RE: We give more importance to things then people

Yes, you are right. Still, certain boomers criticize my choice to remain child-free. They never think I'm smart because I'm prepared for the future. Instead, they think everyone that is child-free has malicious intentions when the truth is my siblings and I take turns to care for our parents. Selfish people think it's okay if their own child make certain choices but not when others do so.

I don't think it's anyone's business to judge you. No one knows what's going on in your life and what drives you to make these decisions. You must give a deaf ear because you know best what you need in life and how you want to live it. There is no right or wrong in it. To become a parent or not is your choice.
Claiming that millennials neglect their parents for money or material alone is not entirely reflective of the whole truth. Maybe their parents abuse them when they were younger or never spend quality time to care for them. Now that they are angry adults with money so they feel their parents deserve to be neglected. My parents are the lucky ones of the extreme end because if they migrated to Western countries, they could get sued for child neglect. It's generational difference. My peers have professionals as parents that cherish them even before they were born. They got a head start at everything. My siblings and I got carefree dysfunctional parents who got married to fit into society's model of the ideal life.
Oh my dear, I absolutely agree with you, it's not just a one way straight forward issue which comes from the children side, it also depends on the upbringing of the child. There are many parents who behave selfish in their younger days and neglect their children and then in old age complain about their children not taking care of them. But at large nowadays I do observe that children get disconnected from their parents even if they have been well raised.
Yes there is no one side to blame here, it is all the environment that one goes through.
