You HOPE they'll come visit you when you're old. I work as a nurse aide in a home and I can tell you that most do not come to visit :( The rare exception is this one lady that had six children and they come most every day to see her. I just wonder if they have the time to come to a home why they can't take care of her at home. Everyone is busy busy busy. I used to want children, A LOT but it's costs money to raise children. I rather not raise a large family the way I see other women raising families. A lot of the women around here have a lot of kids fast and young then get really fat and old EARLY, it's so sad.
I worked in nursing homes when I was young...and though it is not always true because circumstances beyond control sometimes prevail, one gets the old age one deserves.
Have a flock of children...breastfeed and lose weight (just keep the outgo more than the intake) and be active with them while you are young.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
