Do any one know how it feels that you are not needed any more .
Two of my sons was doing ones car door window last night .so as i thought
i would go over and see if i could help as i use to do all my own cars .
But all i got in not a bad way was no as it is not like the old cars .
as it was a elect window so i still took a look and as it done only about a week
ago i told them what i thought .but did they lisen no all they said was how can you are
tell as you can not get down to see it proper so i told then take a look at the old one and you mite learn so i left them to it .but not too long ago they would ask how do you do this how do you do that .so when i went in the wife said i thought you was with the boys doing
the car no i said i now know i am retired as all i got go sit down .wife said about time you left them to get on with it themselves. As you can not still thing you are still fit to play with cars any more. But still will not keep an old one down .let you know how they got on or do they ask me today .

Hi David, that reminds me of when my Dad used to take his old ford granada to the garage and tell them exactly what it needed and what to do,he was a diesel fitter and there was nothing he didn't know about cars and engines, they had great respect for him and still remember him fondly. Bet your boys will be asking you later ! Hope you have a good day! x
Sad, David but true. Your sons are now what you were at their age!! Sad but you should be proud. We have a son that we are proud of, but he is way ahead in modern things.
So so true as when something gos wrong with this phone they do it for me to much elects
And computers mind bogling .
Oh that is sad David - but don't be beaten! Find something to keep you occupied! Find a hobby and become an expert! Technology has changed so much in the last 20 years - everything is throw away now! Take care and don't worry your boys will need you again! With love TAD xx
I think what you are feeling is just what happens as we get older! I can remember my father driving my husband mad watching his every move , when Dad couldn't do things anymore and my husband did them for him. Now, its my husband who can't do things, and I have to drag him away when son-in-law is helping out, so don't get too down about it - just be glad you have brought up sons who can do things for themselves !
Yes i know but after all the years of doing every thing in my home and helping
them in they're homes and anything else they asked it,s hard and i got to be honest it makes you feel useless. I know they do not think that all they o is and
Hey perhaps you can help me instead... electric windows on my old Polo dont work anymore and I've got no air con either so die of heatstroke when the sun shines, I think it would cost more to get fixed than the car worth..perhaps it will fail the MOT tho.
How about on line car repair ha ha !
Aww David, dont be sad,be happy you have taught them so well.If we are honest, we all probably feel a bit that way at times,but its grand to see them standing on there own feet,
Love Wendells xxx
lots of other ways to help I have found after I started feeling bad about not making as much of my usual contribution in things requiring me to be fitter.
