Turning into our parents

This happens gradually and sometimes unknowingly, but for me the process was accelerated by having my daughter. I knew this was happening to me when:
  • The high point of any day was going out for coffee and cake.
  • I had to turn the radio off when I parked the car, there was heavy rain or it was busy on the motorway.
  • I struggled to keep up with technology, for example, I had accidentally turned on the torch on my i phone and had it on for 2 hours before the doctor at my appointment later that morning told me how to turn it off.
  • I forgot the name of the Foo Fighters and referred to them as David Grohl’s band. 
  • I started buying pot plants.
  • I enjoyed watching the Antiques Road Show.
  • Occasionally, it may take me 5-10 minutes to remember how old I am.
