Holy crap you guys...

It's just something that naturally happens with most families and I never said it's the reason why people have kids, I said it's one advantage about having kids vs not having them. In the majority of cases it's not an obligation people feel and I'm sorry if you had to have it imposed on you, but you can't use your anecdote to make a general opinion.

You're in the right here. These people are selfish ingrates who have no family values, and no appreciation for the gift of life and sunk cost of those before them so that they could have success. We all stand on the shoulders of giants.

I love my mom with all my heart and hope I am successful enough to give her back all the care she gave to me out of GRATITUDE, not obligation.
