Your parents are the one who brough you up afterall, you want your kids to do the same to you ?

this is not an easy topics....
my view is to help older folks to get into "The Third Stage of Life"
but as you said they have a very stronge sense of opinion accumulated over the years that are not easily let go. And expectation from younger folks to want to see their views need to be patient.
But again so far i have not succeeded. At the end of the day it is still the individual who gain the wisdom of aging could understand "The third stage of life"

I have a pretty damn good relationship with my folks. Find something in common with them and work from there. For example, when i'm back home, i play tennis, squash, golf, ski, run, bike, watch movies, and help with landscaping for my dad. He's a pretty cool guy tho. I cook, do chores, walk the dogs, and keep my mom company when back in town. I was always close to them though; safe to say that my parents are one of my best friends. and i prob tell them everything, from the girls im seeing, to the grades im gettin. It's their advice's you dont want to turn a deaf ear to. You grow up learning from their mistakes, and it's never too late to reconnect with them.

so what is the "Third Stage of life" begining at 65 - 70 yr of age.
I guess this definition might be different from people to people...
for me i would like to see that older folks start to reliquished their role as parents and not dictate the next generation way of life for Good or for Worst.
While reviewing how they had lead their life and decide how to transform their life. A sense of fulfilment. And how they want to lead their life till the end.
There is alot of work and not sit together in the evening at the bus stop with other old folks talking about shit.

well my dads 60 right now, and i damn well hope that when he reaches this so called "third stage of life", he'll still call me son. I would hope, that he would never relinquish his role as a parent, because I wont ever stop calling him my father: Its not so much so out of respect, but as a sign of love.
I don't know about anybody else's parents, but my parents never dictated how i'd live my life, they only guided. And maybe the reason why old folks are so angry all the time is because of cynical young people that think that they own the world.
Frankly, I would hope that my dad and mom will still be able to pass on advice, since i will still refer to them as my mentor, best friend and foremost, parent.
When i get to my so called "third stage of my life", I'd honestly hope that I won't be "reviewing" my life, and regretting the "better" past. I'd hope that my children by that time, will retain the love to call me dad.

Well, there goes my nerd rage. Dont take it personally, its just a point of view i wanted to get across to Francesco.

you will grow old one day...
its part and parcel of life.

I ignore them. I'm a private person. I usually avoid people I dislike.
