Anyone else have elderly parents? Stubborn. I mean, holy shit. I'm trying to talk with her on the phone and it's at the point where she can't hear half the things I'm saying. She says she's ok, it makes her look old, it's too expensive, etc.
I tried explaining to her that I can't have a meaningful conversation with her if she doesn't hear half of what I'm saying, but she doesn't seem to get it. On top of that there's proof that the decline of the elderly's mental acuity is much faster if they can't hear well- the harder they work to hear, the faster the decline.
Yes, I'm an adult and probably older than the majority of users of this forum but I needed to vent. You will (if you're lucky) get old too.
Getting old sucks.
