This lady down the street from me (my sister considers her a sort of "grandmother/mother" to her) ... I believe this lady is 70? 71? Anyway, her daughter lives with her, and she cuts her grass. Daughter is 40, I believe. My Mom used to cut her and Dad's grass, but, she is now in a nursing home w/ Alzheimer's (advanced stages). She has not cut their grass this whole year, I have cut it. I don't mind! I love to do it! I love the exercise! Anyway, this "neighbor lady" down the street from us... says I should not cut it, says my dad should cut it himself! Keep in mind, he's 70, has diabetes, bladder cancer, and a couple of other minor problems... he also has a handicapped tag for the car! Her daughter cuts her grass, perhaps I should tell her to cut her own grass as well? Next time she says 'I should not cut my dad's grass'??? hmmm... what would YOU say? this is a lady you have to be very loud to... very firm...! Would you tell her off??? =) I'd like to! lol!

first time, she told me dad should cut it himself, I was nice and told her I like to cut his grass... 2nd time, she asked if I was still cutting the grass, I said, yep! 3rd time, she told my sister my dad should cut it himself! pffft...

I'd lose it pretty fast and tell her to shut her _ing mouth and go home. My dad and grandmother has alzheimers.

No, just tell her to have a nice day and otherwise engage her in idle chatter while cutting the grass (like you intended to do all along).Arguing with the elderly is generally a losing proposition, and over time she'll grow to enjoy your company. You'll enjoy hers too and the comments will be just a minor annoyance. By the way, that's a great thing you're doing. Good for you.

I would tell her my dad would be happy to cut his own grass after she cuts hers.

She may have dementia or "old bittie itis". Avoid her when possible. If she makes comments say "Thank you for your opinion" and nothing more. Don't waste your time arguing with the mentally incompetent.

I'd tell her to mind her own business. Its not directly affecting her so she should shove off
