"Nearly 79 and was caught by a neighbour up a ladder taking the summer house down. Neighbour saw her and did it for her. She's had a bollocking of me and my sister but she takes no notice. She forgets how old she is. How have you got your parents to slow down as they get older. She's bloody 80 in 18 months she will end up really hurting herself" I have to say, I admire her spirit | |||

"Cancer has slowed my mum down Really sorry to here that" it’s fine, she’s totally prepared for the inevitable, but as you say, they’re so proud and stubborn they won’t let anyone else do things for them. | |||

"My dad will be 80 in January. The other week I had to stand at the bottom of the ladder while he was on the garage roof. We disagreed regularly about what he does. But he always says if he stops he may not move again. The compromise is I'm actually there while he does it rather than doing it on his own like he would otherwise. So I will be standing at the bottom of ladders freaking out until he decides it's time to change roles " Yes I think that is the answer. But they are such a bloody worry | |||

They just get on with things that they need to do. I understand your worry but it's amazing the energy and attitude still. | |||

"Sadly both mine are gone , I'd probably be worrying like you too if either of them was still here . I guess it's a bit like when we when were younger and did what we wanted,despite what our parents told us. Just be there for her & keep checking up on her ,try to give her a bit of independence as much as you can .I know its difficult." I do give her her independence. Even when my stepdad was alive she was independent. The worst thing is she looks about 65 so it's hard to realise how old she is. But it really worried me her being up a ladder | |||

"I’d say let her crack on, inactivity does the most harm " This, it's when people stop doing things that the body will start to slowdown. | |||
