I do love children but I don't want to have kids of my own. HOw ironic! Sus, nahan jd ko mag duwa2x sa mga bata being an elementary teacher in Profession but Dili Lang jd ko nahan nga naa ko anak. Too much responsibility and what if Dili nako ka raise ug sakto ang bata? Pag dako eithier ma burus or mag adik2x. Solo flight nlang sa kinabuhi

u may look at things differently for now because u maybe still young. different folks, different strokes. its good when u r blessed with a big family, lots of siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, lolas, lolos. but then, kung ikaw ang type sa taw nga imong mga parente idya idya, aho, aho, goodluck. wala pa siguro mo kasulay ug nasakit nga no one is there to even buy your medicines or prepare your food. there are things nga usahay, anak or parent ra ang kaya makabuhat.

i've visited a few homes for the aged where several of the residents have sons and daughters abroad or even here. it's not true that your adult children will ALWAYS want to take good care of you when you're old. it depends on their sense of gratitude to you as a parent.

now i had an adopted grandpa (a kababata/sidekick of my lolo) who had been with us for a long time and when he got hospitalized it was my aunts who took care of the bills. when he died we were all by his side. his blood relatives were just visitors.

blood relations is not a guarantee of affinity. but yeah, if you're a good parent and you sow goodness into your family then most likely you will be treated with goodness in your sunset years.

^^ yes i agree, it's not true that your adult children will always want to take good care of you when you're old, but GENERALLY it's true..

i tell you lahi ra jud imong kaugalingon anak mo take good care of you in your sunset years..

yeah i hope all parents out there would have good adult children who will take care of them, coz if not, the pain would be double.

but i hope having adult children to take care of you in the future is not the primary reason for having your own kids?

ofcorz not.. i raise my kids not for that purpose, and im not even sure if they will take care for us (parent) when we grow old.

as a parent, wala jud na sa akong huna2 nga gipadaku ug gipangga nako akong mga anak kay para sila ang moalima nako inig ka tigulang nako. true enough, sakit dawaton nga atong anak ingon ana ka walay puangod nga basta lang ta ibilin sa home for the aged or elderly homes, unsa man gani ang ilang rason, wala man tay mahimo kung ila man gani gi prioritize ang ilang lives. pero i tell u, more often than not, moatiman man jud ang anak esp sa atong culture. maybe its because of the pressure around pud of pure conscience na lang pud. grabe kaau ang mga reactions kung wala nimo alimahi imong ginikanan nga masakiton jud...maka dungog jud ka anang mga estorya sa lain nga, grabe sad mga anaka oi....ako kay anak pa man sad ko, naa pa man akong mga parents, pero para nako, dili nako i deprive akong mga parents sa gamay nga panahon nga nahabilin nila diri sa kalibutan oi. pagka wala na lang jud siguro nakoy kunsensya kung dili nako alimahan akong ginikanan. how can i expect others to treat my parents right if they see that even the children couldnt care less

[clinically.dead]

Ooh, highfives all around. I'm also fine with not having children. Lucky for me that my two elder sisters already have kids of their own so my parents aren't bugging me with providing them with grandkids. I don't think I'd be a good parent anyway, I have very minimum patience and tolerance for kids.
