Disown them, heh, at least, if they keep doing it for no reason other than to be vindictive/cruel, they aren't worth your time or concern.
LOL that is wrong and probably the funniest thing I have read today. Thank you."What'd You Do If An Elderly Relative Insults You?"
Depends
"What'd You Do If An Elderly Relative Insults You?"
The value of family is dying fast, some replies here are very disturbing to me, we're in the age of 'put them in a home' when our family members age.
Agreed..when and if it is monetarily possible yes by all means...but this should apply to any loved one young or old."What'd You Do If An Elderly Relative Insults You?" we should be caring for our elders at home
That is arguable but generally true, though not everyone is guaranteed a long life in which to grow old. At any rate, anyone that calls you family should be supportive to you as long as it is not to a fault and on the respect thing I share your sentiment...though I honestly think most here were joking when they made a few of those posts but I doubt they have low respect for the elderly....I mean some of the people cracking jokes are considerable as elderly to some of the younger folk at this forum"What'd You Do If An Elderly Relative Insults You?"we're all going to be old one day, then it will be us this sort of thing is discussed about. I guarantee that every one of us in this thread will hope for an understanding and supportive response from our 'should be' loving family.

Oh, lay off them. They are just envious of us young, virile folk
Just because someone is older doesn't neccessarily mean they are wiser.
That's one thing that always impresses me traveling in many Asian countries; when I get on a crowded bus or subway or train there is always a young person who will jump up to offer me their seat..............and beam with pride to their friend when I accept!
Adam it is not so easy when this is your mother who is in constant terrible pain with not very long to live.
I really pray that you are joking.If you're close to a relative before the insult, then I agree, but if said relative has been that way since you've known them, I wouldn't really care if they were dying or in pain, personally.
Good luck with that attitude...If you're close to a relative before the insult, then I agree, but if said relative has been that way since you've known them, I wouldn't really care if they were dying or in pain, personally.
