Adult Relationships with Our Grown Kids

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, December 10, 2021 • Duration 32:48

Jenny and Katy discuss their thoughts on parenting adult children in the Third Age, both some of the joys and some of the challenges. Letting go of knowing every detail about your child's life is a very gradual process and some developmental stages, like leaving for college, seem to be harder than others. Each of us has had some worries about our grown children as they've matured from teens into their 20s and early 30s, and we acknowledge that sometimes if we hover too much or offer un-asked-for advice, the young adult may pull away abruptly. We discuss some of the feelings and adjustments around the avocations and other big life choices our adult children pursue, their significant others, and milestones like an adult child's wedding and the first grandchild.

Thursday, November 11, 2021 • Duration 33:15

In this episode, your two third age hosts, Katy and Jenny, talk about our very common concerns about our own cognitive health - e.g., everyday "forgetting," losing things, and so on. We discuss normal changes and who to see if one is concerned about memory loss. We touch on ways we try to stay mentally active and share some of the stories of our parents' dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's dementia, and the wrenching experience of placing a loved one into a Memory Care facility.

Season 1 · Episode 2

Saturday, October 30, 2021 • Duration 34:53

In our second episode, Jenny and Katy catch up from last time, and then discuss recent experiences with travel and adventure.

Introduction to Two Third Agers - The Podcast: How long has it been?

Season 1 · Episode 1

Thursday, October 21, 2021 • Duration 38:50

In this first episode, longtime friends Jenny, a former attorney, and Katy, a former gerontological social worker, introduce ourselves to listeners and discuss some of the things we have in common. Our podcast will focus on what it's like to be in "The Third Age" - the time of life when you start to be "older" but not yet "old." Some things have changed and some stay the same since we first met 35 years ago! We each discuss our current lives as long-married women with empty nests, what we're up to, and what we find satisfying or not so satisfying. We touch upon many issues and in future episodes will address topics such as loss, changing interests, grown children, health, travel, work and volunteering.
