[quote=ELLEN77,253263]I think the old time of the Dink Family will not be so happy than those with kids. In China, there is also a saying that 养儿防老(Yang3 er2 fang2 lao3), which means that we born children to prepare for the old age. The older generations know especially well of its meaning. I have heard from my grandma that an old man weak in the eyes was dead in the fire when cooking, just because he was single and had no kids and family members beside. Of Course with the improvement of living styles we could ask some one to specially attend to us when we are old, but we'll feel quite lonely then in the bottom of heart, especially when our life partner is gone.
