You assume your kids are going to be your care takers? What makes you think your kids won't move away?

I never said that, but statistically and anecdotally when you get older your first line of support is your family. When you have no family you have no first line of support.

Statistically and anecdotally, if you only make children so they will take care of you when you're old, they will ditch your sorry ass at the fist opportunity.
