiful cycle of giving. Giving birth is an opportunity for a parent to be selfless in taking care of the child, inturn an old parent is an opportunity for a child to be selfless in taking care of their parent. It was all designed perfectly by God to bring the best out of all parties at different stages.

Super!!!! Podívejte se na sebe… Budu radši bez dětí… ubožáci co vychovají další ubožáky 😂😂😂😂😅🎉

If you live 80 years you have enough time to make some friends so you have a social circle in your senior years

That's one damn reptile right here.

A Woman like that is an example of selfishness and self-centredness. Many people love living for themselves no matter if they are younger or older. They never get mature in life. The walk of life is just living for themselves and on themselves. For them everything is a burden, even if they could have nice, lovely children or intelligent children or hard working children. They are not optimistic because they are so careless and lazy that having children is an unbearable weight to them. They could make any effort to have a happy marriage if this marriage doesn't go on their rules.

Yes ma'am!

Ninth decade. I have children who love me but respect my privacy, and the health to enjoy the solitude this end of life uniquely offers. It's all good. God bless everybody.

100% of those without children don’t have children around to love and care for them.

Kids are…..sigh. Just really think about it before you have them.

This lady seems very sharp

If kids aren’t your thing………….dont have em

You have to work on the relationships with your children all your life if you want that love and care to last a lifetime. It should be obvious.

The purpose of having children is to procreate and to create life in the image of the creator! The purpose is not for your personal elder care!!!!!

Its a culture thing, in our country we take care of our parents

wonder if there is book .. fiction or non fiction about getting old without chlidren?

It’s western culture. Unless you come from a loving family and teach to value each other than you have a business of retirement homes. The economy snd education also doesn’t help.

You’re going to age no matter whether you have children or not. If you have children it’s great but don’t expect them to take care of you when you age. There are so many older people out there that have kids and they’re alone even on holidays so there is no guarantee. There is no family unity today. Your adult kids are too busy traveling and living in so many different places. Wanting to achieve all of there dreams and not one of those dreams include taking care of you in your old age.. kids are being raised selfishly today. They will not compromise their lives for their parents today. No way because they are taught not to give anything up that will sacrifice their happiness. More and more you will see older people that have kids that are not around for them and will not take care of them so older people better make friends that are also on their own so you can keep an eye out for each other because more then likely your kids won’t be there

Nursing homes are full of parents whose children never visit.

Funny really. I see so many lovely couples in their 20's and 30's who live together and get Kittens or puppies. They swoon over them and put up pics on social media holding them proudly. Makes me smile. If nature ran its intended course, it would be their babies in those pictures.

Children don't come to life to entertain, take care, add meaning to life ...these are definitely wrong egoistic reasons to have children

Honestly. Don't be a parent unless you actually want to be a parent. Not for any other reason. Definitely dont have kids as some kind of insurance policy.

Just to balance the narrative in the comments section; I have had my first child 6 months ago and it is everything and more that I would have wanted. I think the world needs more good people having children. I wish well everyone that is exercising their choice not to but there really is two sides to this coin.

The joy of having children is not about being visited at an old age

I have 2 sons, they don’t care about me, they only care about themselves and their money. One son will text me once a month or months, to brag about something he’s done or bought. (He lives about 60 miles away.) The other lives in another state, and decided he doesn’t want anything to do with me, because I voted for Trump and he voted for Harris. At least that’s his excuse now. Prior to that, he claimed he was busy working or was having emotional problems and didn’t want to talk to anyone. Which I did end up finding out through other people, he was running around, vacationing and going to his partners parents house. So I live a very lonely life and have just been trying to find a way to be okay with their avoidance of me. It’s very hard, as I do have medical conditions and am disabled, but I just talk to God a lot and try to figure things out myself. I lost my husband to cancer in 2020, and I have no other family, but my dad and step mom, who live in a different state. My dad has end stage Alzheimer’s, so I do my best to call him at least 1-2 times a week, cuz he still knows me. I know sometimes he thinks I’m still 6 years old and I’m lost, cuz I don’t live there, and sometimes my stepmom will call me to talk to him cuz, he is having a very sad day and I can settle him down via phone. My boys never had kids, so I have no grandkids. I think loneliness is the hardest feeling for me.

Thank you for doing this, I hope that you find the group of friends that are positive and fun.

I have an acquired brain injury and ME/ CFS, and my wife, who has a family history of postnatal depression, has enough on her hands with me. Besides, we love the freedom of going on holiday on our own terms. And I love my wife more than anyone in the world. I don’t want to share her 😂

Man, these comments are depressing. People are in for a rude awakening when there aren't enough young folk to take of all the aged population because they chose to not have children.

I worked in a care home for a few years. Children or no children, old people in the UK end up in a carehome. If you were lucky enough toown and then sell a house, you'll end up in a tiny room in some nicer carehome that you will pay riddiculus money for. And all those 'horrible immigrants', that you didn't want here, will take care of you. If you were a good parent, your children will visit at Christmas. So it's better not to have children, that will save you some money for a nicer place.

I got six so far. I’m goin to make more

Best to age gracefully by making your own plan early without your children in the picture. If they’re around it’s a bonus but not expected. Then it’s not a burden for either party. A lot of folks don’t realize that children grow up with their own responsibilities. Most are not built to be caregivers - often selfish.

I love this lady's receding hairline. Reminds me of those old paintings of Queen Elizabeth, who had the same hairline.

Life on earth is painful and lonely for thousands of people on earth.

Not many in this comment section actually pointing out that children don’t grow on trees. There aren’t many great parents out there especially of baby boomers generation that are complaining now about their children not visiting them. Can you blame them for not visiting entitled racists and abusive elders? Just because someone looks old and frail doesn’t mean they deserve sympathy of their child who may have had a bad bad childhood, and it’s not lack of finances necessarily. There are many families that struggle financially but still able to cultivate close relationship with their kids, they are emotionally attune. Taking care of an elder person is much harder than an infant. Try to change a diaper of an adult. There is always a story we don’t know, we may feel sorry for the elder but we don’t know why their kids refuse to visit them, and most likely they have a valid reason not to.

Makes me happy about my decision to have kids in Philippines where family is a major priority for survival

I helped take care of my Grandma when i was younger. As did my wife with hers. It was something we bonded over. We each intrinsically knew who the other was. We just had my Mom with us at the end when she passed. And i plan on eventually caring for my dad. It's truly a gift to care for your family. Especially the ones who cared for you. I expect our kids will do the same. They spent time with my mom at the end and with my wifes mom as well. They did so lovingly and without being prompted to. They understand family and what it means. I have no idea where life will take us. But, i do know family is a Blessing. I read so many of these comments, and they're so horribly sad.

This is the longest 2 minutes video I’ve ever watched.

Not Having Kids Is So Stupid! 🤦‍♀️

She looks like Conan O'Brien in the face

I work in a nursing home I have some patients who has children but they never visit them!

puzzle

It’s sad when folks are lonely, but those with kids should remember that your relationship with them is a two way street. You have to make as much of an effort to maintain that relationship with them as they with you.

I am watching this on 23 December, 2024

i thought conan obrien had children

Our choices have a huge bearing on our future. To exit one's echo chamber is the right thing to do instead of a crusade of bias confirmations to legitimise mistakes.

Straight out of tudor times 😮😊
