Astonishingly, it was found that both mothers and fathers are only half as likely to get support from a non-biological child. Why are we astonished at this?

Heredity is amazing. If your parents did not have children, it is likely you won't either. Astonishingly.

My parents are divorced, if my dad fell ill it would be difficult for me to be involved in his day to day care, unless I moved him up to where I live... something I doubt he would want. My mother lives close by.
If my father did not fight me relocating him here, I would have no qualms being as active as I could in his care... when he is 600 miles away however, this makes this sort of involvement much more difficult if not impossible.

I think many assume that the government takes care of the elderly.

"It's not the divorce itself that affects the quality of the parent-child relationship, but it's what happens afterwards such as geographical separation," said Davey, a gerontologist who studies trends in the baby boomer generation and other aging issues. Wrong.

Well, gee, we’re headed for an anything-goes world. On the express train to who-gives-a-crapshoot. Remember, anything you do, all you have to say is, “oops, sorry” and be done with it.

Because we live in an age where people think that everything is the same, everything is equal.
Example: Two homosexuals = an hetrosexual couple
Her kids = my kids
DOLTS!

“Half as likely” means that there are some non-biological children (what, are they robots?) who are caring for their step-parent or adoptive parent. The observations of the study are intuitively obvious, but they’re generalizations, not descriptive of every case.

I hear ya. What about kids who don’t know who their parents are?
Studies and polls are amusing sometimes, but I take it with skepticism, like my horoscope...

Why are we astonished at this?If they are talking about children that were adopted at birth or shortly thereafter, I would find it astonishing that there is such a disparity in level of support.
