How to live to a lonely old dotage in a care facility".

Don't debunk a study because you don't like what it found. 7,500 people is a pretty big sample.

And there are plenty of people in nursing homes put there by their children and then never visited by them.

Maybe both do end up in nursing homes, but the ones that have kids are there for a much shorter length of time. *G*

True enough about kids placing elderly. One single miserable wench is a middle aged Phd that sucks off her elderly parents while she tries to write a book. She has not visited them in 2 years but they keep sending cash for her because she does not feel well enough to work. I have no doubt this single female will live to be 100. Thank God she never had a child. She is a part time advisor on how to make more money and not work as hard. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaha ha ha
