[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elders over age 75 aside….

It’s rude.

It’s rude when they initially forget and it’s doubly rude when people teach them ways, methods and systems not to be so forgetful and they never implement them. 
Then they are rude and irresponsible over and over. [/quote]

Or maybe they forget the “ways, methods and systems “.. Not everybody’s brain processes and retains information in the same ways, and not everyone has the same capacity.  There’s no magic moment of demarcation that starts at age 75 either.

Then they’re handicapped and should try to work with a therapy team on the basics.

My adhd & ASD family members have lists of what to turn off all over each room if their home, they no longer drive given anxiety at older ages, they only worked until age 50, they know their limits and “do the best with what they gave.”

But most are kind, which is required when you’re forgetful and not paying attention. One is “stubborn” and gets angry all the time. That makes things more difficult for him and anybody trying to put up with him. [/quote]

Handicapped? Who uses that word anymore? You sound completely clueless.[/quote]

“Invisible disabilities” people are handicapped.[/quote]
