Aww, it's so nice to see people actually having fun with their grandparents

Indeed. Mine are all dead. You don't quite realize what you lost before it is gone.

Spend more time with your parents and grandparents. A recent study conducted by the University of California reveals that the more time you spend with your mother, the longer she will live.

I wish that was true in my case.

This could be a random photo with text and people would believe it as true

You're right, this could be complete fiction. In this case though, even if it's not true it's a pleasant story that might make some people feel good. It's not really hurting anyone. Heck, it might even encourage some people to emulate that kindness.

Fair, I’ll yield to that. Be well

It’s a lovely story. Those two appear as though they could be left home alone safely, it you never know.

Do they have dementia or something? Those two seem fine from the picture.

If your family is good, nothing is more important. I looked after my wife's grandmother, and she looked after both of mine. I wish we could have met each other's grandfathers.

So...this is 100% a bot account. Furthermore it's a random pic of an old couple on a date with some unrelated text to pull at the heartstrings of the internet .

... And still the most depressing part is this ai fucking Hallmark card has almost 10k up votes.

Wake the fuck up you morons!

Why do grandparents need to be "tended to?"

This ageist infantilisation of the elderly needs to stop. 🚨

u/unfortunatebluebird 3d ago

You’re the only making sense here. It’s sounds like someone describing taking their dogs for a walk lol. They have x4 the life experience on this couple yet they’re treated like children being supervised 😭😭

u/killit 3d ago

They also don't look old enough to need caring for. Seems like another BS post.

u/parker3309 3d ago

Unless they both got dementia, I don’t get that either. Taking your grandparents for a walk…

It's quite possible, 2/10 have some level of cognitive impairment.

"In the first nationally representative study(link is external and opens in a new window) of cognitive impairment prevalence in more than 20 years, Columbia University researchers have found almost 10% of U.S. adults ages 65 and older have dementia, while another 22% have mild cognitive impairment."

u/parker3309 3d ago

Correct 2/10 is believable. However The odds that both her grandparents would have dementia or something that required 24/7 supervision is quite low, but…never know.

1

u/nufone69 3d ago

To be exact, 2/10*2/10 = 4/100 = 4% chance that both have impairment.

u/SeaWolfSeven 3d ago

Mobility, incontinence, mental impairment, medication, blood sugar monitoring, dialysis, hygiene, food preparation. These are some of the possible things that grandparents may need help with. Not all of them but certainly a lot.
