[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]68 seems young to be worried about this unless you have reason to think she has earlier onset dementia or has significant physical health problems. We are going through this with my mom, but she is a still-independent 89! At 68, she would have been absolutely puzzled at any suggestion that she needed to be nearby because of health issues, etc. My mom, as I said, is still independent at 89, still drives, etc. BUT at 89, I do wish she lived closer to either my sister or me. It is a hard sell because she lives in a beautiful place with a lot of friends and activities. Anyway - good luck![/quote] How old 68 is really depends on the person. Although she didn't have any major illnesses my mom (and my DH's parents for that matter) just seemed prematurely ready to act old. In my mom's case it's like she wants people to take care of her and it's been this way since her early 60s. [/quote] Yeah, you are very lucky pp[/quote]
