146. I was talking generally too.
I don't give a shit about having people around when I get old. In the absence of a nuclear bomb, there will still be people. No worries there.

No it isn't any of my business why you chose to have kids. As long as you don't sit next to me in a restaurant and let them scream in my ear, I don't care.

My point was to ANYONE, not just you:

Have kids because you want to raise decent human beings and watch a child grow up. Don't do it to have a nursemaid(s) when you get old. You may be sorely disappointed. That's why it's a stupid assumption that your kids will automatically take care of you. You or anyone else.
