That's a good point. You kinda lose your kids once you take the pill. On the flip side though, who's putting who in the nursing home now?
Why do you lose your kids? You could still be there
I think there's a certain power dynamic that comes with looking and acting older. If you look the same age or younger than your kids, that power dynamic is most likely going to slowly shift. It'd be like if you're in your 40s working for a guy who looks like he's in his 20s. While possible, I imagine it'd be a challenging arrangement. Not to mention how your kids would feel about your decision as a parent to take an age reversal pill.
I think there's an assumption that kids are about 20 years younger than the one taking the pill, this will not always be true. In the US women's median age for giving birth had hit 30 in 2022, I would expect that age is even higher in men.
So, if you're 45 and your child is 15, after taking the pill you'll be 25 which looks like an adult enough for a 15 year old
