You're a selfish prick if that's the reason you're having kids.
Coincidentally, I found an interesting Quora question a few weeks ago: "How much am I obligated to take care of my parents in their old age?" This comment summarized it pretty well:
"None. It's completely up to you how much you want to care for them. You had zero choice in their decision to have kids. Neither did you have any say in how much they are to sacrifice for those kids. The same is true for you now. You decide how much you are willing to sacrifice.
To do it out of "obligation" is an insult to every human being that has ever had a child as it becomes a selfish act to have kids in exchange for one day gaining from it. That isn't how it is. At least not how it should be. They cared for you out of love. The abundance of abandoned and abused children is proof. Now it's your turn. Do it for love, if that is something you feel and to the extent that you do. Otherwise you didn't sign up for such an obligation."
