So when will you decide to stop driving?
Sounds like a crazy question, right? There was a recent poll done by a local radio station on what age someone should stop driving. The last results showed that most voted for age 70-84 as the time someone should stop driving. But, the stats show older drivers are safer drivers than younger drivers. So, what do you think is the appropriate age or situation for you to stop driving? Vote and let us know why you voted that way.

I have a friend who is 102 and she is an excellent driver. She lives alone, and is finishing her 3rd book. She does Tai Chi every day and the hula. She's a retired nurse who lived through internment in the Japanese camps here in the US during WW2 and takes very good care of herself. She still gives presentations about this experience. She is obviously an anomaly but she gives me inspiration to live life to the fullest.
How does birth order change the way you caregive?
Have you ever consider the impact of birth order on who gets to do what (or wants to do what) when you are caregiving for a parent or grandparent? Does gender matter along with birth order? What have you found to be true?? Share your experiences here with each other. I have some thoughts but want to see what others are have found to be true before I bias any answers (haha). Thanks!!

Yes, I think it does matter. Often the oldest child is the one selected to be the executor or health care directive person. I've seen in my husband's family that him being chosen over a younger sister contributed to an already broken relationship between he and his sister. Given her lifestyle, he was also the best choice, but it complicated the situation for sure.
