[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's normal for people to respond truthfully when asked about a relative. What's he supposed to do when his mom asked about your mom? Lie? It's not lack of common sense. He deals with things in a straightforward manner and your plans of when to tell and whom to tell are much too complicated.

I view news of this nature as something that you don't volunteer, but when asked by people who care, you don't lie either. [/quote]

When someone asks how is Larlo doing, I talk about their sports, music, school, friends.  I don't launch into their latest doctor's visit.  Weird that you jump straight to health.[/quote]

Your Larlo example is appropriate for a child. It's not appropriate for adults. How is YOUR mother doing with her tennis game and understanding Lizzo's lyrics of her latest song and her 65th HS reunion? See how ridiculous that sounds. [/quote]

It would seem perfectly reasonably to talk about the latest play the grandmother attended, or the game night, or book club, or the volunteering she does with her church, or the trip she is planning this summer or, or, so many other things besides health.  Its like you think the only thing happening in a grand parent's life is their health.  #ageism?[/quote]

Ageism?? I can assure you, if my child had cancer and someone asked how he was doing, I wouldn't say, "Oh, his baseball team is doing great!"  You are a weirdo.[/quote]
