So many single people priding themselves on being independent and not wanting to have kids. Believing their Careers and Money is all they need. Most of us are unable to foresee how sad it is to grow old alone. Friends and sibling are wonderful. But will Friends and Siblings live their families to come feed you, wipe your azz, bath and dress you when you very ill? And did this for weeks and months until you're good. We will all face sickness and that type of burden is for spouse to handle.

And many of us living away from family and friends. So we're really fukked when things go bad. Back home I remember seeing people moving older Aunt and Uncles into their homes when they get older, most of us won't have that option. We're in cities where we aren't really close to anyone. Not that close.

To the main topic. My mom and her mom were best friends. Hung together everyday until my grandma passed away 12 years ago. No one loves you like your parents. NO ONE. My mom was devasted. But the love she has for her husband, 5 boys and one 1 daughter and the love we have for her, kept her going. She would not have made it without the family she has built. Sadly, when you loss good parents, a big part of you dies too. And if your parents is all you got it's going to be hard on you.

Just seeing how my parents eyes light up when we come over for holidays and any day really makes me want a big family.

I know dating is hard and marriage is scary, but we going to need someone very special in these later years.

My grandma probably wouldn’t be alive rn if I wasn’t around to keep up with her. Saw my other grandma keep up with her mom till she passed. Def keep your family relationships as happy and strong as possible.

The way this society is breaking up people and their families, the transition in the next 50 years will be intense.

Exactly. Black Family aren't even close like that anymore.

My girlfriend had to take care of her grandma's twin in high school. Can't imagine these young girls doing that now.

My mom is doing that for my dad now. Just leave me in the damn hospital if I need that much care. Not trying to make someone else a nurse unwillingly. :damn:

You say that now until it's a bunch of strangers treating you like shyt. No way I'm putting ma dukes in a retirement home...

OP, you're speaking facts but these shortsighted counter-factual ass nikkas don't wanna hear it.

I dream of having a big family as well. At least 5 kids. Watching them all grown up with their own kids has got to be the GOAT experience. Looking over your tribe as a patriarch, knowing they all came from you:wow:

My mom don't give a fukk about me or my kid. bytch got bone cancer and dementia. Babysitting my nephew every Friday, has never held my daughter. When she goes, I'm giving the most vile eulogy ever, and probably smashing her grave stone.

Idgaf, shouldn't have left us out here abandoned :hhh:

Whole generation of people raised by poor single mothers, left out of the economic pie because they're just a walking nut :hhh:
T
hats really sad when you think about it.

It's going to be real chaotic for Black people in 20 years when the fatherless generation are the elders.

I think men get it, it’s women that are in for a rude awakening.

And guess what, they got something for that too. ‘Break generatioanl curses’ culture, ‘just bc somebody blood don’t mean you have to let them inconvenience you’ culture which is essenty code for ‘don’t let that pesky lil ‘family’ thing stop you from trips and brunches’.

And they don’t gaf about other folk family either. There’s a growing sense of vitriol for men’s mothers, they mad they ‘baby’ them and didn’t stop him from being a player :what:

So I co-sign OP but boy that shyt gon get harder and harder. A lot of women want no parts of what REAL life looks like. To get that you may have to settle in other (looks)departments.
