having kids is no guarantee against social isolation in old age. The best laid plans of mice and parents can go badly astray (looking at folk I know). Ok, as a non-breeder I do feel more than a little smug. All those folk busily having kids and a miserable life in the process and telling themselves their kids will be there for them and when they reach 40 they'd be lucky to be on speaking terms with their kids and come very old age their kids want them to die because, quite rightly, they are a pain in the neck!

I honestly don't know a single parent (or at least I don't know that I know them) that is so narcissistic as to have children just so their kids could take care of them in old age. If you know some then you just know stupid people. If you want cared for in your later years save your kid money and make investments that will pay for your assisted-living later on.

Having kids for the sole reason of having them care for you when you're older is psychopathic and stupid. There are so many good reasons to have kids - too many to list, and you don't seem the type to have the capacity to understand them anyway.

Oh fuck off loser. Of course a plan might not come to fruition. You could live the best life in history and a falling airliner could land on your house.

The point is that GENERALLY speaking having a big family is pretty good insurance against being alone. Arabs, Indians, Pakis... those people don't die alone in hospital wards. Crazy cat ladies do.

As for being smug, you shouldn't be. You have failed in your basic duties as a living organism. You haven't shown that you have the maturity and fortitude to raise offspring. Raising a child well takes skill, patience, and a host of other qualities that basement dwelling nerds will never develop through fapping to anime.

I don't regret kids, but I'm well aware of the cost involved in terms of time and stress.

You seem like one of those Jordan Peterson fans who believe all life is suffering, that all families are dysfunctional. You exude the stench of the Jewish worldview.
