My wife and I both have siblings with no kids, and I’m wondering who will be taking care of them when they get old? My two kids?

It's sad to think about. I have 3 kids thankfully. Men and women were meant to have families. But muh liberals...

Pretty much. I'm counting on my nieces and nephews. That's why I'm spoiling them now

Usually they starve to death at a nursing home while the staff make Tik Tok videos

What % of old people are taken care of by their children?

This.


A lot of you who assume that your children will be caretakers are going to be in for a rude awakening… Sure, some of you will have great kids who will come to the rescue.. but I know of many, many instances where this isnt the case.

Nieces and Nephews usually look after their older aunts/uncle's without kids.

Unless said person is a complete a-hole and no one in their family likes them. That karma usually bites them when they don't have a single person that calls or visits them in the nursing home.

It’s not healthy to be the child caregiver to the parents. Get professional help.

What a clueless statement.. forget the idiotic political bait, but just the part about ‘man and women were meant to have families’.. there are tons of reasons why maybe that never happened.. maybe they couldn’t conceive.. or maybe a woman who wanted kids never met someone to marry.. not everyone is “blessed” with children, sometimes not of their own doing.

People with no kids have a shite ton of independent wealth built up so when they hit their mid 60s they retire. And then still have money to move into a community and then pay an orderly to wipe their arse at the end.
