Your interpretation of the other poster's "avoiding lonely old age" argument seems so weirdly extreme (as if that's this poster seriously proposed this as the ONLY reason to have a child) and your response is so sustained and vehement, as if it had some passionate real-life impetus.
Just curious.
Take care.
I do know a couple of people that were raised to be free labor. And of course one need only be very slightly connected to the world of entertainment news to know that most of Hollywood is incapable of thinking of their kids as actual people that actually need to be taken care of.
Really there’s nothing extreme or vehement in what I said. I think that’s a shallow reason to have kids, and I think it’s hypocritical that the people who put forth this shallow reason are often criticizing childless people for shallowness. The only reason it’s sustained is that you and others keep asking me questions about it, and you’re all being polite and keeping the conversation worth sustaining. And I hope I’m being polite and keeping things interesting.
