I guess it all depends. My wife has cancer and her memory is not like it use to be. My son lives 2 miles away and he has us come over once a week for dinner and just to visit. One of my daughters lives 6 miles a week and she takes my wife to some of her appointments to give me a break. My daughter that lives 4 states away calls once a week just to see how things are going.
But kids certainly aren’t for everyone, especially if you aren’t going to invest time in them. When they were small I was their softball and soccer coach and my wife read to them and we both helped them with schoolwork, etc.. But way to many have kids that shouldn’t be having them IMO.
