Are the parents dying young or just having kids late in life? Most of my kids are in their teens or already in college when their parent pass on.
Most of my kids are in college too.
What I usually do is to make them have a baby on her 40s. This way there one of the children can stay there and take care of stuff - as the old ones get real slow, it can take forever to prepare a meal, for example. So I let the kid do that.
