[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the replies (and people, the quote-posts are getting WAY too long to follow.) But having been on several sides of this, I wonder why the OP thinks having kids young somehow avoids these issues. My mother had me and my siblings in her early 20s and by the time I was in HS she was dealing with a parent w/Alzheimers. Sure, she was 35 but that didn't make it "easy" to care for an elderly parent; I don't think it was an easier for me when I had to deal with it in my 40s. It's awful and sad and there's not much you can do to avoid it, other than die young (which also sucks.)[/quote]
