I think plenty of people talk about "oh, I would never want my mother/grandmother/whatever to have to live in a nursing home."
How many of us are really doing something about that, though? How many of us are considering not only the needs of our current household, but the future members-- not only future children or a future spouse, but our own parents and brothers and sisters who may be in need?
And that, by the way, is why I want a house bigger than my current household can fill. I'm thinking that someday I may share a roof with my parents again, and whatever I need to do so that it's not an inconvenience, or anything that makes them feel unwanted in my house, is a blessing.
