Answer 1

my partners parents are in their 80s and the biggest hurdle they face is all the famil members who get really cross because they, the parents, wont leave the farm and go into town like nice respectable old people and instead insist on remaining on the farm, mustering sheep, planting and harvesting grain....

nauthy naughty....

Seriously I do get amused when the other family members get together to discuss 'what is best' for these two very active, though not as active as 40 years ago, very intelligent, if a little slower than 40 years ago.... and amazing people who go out to feed the chooks, jump on their four wheel bike and muster sheep.... and still manage all their day to day task... it is like everyone else is worried about how they might be inconcvenienced by these two people keeping on doing what is right for themselves...

Answer 2

Hey I think that you are a sociology student .
I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND A SURVEY AND I HAVE FOUND TH FOLLOWING :
Old age may bring on a lack of mental sharpness. This can occur because of physical debility. Also, if the mind has been neglected, especially if the Word of God has been neglected, there will be a failure of the mentality.

* In old age, there can be a disorientation to life from the standpoint of success standards. A person looks back and regards life as a failure. Maybe he set goals, and now he is old and never realized the goals. There is a great danger of disillusionment.

* There is a tendency for great increase in mental attitude sins in old age, with emphasis on criticism and judgment. These things are often overlooked in youth; but they are horrible in the elderly.

* There is often a lack of security in old age, especially if the old people can't take care of themselves financially. Their children are in the prime of their lives and often the children's plans do not include them.

* Old age may bring an inability to concentrate, forgetfulness, inability to converse, to hear, to see. So the old person gets used to sitting in a chair daydreaming, vegetating, saying nothing.

* There is sometimes a lack of motive to live, too much idle time, and too much time for complaining. There may be a desire to travel but no means to do so. So there is a lack of significant things to do.

* Old age brings future shock. Old age finds itself out of phase with the younger generations of children and grandchildren. Therefore a dangerous trend can get started toward hypercriticism.

* The older believer may have stopped growing spiritually, or worse, may never have got started. There is, therefore, no edification, no desire for the Word. There is a tendency to stagnate, to become jaded, to rely on the study done years before.

* There can be a tendency toward the negatives of becoming false accusers, gossips, evil speakers, vicious in criticism.

* There is a tendency among older believers to drink quite a lot when they don't have anything else going for them.

* Then, there is the tendency to think that getting old means that a person has some wisdom. So there is the garrulous senior citizen who never stops talking and inflicts continuous boredom on his listeners with his platitudes and homely chatter.
