Having kids means you will have a caregiver when you get old?

It's not that you'll have caregivers if you're old. It's about having a companion in your life. I don't think they really mean ill nor do they not want you to stay single. I think they are just worried that you are becoming too fond of being single that you might forget relationships. Then soon, you'll realize that you don't need someone in your life and before you know it, you'll be old and unmarried without children as well. There are people who have gone through this, and perhaps the people who tell you these things are just afraid and would like you to look at your options. Afterall, why would someone recommend that you get married before it's too late - if it's not for you good? One of my aunts who is single now that she's in her fifties. She always tells or reminds me now to not be too picky and that we (my partner and I) should get married soon else we'd be too familiar with each other and perhaps would grow apart then. She also tells me that I shouldn't wait any longer else my age would keep me from having kids. I know she tells me those things because she is old and alone and doesn't want me to have the same fate as she. She always tells me that it's happy to be single, but it is happier to have someone to share your life with. Not to mention that now that she's sick, it seems that it's difficult to do things on her own, and she has a little paranoia that perhaps people are just close to her because of her money and not really mean it in their heart - I guess it's different if it were her children taking care of her. There is wisdom in age, and perhaps you should reconsider these things and not just set them aside because you are happy now. You should admit that thinking of the future is also part of our life. You take care. Have a great MyLot experience!

Well, they are wrong, children are not made for the purpose of taking care of their parents when they get old, children just does out of respect and love, and expecting it like that is way off... And, to each its own...if it's for them, they don't have the right to shove their ideals down your throat...if your happy where you are then they should leave you alone, some people are just not longing for a family of their own...

Actually they have a point it's just that the important thing to remember that the reason you want to raise a kid of your own because you want to be happy, and in the future that you will get old, you will not worry because you know that you will have a kids who will love you and give who care specially when you get ill or weak. They will be the one who will strengthen you and satisfy you. Maybe this time you are happy, but have you already consider your future, when you get old? who will take care of you? who will be your happiness and where will you hold on...? Think of this
