[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom (60) with a history of lung problems told me not to treat her like she’s senile and made sure to attend every possible store she could, planned to go to a work conference (it was cancelled thanks goodness), and went to her club meeting. If I’d did not think that before, now I am having my doubts about her cognitive abilities. [/quote]

My parents went to the mall, out to dinner with friends, and are upset the concert they were going to has been canceled. ILs posted on FB that they went to dinner and a movie last night. Talking to my friends and a lot of their boomer parents seem to be downplaying this to the point of recklessness. WTF![/quote]

My parents, who are 63 and 70, DGAF and brag about how they're out at restaurants and bars. And guilt-tripping me for cancelling a visit in early April.

I ordered carry-out from a local deli today (I flew back from LA last night--a saga unto itself--and have no food at home) and was shocked at the number of old people there.[/quote]
