When a person is a adult, there is very little you can do. For you, it's your husband, for me, it's my parents!
As for DH, I can say and remind but end of the day it is up to himself to moderate and take precaution. If I say more, he not happy. I am also not one to nag so I just tell him he should know himself and his own health. Just the other day he msged say he had dinner with business partners, drank η½ι a bit giddy already.
I just heard that my father (nearly 85, in good health, but still!) climbed a 6ft ladder to change a light bulb rather than ask for help. My mother said she scolded him, but he refused to listen. And my mother is talking about renewing the COE of her car (due in 2 yrs time, and she's the same age as my father!). She wasn't the best of drivers even when young. Luckily she only drives to nearby and familiar places. I've been trying to get them to realise that being older means that their abilities will decrease, but they refuse to see it!
Maybe I'll be as bad when I'm their age - I hope not! -

Slmkhoo, your dad and my dad good friends. Dad is 83yrs old. I went back to see him standing on a ladder changing the lights. Another time I see him standing on top of the kitchen cabinet varnishing the top cabinet. That is despite him already telling us that his legs are weak already and co-ordination a bit off. He has taken quite a few tumbles just while walking to the market. The worse was when he fell while out for his morning exercise, bruised and scraped knee, bruised chin and knocked out a tooth. We had a shock when we saw him during our weekly visits as he refused to let mum call to tell us what happened. He said his legs refused to co-operate and he fell forward. Dad has given mum quite a few scares. When we tell him not to do all these, he will tell us he knows what he is doing and to stop treating him like an invalid.

They're not just friends, I think they are identical twins! My father has also fallen during walks! But he can't hide the injurise as easily as he picks my nephew up after school a few times a week, and so my brother will hear about any extra bruises, cuts etc. And that last line describes exactly the situation.

Unfortunately, we bring up our sons to be \"strong\" - and this is what happens to them when they are old. But old women can be just as stubborn, but they will be stubborn about other things.

I am just thinking....what is \"succeed in life\"? ...[/quote] -
For those who are seeking, eg. seeking purpose in life, they found what they were seeking.
For those who have reached their check point, eg. Bill G, Mark Z, how do they choose to do next.
For those who are on their journeys, how do they drive in their journey.
Everyone is on different stages, so there is no one single point of success. -

I just guess esp surrounded by more female members and/or with younger boy(s) the instinct will just auto kick in ba.
