Having kids can be a struggle, but it's worth it in the end.

What's the payoff in the end... and what does the end look like?
@calicuz Only if they end up supporting you in old age. 🤣

...but it's not the kid's responsibility to support their aging parents anyway, nor is it the kid's responsibility to take care of aging parents when they can no longer live alone in their homes. That's not what kids are for and if kids are used for that purpose by the parent, then the parent is abusing their kids.
@swirlie Yep. Kids are totally a pay-it-forward proposition. Put all that effort into raising kids so that they will do right by your grandchildren. Pay it forward!
