She’s almost 70, spend all day watching q-anon style of videos (but in Spanish) and every day she’s anguished about something new, last week was asking us to start digging a nuclear shelter because Russia was dropped a nuclear bomb over Ukraine. Before that she was begging us to install reinforced doors because the indigenous population were about to invade the cities and kill everyone with poisonous arrows. I have access to her YouTube account and I’m trying to unsubscribe and report the videos, but the reccomended videos keep feeding her more crazy shit.
Your mum is 70. As far as you’re concerned, you’re her Guardian now. Block that shit and put old NatGeo specials on repeat. “Old” because the current NatGeo is shitty Yank Trucker Alien Tuna Trash. You must treat her like a child who needs guidance and fresh air. Limit the tv and internet to 3 hours a day. Make her spend daytime hours socializing irl with pensioners club etc.
70 isn’t THAT old.
Anyone who reaches the average age of a U.S. Senator is basically senile.
My dad is 70 in a few years and still has Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and various other aerospace companies asking him to consult for them in his retirement.
I don’t totally disagree with you, but let’s not generalize.
What? That’s pretty insulting, really - your statement could be applied to any age. Generalisation isn’t cool.
How many 70 year olds do you know? Because the ones I know are either still in work or fully active. Retirement age here in the UK is 67, are you saying those in full time work should be treated like children? My mum and dad are in that age group and Dad’s set up his own Plex server for christ’s sake.
The people I know who have the worst issues with social media and shit like that are half the age, and the less said about my daughter’s age group and their tiktok addiction the better.
