Just stop and think that, one day you will have to be guided in a direction which you would not want to go. Another thing you should think about is the love and patience's that had with you. You should take this time to enjoy being with them because you will not have them forever. You should also take time to talk to them and find out what you have in common; such as, that you are both parents. Just be patient, that is a verdure that is worth while, and why not rub some of it to your parents whom have given you so much. Think about it. Hope this helps.

just think about how your parent maintain patiences with you when you were growing up. Just think about, you have not been put up for adoption, you still have your parent and you never went without food or a place to stay or clothes......there is a blessing in still having a parent with you....i lost both of my parents.....really ask God for strength and patience to do this....the Bible says Honor thy mother and father that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you Answered by willing...Age : 53 1 month ago Edit Delete Vote 0 Answered by willing worker 1 month ago
Frazzled Thank you for you interesting question. Is not that parents get difficult as they age, rather they want to feel as if they were still in their 20's. The reason our aging parents get in our personal life is because they want to feel young, keep in mind that as their bodies start aging their minds start aging too. To keep their minds young they get in their children problems or in family issues. However, once they reach the peek of their aging anatomy , that's when they start acting like children. Aging parents and little children they have to be treated the same, because at most time they just want to get what ever points across that they may have. In addition aging parents only want to get everyone's attention. Answered by Laury D...Age : 34 1 month ago Edit Delete Vote 0 Answered by Laury Dominguez 1 month ago

It is not an easy task. They require the same patience if not more that we have for children. My beautiful mother has dementia. Doctor said, alzheimers couldn't be eliminated. Hurts to see that a woman who was beautifully bilingual can't find the words to tell you what she's having for supper as she stares into the plate, or what day of the week it is. She may even ask her own son, who are you? In my case, my mom was so loving, so devoted and so giving a mother. Now she can be quite a handful. But I can't but remember, she fed me, bathed me, educated me, loved me, and more when all I did was cry and ask, and need. Its my turn to help take care of her. I unfortunately live away and can't do the things I wish I could. She was money wise too, which is a good thing. In this challenged economy,she may have days when she can't remember if she bought the house she lives in, but luckily she did, and she doesn't have to worry about having to go anywhere else. Thank God she can tend to her roses and live in peace. We just love her so much and hope we can have her for a very long, long, long, long time.

As we age so do our parents but unfortunately they still see us as their child. It is almost as if we've not grown in their eyes and they still want to treat us as a child. Just remember that you to might find yourself in the same position if you have children. Patience is based upon the parameters you are willing to set for your relationship with your parent. While we love and appreciate what they've done for us, we still need to live our own lives. Set up a schedule that is clearly defined and explained to the parent as to when you will be available for them and those things that you can and will do. Treasure the good and bad moments because they are only temporary. Before you know they be gone and you don't want to live with the quilt and regret you are currently experiencing.
