[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that it is best if mum is the word & you do not say anything to the parents.

Just do your job + assume the parents know what they are doing. :)

[b]You said sixty is old.
You must be in your early-20’s, right?[/b][/quote]

Seriously.  I'm an old mom - young children in my early 50's.  You can smell the youthful ageism and entitlement a mile away with this one.[/quote]

My DB is early 50s, youngest child is 5.  He’s fit, but constantly exhausted by kids, and he flat out tells them he can’t do some things anymore because he’s getting older and they’re getting older/heavier/faster.  He was fine for toddlers and preschoolers, but it is starting to take a toll.  He’s also starting to realize that he will be eligible for Medicare as kids graduate from high school.[/quote]

OP here and my mom is in her early 50s and gets tired a lot and always says she doesn’t feel as energized as she felt when she was younger. I was/am concerned about her age, but who knows maybe she’s strong and energetic. The point that I am more concerned about is her being all 10 days with the kids. I know I would need a break and rest time if I was her. Everyone is different and everyone here is assuming ALL older people have the same physical capability. When the time gets closer, I’ll see what B/DB tell me. Maybe they’ll ask me to stay late or come in the weekend. But I will decline and tell them I need to rest up too. [/quote]
