I think the scary scenario is not Armegeddon, but a total collapse of the world's power grid. Having much of our electronics, that we rely on today, knocked out and unrepairable is akin to Mad Max style living. Trying to bring up a family in that environment would be far worse than simply having the last one on the planet shut off the lights on the way out.
From microwaves and cellphones to swords, flint and steel, and horses. A romantic notion now, but a truly scary one if we were to face it.
Better to just find a comfy spot to watch the shockwave hit us and end it all in seconds.
