[quote=Anonymous]Good points, but I'd like to somewhat refute your implication that this is a flaw of old people. Your example of your father and FIL are simple anecdotes that don't extrapolate to other old people. Here's my anecdotal data: When my son was a baby in the 1970s my mother insisted on buying us a car seat even though many people did not use them at all then. She was in her 50s. Later when she was in her 80s she would sit on the front porch and get upset that the neighbors were allowing their young kids to ride bikes without helmets. She would yell at the kids "Your parents don't love you!" which I thought was a bit extreme but it worked, the parents got the kids some helmets and made them wear them.[/quote]
