15 Ways Your Parents Become Your Children

Dad, please use your inside voice. This is a theater. Sometimes parents need a little help. Be sure to talk with them about long term care planning.

1. They require constant attention.

2. And the moment you take your eyes off them, they get into some mischief.

3. But they also crash. Hard.

4. They're obsessed with their toys.

5. They mess around with complicated, expensive things they don't understand.

6. They don't know their limits.

7. And they think they're invincible.

8. They say literally whatever comes to their mind no matter how offensive.

9. And they are very open about their opinions on everything.

10. They expect you to serve as their personal chauffeur.

11. They come to dominate your Facebook wall.

12. They become fragile, and you get very protective.

13. And you spend a million hours with them at the doctor's office for various checkups.

14. They need so much help with everything, but you hold back, because you know it's more important that they learn to teach themselves.

15. And of course: Birthdays are like a really big deal.

Do the mature thing. Talk to your parents about long term care planning.
