[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these people talking about assisted living facilities - my grandfather is 91 and still living on his own. He said he is starting to feel like he has less strength, but still cooks, drives, goes shopping on his own. My 77 year old neighbor still rides his bike on the trail and is more active than my DH. My gym is full of fit active old people. Even my out of shape, 81 year old MIL is still fine living on her own and is as sharp as ever.[/quote] still not the norm. My FIL and mother have/had dementia early 80s. My MIL died at 90, multiple strokes in the past 5 years. My father is 90 and is fairly healthy. But, he's an outlier. The problem with having a baby that late is that you are burdening your child with elder care just when they are starting out. Not to mention the embarrassment of having such an old mom when the child is school aged. -signed a 53 yr old who had her kids at 35 and 38.[/quote]
