[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is one anecdote. 5 adult children (cousins) from two siblings. 2 of the adult children (me and my sibling) had kids. 7 between the two of us. We are very, very busy. As our parents have gotten older and require a lot of help, it's been very difficult for sibling and I to manage but we've done our best. Constant juggling and I know my parents wish we were around and available more. 3 of the adult children (my 3 cousins), 2 out of 3 had no children. The 2 with no kids, I have never seen more devoted adult children in my entire life. They spend a ton of time with their remaining elderly parent. The remaining elderly parent is their clear #1 priority in life. I know other cases of this too. The adult kids with no kids of their own really put a lot of energy into that family of origin/parent relationship.[/quote] I’ve seen the same thing. [/quote]
