Is it selfish to raise children to prevent old age?

Raising children for old age and saving grain for hunger. I don't think it's selfish. This is a matter of course. Our parents raised us. Since we were born, they have taken great pains and spent huge sums of money to bring us up, providing us with food, clothing, housing and transportation, going to school and even finding a job and starting a family. Their contribution and money far exceed the cost of providing for the aged when they are old. Parents' love for us is selfless, and raising children to prevent old age is just a joke. I remember when I was a child, I asked my parents why men and women had to have children. Mother replied that we were served to grow old.

Actually, think about it. Is that really the case? There are many ways to provide for the elderly, such as hiring a nanny and hoping for a nursing home, which costs less than giving birth to a child and saves trouble and money. Even if I have grown up now, my parents have retired in their fifties. It stands to reason that two people should be more comfortable when they receive a pension, but it is not the same as worrying about their children every day. On the day when parents are too old to walk, we naturally have to take care of them and honor them. This is not only stipulated by law, but also emotional. I am willing to repay my parents with all my love.

In addition, can raising children now really prevent old age? ? How many children are unfilial and how many empty nesters. It is really not as good as "saving money for the elderly" and "buying a house for the elderly". Children say that the burden of providing for the aged is heavy. What's the big deal? That's because you don't want to spend money on your parents! ! Now there are pensions, social security and medical insurance. How much can it cost you to provide for the aged? ! When you were young, your parents gave you all the delicious food and clothes. Now that your parents are old, they just need your company every month and spend hundreds of dollars. Is it difficult to provide for the aged? Now, how many parents will continue to work with their pensions, subsidize their children and take care of their grandchildren after retirement? So we can still say, raise children to prevent old age?

So, you grew up with me and I grew old with you. This is my constant promise to my parents. ?
