    there must be two of you lumped in one account.

  5. I went through that with my mom.  You will just have to talk to them and tell them how you feel but you also need to let them feel they are taking care of you because it is all done out of love and nothing else.

    When my mom got a little older I felt like it was my responsibility to make sure she is safe and healthy but she felt like I was just telling her what to do.  I did learn to let her live her life and only speak up if I was extremely worried about something.  But that took time and her telling me over and over (nicely and with love) that she can still make decisions for herself.

  6. tell them to back off. you're still young at heart girl. you'll decide when you wear slippers and cardigans lol. live your life

  7. just try to be like ur 25 again love life cause life almost coming to an end for you:)

  8. Have you heard the saying once an adult...twice a child

  9. Goodness didn't you know 60 is the new 40? Are you dependent on them? If you are then get a job, get on your own and tell them what to do. YOU are in charge! You are the MOM. Mom's tell kids what to do not the other way around. I am 61, remarried a much younger man last year, have a wonderful life. I had to "redo" myself. Get some confidence and take responsibility for my own life. It paid off.

    So get out there girl!! Get a new hairdo, shave those legs, put on some make up and have some fun.

  10. Tell them to back off and butt out.  Point out to them that you are not senile.  Point out that you don't tell them how to live their lives and would like the same respect.

  11. Well you could always try telling them you brought them into this world and you will take them out if they don't stay out of your business.  You are still the Mom.  xox

    The answer is simple "TELL THE KIDS WHERE TO GO"

    I am 72 and I simply have tell them I rule my life You rule yours and if I need your help I will ask for it.

  13. you should watch the movie "The Bucket List"

    it has a good story with good moral values. it will surely help you with your situation as it is a story of two old people who are likely to die of old age and they plan to do things they have never done

  14. lol You mean they actually waited? My kids have been telling me what I should do on occasion ever since each reached 18-21 years of age, and I have four of 'em now, the youngest just turned 21. I'm 55, BTW.

    I just smile, nod and do what I feel is best.....if any of them get too vocal a 'I've managed this far, infact I even raised four kids on the way, right?'

    As long as they do it with affection & respect just put up with it good naturedly however, if any of them become aggressive or disrespectful, hey, you ARE the Mom no matter how old you & they are.....put them in their place the same way you did when they were children....they'll 'get it'......and don't forget to tack on a 'discussion closed'-and refuse to continue the subject...good luck.
