I mean, really?
Why should we all expect to outlive our parents if they died at some point in their late 70s or early 80s?
I am quite old in Mumsnet terms but I don't feel entitled to live to 90 or 95 or whatever.
Very old people staying alive for a year or two more isn't something to be celebrated is it? I say this as someone with a parent in reasonable health in their late 80s.
