Re: The elderly don't need handling with kid gloves!
My experience with younger people is that they don't treat me any differently to one of their friends - particularly my daughter in law Paula - she's 32 and we have some right laughs together - go swimming - hill walking. She's like a best friend.Re: The elderly don't need handling with kid gloves!

I don't feel that I am being treated any different by the younger generation. However, I do think some of the older generation tend to treat the younger generation condescendingly.

Re: The elderly don't need handling with kid gloves!
What really really annoys me is when sometimes I say something to a stranger and they say "bless" as if I've said something unbearably cute and dotty. They tend to use that stupid voice they would use on kittens and small babies. I could smash their heads in - ah, bless.Re: The elderly don't need handling with kid gloves!
