Difference between revisions of "Adapt to Aging and Elderly Parents"

As we grow older, our parents tend to become challenging and sometimes interfering as we ourselves try to mold and create a life of our own. With age our parents lose their memories, become stubborn and question any suggestions made by their children or grandchildren. They have a right to be "right", for they've been around much longer and their wisdom and experiences in life quite outshine yours.

# Always remember that disagreements are a normal part of daily life. If everyone agreed on everything, life will become mundane and monotonous. Respect the decisions and values of the older generation. They simply have a different view on life that may not be in keeping with up to date technology and modern times. They have raised you, so give them some credit for the way you turned out. Try to meet them halfway by blending your own ideals with those of theirs. You may come up with a spectacular solution that you never thought of before.
