[quote=Anonymous]I lived having an older dad, who was 48 when I was born. He died at 83. He had totally different life experiences than other dads I knew. (There was no electricity, no cars, no phones growing up. He had so many amazing life experiences.) Having a child at any age is selfish. And there is nothing wrong with raising children with the value of caring for elders. My mom died in my arms from dementia. I took a year off to take care of my dad. Some of the hardest and best experiences of my life. Cradling a loved one into death was even more meaningful than bringing my son into the world. Some of us consider caring for our loved ones to be one of the greatest gifts life can offer. Certainly more meaningful than soccer tournaments and baseball practices. Elder care is part of life, or should be.[/quote]
