[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But teens have so much going for them, and old people just have loss to look forward to. If it is not the loss of friends and loved ones, it is their failing ability to hear, see or walk. And they are suddenly dependent upon whoever deigns to help him (or is paid to help them). I marvel at old people who find a way to keep their spirits up. [/quote] This is true, and I try to be generous with my time but I think as people age, they become less aware of time pressures on the people around them. They don’t care if an errand takes all day because they have nothing on their agenda, but their caregivers are often juggling multiple tasks in a limited amount of time. I know seniors don’t like losing their independence, but showing some understanding that we have jobs, kids, and maybe health issues of our own would be appreciated. [/quote] Maybe they should be required to take a class to set them straight. [/quote]
