It's not selfish not to want to see your parents in their old age (or ever).

[stormy1x2]

Fair enough. I just don't like the blanket statement that having kids automatically means you'll have someone taking care of you. That's one of the first things that gets thrown at childfree people - who will support you?

The idea that there are no sad, lonely elderly people in old folks homes because their kids stuck them there is ridiculous. The comment was made that if they had kids they wouldn't be there. RIDICULOUS. That's all I want to say.

I'm alwas a little startled at this vision of elderly people waiting for their families to visit - my grandma really perked up noticably once she got out of her flat and into a professional care facility, among other things because she enjoyed all the group activities offered there.

I'm guessing that really depends on the kind of home you get sent to.

[stormy1x2]

very true. I guess it also has to do with how much of it is your decision to make, and how much of it is 'we have decided for you that'....

My grandmother's 'sister' wasn't completely gone but she retained enough to cry whenever she realized she wasn't in her home. A nurse had to be with her all the time to reassure her she wasn't abandoned, even though my aunt tried to visit 3x a week.

It's horrifyingly sad and I sincerely hope I'm gone long before I deteriorate to that extent.
