[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in-laws, 83 and 86, are all about with “longevity.” Every single thing they eat and 90% of what they do it based on whatever current science suggests. I love that they are pretty healthy, strong and active, but it’s a bit much and they don’t seem so happy. 
My young adult kids see their grandparents’ lifestyle as limited, my daughter remarking they are living very restricted and obsessed because they’re so scared of dying. I kinda agree, but at least they are making choices and staying healthy.  [/quote]

I'm with your daughter. Limiting the things that make life enjoyable just to make life longer makes no sense to me.[/quote]

I am probably way overstepping but do they even think that maybe their relatives aren’t as excited for the prospect of their living for a long time? 
This is what sort of bothers me. Why do people over 80 think that they inflict zero work on their loved ones? 
I don’t mean them specifically but in general [/quote]
