[quote=Anonymous]My mother took great pride in never exercising. She used to walk a little. That was it. She's never been to a gym, I don't think. She also loves sugary foods and took on the personality of a person who loves to eat ice cream. No one can stop this behavior except for the person themeself. As for falling? I had to accept my parents would fall. They would not move to a new home, and they would not modify their home. They were adults and I could not make them move or make other choices. I decided not to feel guilty about this. Eventually, one fell so hard that their head left a dent in the wallboard, which I then had to have repaired when I prepared the home for sale. So, just wait until they not only fall but then leave you to pick up the pieces. It's not fun. I've been helping with caretaking for around 12 years, and I am BURNED OUT. [/quote]
