So you think parents have children because they want a slave when they get old?
It works like that in some cultures (although that's changing in a lot of places), but not many children in the West feel they're duty-bound to give up all hope of having the life they want because they have to care for their parents.
Its obviously a Duty for childs to take care of there parents in old age Just like they did when we were small babies .
We came into this world because of them( i mean they were the source)
Duty? That just makes the kid resent their parent and see them as some sort of burden. Most parents wouldn't want to burden their child. If they're smart about it they have a 401K and pension to rely on, not their kids. XD
So anyone who isn't wealthy in old age isn't smart? Really? I live on a pension with casual work and while I do get some support from my daughter, she has her own life to live.
I get help where and when I can in the community, but hate asking and it's not always there when I need it.
It's like this in my husband's culture. All children are duty bound to care for elderly parents and aunts, uncles. But
most Eastern cultures treat their elders better then we do in western cultures.
I dont want any child but what in old age ?

Maybe where you live or in your mind that's obvious, but not everyone feels that way.
I'm a parent, and I'd hate it if my daughter had to waste her life looking after me if I couldn't take care of myself.

You don't need kids. Just hire a caretaker.
My mother tried forcing my sister to care for her mother. She used every guilt trip to get her to do so.
