This wobbly spare tyre around me that's full of cortisol, anxiety, bad diet and broken dreams.

Ugh same as when we order takeaways and the kids get glorious five guys
I never had anything like that as a kid
It was a warmed up pasty from the Bakers Oven when I was a kid. Maybe some beans on the side, too
Doing really responsible 'old people' tit - planning & attending uncle and dad's funerals last month. Then sorting the contents of uncle/aunts house and readying it for sale, last month into this.
Holding a clutch of LPA's for mum/aunt - being the contact on all boring household 'stuff' such as gas, electric, insurance etc, for them as well as my family.
I'm 2 birthdays away from 50. I don't remember my mum and dad doing this for their parents as young, certainly not for aunts/uncles. That said, my aunt had no kids, and my uncle did everything financial/household. Its been relatively easy as they hoarded bills etc right back to the 70's, so it was just finding the more pertinent ones that still had a relevent purpose.
It'll be a relief when the aunts place is sold as its the other side of the country and sorting stuff 'remotely' is a ballache even with a top notch next door neighbour who can pop in to 'rescue and send' stuff.

It's a bit of a moment when you realise you've become the grown up and the roles are reversing.
No experience in life has made me feel old like my dad dying did. I was in my 30s, and he was in his 80s ,and the experience of am elderly person on end of life took a bit innocence away from me.
Asked for pipe cleaners in DIY shop and I don't think the assistant had ever heard of them. Though most people now have never seen anyone smoking a pipe.
Hi
another member of the older Dad club here! Lost my Father 5 years ago when I was 30 and he was 81. Still get a punch in the gut that people get 20+ years longer of having that support system 
life's never ever the same is it?small print becoming much smaller within the last few years and my complete denial it's my eyes 
Catching sight of my mum earlier today and briefly not recognising the old lady standing in her garden.
They should put Shampoo and Conditioner in massive print on the bottles. I’ve wasted so much conditioner because I may pick that up first. Not even squinting helps anymoresmall print becoming much smaller within the last few years and my complete denial it's my eyes
