1) They get up to pee during the night, sometimes several times; so make sure they’re sleeping on the side of the bed nearest the loo.
2) You have to read the entire menu to them when you go out and they’ve forgotten their glasses.
3) They come with an entire drugs cabinet and a range of age-related health issues that you’ve never heard of.
4) It takes them forever to do up their shoelaces, they may require a 10-minute warning before leaving the house.
5) They will struggle with the small fiddly controls on your sex toys (seriously Lovehoney, you need to do an old people friendly range with big buttons and simple controls).
6) They often have dietary requirements, and a list of things they can’t eat anymore, usually due to cholesterol or high blood pressure.
7) They will reference things you’ve never heard of, and you’ll repeatedly have to remind them that whatever it was, it was before your time.
8) If you’re out in public together, people will assume he’s your dad (or grandad), then look at you with disgust when you sit on their lap. Alternatively, you may look like their carer (same response when you sit on their lap though).
9) They’ll try to take you to a restaurant, only to find out when you get there that it closed several years ago and is now a charity shop.
10) When they talk about how successful and wealthy their gorgeous children are (who just so happen to be the same age as you) you’ll look at your own life and want to cry. That one might just be a ‘me’ thing though….
