"Motherhood is the single biggest reason for poverty in old age."

What happened to the grownup kids taking care of dear old Mom? That must be so--so--(ugh!)--fundamentalist!

I was thinking the same thing. I know women who never had children and feel pretty lonely right now.

Have you never given thought to the fact that just maybe the children do not survive the parents? What happens then in your perfect world? Did your mother stay home to raise you? Should she be punished for that by having to live out her life in poverty when the husband drops her for a younger woman? It isn't all so black and white!
