Do you have a plan, or hope that your children will help and cope?

Funny that, because my wife and me were chatting about this yesterday. 

 

One of our neighbours on street,  passed away, was 58. Retired only 3 years ago. He and his wife had no kids. Now he's died unexpectedly and only company she has are the 2 dogs.

 

My wife works in a school and chatting to some teachers etc some say they'll never have children- amongst the reasons were " too much responsibility" and "ruins body".

 

Anyway, I said to Mrs that it's easy to say all this when young, but when times comes and you're 60+  and alone- you'll notice it.

 

Back on subject,  we have 3 kids. One boy, two girls. I expect my son to stay with us until we're old, be married and have kids running around the house. Even if the younger girls stay,  they're welcome.  I told my lad, even if I go young, look after your mum.

While I've been convalescing my son has been tremendous,  shopping,  gardening,  coming home at lunchtimes making lunches,  bringing items on the way home,  taking us out in the car - and when I was in hospital he came every day with my other son bringing anything I needed,  clean nightdress e.g.

 

That's great. Sometimes kids can be a blessing 🙌

So you've answered my question, conversely. You're looking after your Mum...
