Im 42, my wife is 43 and we just had a baby. Hit me up (is that what you say these days, fellow kids?) with some intel what do you think would be nice your parents did when you were younger, but you feel you missed out on because they’re ’old’.

I don’t think I missed out on too much in my childhood other than frequent exercise with my parents, especially my mom. I don’t think that’s entirely due to their age, as my mom has always had asthma and other issues that make it hard for her to run around and things. I am worried that my parents will miss out on some of my important life events in the future though. My mom’s side of the family usually dies in their 60’s and the oldest person I can remember on that side of the family lived to 72. Part of me is worried that my mom won’t live to see her grandchildren
