Not arguing, you're allowed to not have children and be happy about it, but want to point out you totally can move across the country and take care of family when you have children. I literally did it this year, took my oldest son and drove cross county to take care of my father who got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Then a week later my wife and other children came.

I took care of both my parents as they were dying while having children simultaneously. Probably the hardest period of my life, but as an only child it was my cross to bare.
Good on you both for doing that. You know why it is important.
I was not saying kids and caring are incompatible. I was saying that we have been able to fill a role that not only helps our parents, but also eases the burden on my siblings. Kids were not part of my life trajectory, but family has still been a source of deep meaning.
