[quote=Anonymous]You offer to hire someone to help every time they complain and eventually they will either take you up on it or hurt themselves. My elderly FIL insists on cutting his own grass, even though he has bad knees and has gotten heat stroke twice doing it twice and had to go to the hospital once. They live a plane ride away and DH has offered repeatedly to find a neighborhood kid to do it for them. FIL doesn’t trust services and spends a lot of time figuring out watering and fertilizer and seeds etc. He may keel over and die one day taking care of his lawn, but there really isn’t anything we can do about it if he won’t accept help![/quote]
