[quote=Anonymous]You need to see bigger picture. The aging parent is trying to engage with you on other level then just usual same old same old and feel relevant .. be helpful, caring and worrying about you in modern way. Why don't you just say; oh got your text, thanks. It helps to know those things. This makes them happy and relevant and feel needed and helpful. Nothing wrong with it. Try it. Parents became truly less and less important to you and they feel it and they miss some role in your life and although this is very little you can give, it is something. They are not having decades and decades to leave, most of the quality life is behind it and the end of the life stick is getting closer and closer and faster and faster. Be grateful for having them around still. Enjoy life and help them feel good in those last years. you will be glad you did. [/quote]
