[quote=Anonymous]No of course not - I have 3 boys but wouldn't expect it of girls either. I want to retire someplace thats nice and fun to retire - and I want them to chase whatever careers they want wherever makes sense. I wouldn't want to live in brooklyn just so they could take care of me or for then to leave nyc for that reason either if that's where they want to be I hope they help make sure i'm cared for if i'm unexpectedly not able to do that for myself (eg a stroke very suddenly made it so i could no longer live alone so i needed someone to find me a place in assisted living immediately) but I wouldn't want them orienting their lives around being my caretaker even if we lived close, they'll likely be in the thick of carting teenagers to 1000 activities when i needed real caregiving. I wouldn't want to make their lives even more exhausting. [/quote]
