[QUOTE="BeckyW, post: 22905, member: 1327"] Congratulations Linda's dad!!! My dad is 82 now. Other than heart problems, he is in reasonably good shape. He will not try to do any of those things for himself anymore. He is an excellent cook, actually taught my mom how to cook, when they first married. He taught me too starting when I was about 10. After my mom passed away seven years ago, he became the take out king (probably contributed much to his heart problems) and absolutely refuses to go near a washer and dryer. My mom used to fuss because he wouldn't let her do laundry after he retired. He won't even stir food in a pot on the stove and actually told me one time "I am not a maid, I will not take those clothes out of the dryer when it stops." So I do it all for him. I don't really mind it but I do miss him being so independent. It's like he lost his all his know how when mom passed. He will occasionally tell me how to cook something the way he likes it if I keep after him long enough but that's about it. It is sad to me because it seems like he is volunteering to give up some of his independance. [/QUOTE]
