[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my friend had 5 kids, only ONE was there every weekend I visited her in the nursing home that year before she passed and all were in driving distance, like 30 minutes....I just assumed the other kids came during the week, well I ran into one of her friends who was there during the week and only ONE was there for her.  Having kids to get to ANY end result....having grands, or someone to take care of you as you age is NEVER guaranteed, NEVER.[/quote]

I play the lottery and hope for the best so to speak. If I had zero kids I would definitely not have a chance.
As for them visiting, well the smart idea is to try to keep them close (don’t live in the boonies!) and help them, hoping they would return the favor. [/quote]

You reap what you sow.  If you sow loving relationships, you'll have loving relationships.  My parents didn't do that. And never helped me when I was an adult.  They can't possibly expect me to all of the sudden change our family dynamic.  I'm sowing a different dynamic with my kids and I will help them until I can no longer.  It will keep me useful and purposeful, plus it will help them to advance their careers and know their children are in good hands.[/quote]
