Thnx Detox, wasn't trying to be morbid. This isn't the my mommy/daddy is dying thread. It's a thread about parents getting old and being a pain in the ass. We carry one hell of a load as their son.
There is not one thing that we say to them that doesn't result in some sort of complicated misunderstood argument.

its pretty funny that i just a read a post like this as this has been on my mind a lot lately
i work with my dad, and started working with him after i sold my bar/grill 4 years ago we have had a real struggle because i have taken the business into a profitable place with great customers, and i feel resentment about that everyday. kinda like ' i coulda done that, just i was too busy doing this' ya know
there are also some other issues that go on with us, ie his drinking which really bothers me. i drink, dont get me wrong, but i dont drive when drunk, and im not mean to people when im drinking, and i usually remember things the next morning...shit like that really bothers me especially my son being around that nonsense
anyway, back to the issue, i do think about my dad passing, but hes only 65. and thats another question i have, after turning 65, my dad had gotten that old guy mentality...like he's an 90 year old war vet. i always tell him 65 is still pretty yong these days but he wants to be old...which i dont get...he wants to go the bar at 10am and sit there with these old dudes
but i do think about his mortality, what my mom would do afterward, as shes only 51, how i would be, how my kids would take it, lots of other stuff.
ive had plenty of issues with my pops but deep down i know hes a good guy, just not always responsible

Dad was lost to cancer two years ago. Mom gets a call everyday from me. We have dinner every weekend; either she cooks, I cook, or we dine out. I am closer to her now, more than I was with my father before, and more than I am than with my siblings today.

The process is pretty hard on all of us. Process of old age, pain, regret, some guilt and lack of ability to have control is the most difficult to watch and listen to. Takes a ton of patience from us all. Constant stream of negativity with moments of enthusiasm. Way I handle it is insert humor.
Reads as though you're doing a good job accepting all of it. Not easy. WE become the parents and that's fine. Just a break from time time from the patronizing outbursts helps.
We'll all be there one day, some sooner than the rest of us.. Humor always wins I believe when they're uptight - a lot like children that need a quick distraction from a sudden fall.

I'm in the same boat, Search. My dad died when I was a teenager and my mother is getting up there. Communication with her is usually a frustrating struggle these days. Damned if I do or don't every time. It's sad cause I want to connect, but there's always this wall where she wants to hang on to old roles. Seems every conversation ends up with a reference to the past. I love her, but even the simplest conversations turn into to something difficult.

Boy do I know that HL. Mom is everything to us. We lose her strength and capacity then it becomes real challenging beyond words for any man. The progression isn't easy to say the least.

Funny and sad.
They also carried a hell of a load as our parents.
My dad is going to hit 70 this year. He had some health issues last year but he is better now. After that it's like he went down hill fast. I went to visit him yesterday. I was thinking to myself when did my dad get old? It feels like it was almost an instant within the last year.

My dad is in his early 70's. He still sailboat races, but doesn't do much of the work anymore. You can tell he's not nearly as sharp as he used to be. He continually comes up with these little jobs that he needs my help with. I love spending time with him, but it's also not that easy to just drop everything during the middle of the day and meet him at the boat so I can hold a wrench for him.
His latest project is to replace all the wood doors in his condo with higher quality doors.....one at a time. We were at home depot to pick one up....they only had one left. We checked it to make sure it didn't have any gashes or marks on it. It was perfect. We got it up to the counter and he had me check it again. Still perfect. We bring it to the car and he has me check it one more time. Still perfect. We get it home and, bring it in the house, and put it on a couple of saw horses. He has me check it ONE more time before we remove the packaging. STILL perfect.
If that were me, I would have completed the errand in a half hour. Took 2 hours to get it done working with him.
Love him to death and I know I won't complain about this type of thing when he's gone, but when you are busy and have a lot of other obligations, it's hard. Have to remind myself not to sweat the small stuff and to remember all of the things he has done and does for me.

Good thing we have sports betting forums to reflect on dying loved ones.
Would hate to see what people think the superbowl favorite is without some sort of "my parents are old" discussion.
You know there are websites for this morbid shit right? try a google search "I need a attenetion and my parents are old/dying"
This might be the cuntiest comment I've ever read on Covers. Do you even understand how hard that is to do? What in the fuck made you insert such a little bitch comment in a grown man thread? I'm guessing you was robbed of a positive parent experience, simply because if you had parents they would have taught you not to be such a box.
Furthermore, who truly needed attention here? It certainly wasn't the OP, it was the clown who spoke out of turn.
