  If that thought sounds awful, don't have kids. Seriously. And not because you'd find it awful to pay for their college fees or help take care of them while they are settling down. But because that's the easy part. The hard part is realizing that you're in it for life. It's not a 20-and-done commitment. It can be a life-long commitment, and beyond. But if that's your answers, you mentally aren't prepared for parenthood. Not that everyone who has children are ready.

  I'm not sure it's entirely true. I think with increasing life expectancy most people are settled into their lives long before their parents die. Speaking as a parent I can see that I'll never stop wanting to be a father to my children and making their lives better in whatever way I can, but speaking as a child my only wish for my father is that he enjoys the rest of his life and if that involves him spending his money (that he earned and that, not to put too fine a point on it, I have no right at all to) then so be it. Essentially as a parent, it's something you'll want to do, but I'm not convinced that it's something your children will expect of you.
