Those not wanting children, what’s your plan for old age?

[Katelyn88]

before people pounce on me:
I do NOT expect my children to be my carers, but I expect my children to ARRANGE care and keep an eye on the quality of care and finances.

Those not wanting children - who will supervise your care and finances when you are too weak/forgetful ?

It’s a genuine question. My parents both looked after their parents. Granny lived with us until she passed away. Me and my sister live within 5 miles from parents and inlaws live around the corner from BIL. I have no idea how childless people manage.

I feel sorry for your kids to be honest.

Don’t. Feel sorry for yourself. You know why!

Wow.

Conversely what about people who have kids- but the DC turn into parent-abusers (tormenting them, robbing them, assaulting them) when they’re adults? So much for all that sound planning.

Great info. Very useful. Thank you.

You earned it

To think that one of the many other threads about child free women recently, someone was arguing that having children makes you mature and that you’re immature if you don’t have them…

…

😁

Fucksake, what a binfire.

@Katelyn88 🤣🤣🤣🤣 someone got out of bed the wrong side, Oh dear, so angry. Maybe have a chat with your GP, you need something to chill you the fuck out. Poor kids.

Well apart from the fact no one deserves to be spoken to like that. I haven't commented before - Not the brightest are you?

Is that you again? Chill ! May be find a real job, you’ll have better hobbies!

No. I didn't. Tell me what time I posted at? My name will still be visible even if the post isn't.

Yes, I am from one of those countries. 😂And flying there for private medical care shortly since I can't get it on the NHS! Medical tourism to Asian countries is a thing now, you know.

This is really quite amusing. You keep saying you want to hear what people want to do, and then you get very angry when they tell you!

I met recently met a couple who have had 3 children taken off them and put into care already, and are on about trying for a 4th to "prove people wrong".

The OP has clearly been at the crack pipe. Nonsensical 🤷‍♂️

I plan on living in a retirement community. I'm not going to ruin my life having children now just on the off chance they'll advocate for me when I'm older.

Oh nice.
Still good luck being alone there.

And my question was not about how you’ll manage financially.

it was about how people without kids PLAN (not hope) to manage when they cannot do their own life admin and “arrange” things for themselves.

Your plan to move to a cheaper country doesn’t address my question. It’s irrelevant.

its YOU darling. What’s making you so angry?

@Katelyn88 I've reported this to MN now and hopefully it will deleted soon. I've seldom seen someone behave so badly on here, you should be ashamed.

Interesting. thanks for your inputs. Can you tell me about retirement communities please? Do they exist in the UK? Do they arrange everything? Like doctor visits etc? Who makes sure the quality of care is upto a good standard?

Why? YOU should be the one ashamed!

Why? YOU should be the one ashamed!

Why, what is is you think I've said exactly?
