Argument with DH

My parents are in their early 70s and are doing round the clock care for my grandparents (late 90s).
They both have brothers and sisters to help with this and share the load.

I mentioned to my DH tonight I am a bit worried about what's going to happen when my parents get to that age because I'll be the only one responsible for what happens to them (I am an only child).

He's absolutely exploded at me and has gone off in a rage.

He said I'm ridiculous, selfish, and stupid because I have him and that's the same as having a sibling. I disagreed. They're not his parents.

He has a brother and a sister, they are a few years younger than him, but he thinks this is the same situation as me because he is the eldest.

I feel like I'm going crazy, aibu??
