Take care of yourself.& Each other.🇨🇦🪶😀☺️📽️💕
Taking care of my father when he got a cancer diagnosis of a few months was so hard to watch but was the greatest gift. Being able to be there for him and spend that time was priceless. Yes I had to leave my husband and kids and go states aways but it was worth every second. My mother died suddenly right before my fathers diagnosis so he was alone. Even though my brother lived next door he was too bothered to help him and "had a family". Smh. Like I didnt? It was shameful but I'm the one that recieved the gift of taking care of him and spending that special time. But I have to say even though it was priceless time i got to spend with him I dont know whats worse seeing you parent suffer or them dying suddenly like my mother. I wish I could have spoke with her and been there to hold her. So sadly I've seen it both ways.
My grandma taught me you shouldn’t really expect men to have a caregiving impulse. If they do, fine, but if not don’t hold it against them. You’re wasting your time and energy. I’ve always observed it to be true, like most things she taught me. I’m pretty sure I thought it was nonsense when she taught me. Also true of most of what she taught me.
My first job as a nurse aide was in 1988. We were advised to bring dementia patients "back to reality." In truth, doing so was cruel. These people were never going to get better. Fred Astaire's character had it right. His roommate was happy believing he was on his farm. He should be allowed to keep doing so. Thankfully, the standard of care for dementia patients later involved dealing with them within the framework of their reality. I can't imagine treating elderly people like idiot children the way Mike's parents were treated. However, that's the way it used to be done. The father probably would have complied with treatment better if he'd been allowed to do things he enjoyed with modifications rather than being told he couldn't do them at all. Sometimes people need to be moved to long-term care. Those folks shouldn't have been forced to move from their home. They just needed a little help. The movie does bring up a good point. The help needed is often difficult to afford. It shouldn't be that way. People like Mike's parents would benefit from a welfare check, a little help around the house, and help with transportation so they could continue living independently.
I think Patty chose these movies because it was "work" she needed but I am sure she had good times working on this movie because her co- stars were of the older generation and they were the movie greats.
I’m never going to be ready to let my parents go when it’s their time! I’m very close with my mom we call & text each other every day and once a week we have girl days! We always have supper together at her and my stepdad house! I’m not looking forward to see my mom grow old same with my dad we aren’t as close but I do text him often! I miss having my grandpa he passes away when I was 10 years old! I miss seeing my grandma haven’t seen her in 2 years I call her often she gives the best advice and she’s a great dancer for being almost 94!
@@mollymaxwell6039 we are a rare breed of women in today’s society 😔 Makes me sad yet grateful I grew up in the 60s/70’s along with 5 siblings. Lol My mom & dad are still alive in their 80’s. God Bless 😉
Just remember how innocent now will seem 5 years from now, and bless today. It’s a good movie with some great stars who were clearly still better than most actors today in their golden years.
Can't imagine ever thinking that my grandparents were an inconvenience. I never got tired of spending time with them. And I would never have raised my voice or used a tone when speaking to them. I just loved them too much for that.
Me either! I don't have any living grandparents or parents anymore and I am only 28... Oh what I would do to have them back even for just 1 day! My grandma on my mom's side lived to be 95 and all my life I went to spend the night with her and just hang out with her and I loved every minute of it! She told me all kinds of stories about every stage of her life and we played Yahtzee and she was an amazing southern cook! I would have never dreamed of thinking she was a burden!
Its so hard to grow old. Its so sad. Its all in front of us. Great to have some family members near you. Thank you so much for posting. Take care. 🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘
My parents worked tirelessly to keep all of my grandparents in their homes until they died. It was a lot of work, but thankfully they were all in relatively good health all the way to the end and never lost their mental faculties. This situation would be incredibly stressful for everyone.
that is what happens when you get old, they don't need you anymore, and throw you away.............your own kids........sad but so true....reality check
I did so much for my parents before they died it was sad to see them get so old but they were able to fo for themselves for the most part I sure do miss them this movie hits home hard.
Hard to believe these days a quick stent or two and people are running marathons again or in the gym again after a heart attack.. med science sure moves fast!!!
Very true, my son's friend's face's when i brought out the board games lol then they would get into it me and partner made them so much fun. Once a neighbour asked what we were playing 🤣🤣now 4 year later it is only PlayStation and phone 😔
My grandparents lived with us till they passed. I'm slowly progressing towards my 40's and have more then 20 gray hairs-first one when I was 6-. Slowly looking reality in the face. 🤕
Fred Astaire was one of my favourite actors. Loved watching his old movies. Patty Duke was a great actress and played every single roll with everything she had in her. Never half measure but all in.
I read Patti's book, "Call me Anna" She was very troubled, & angry for years. Glad she finally got diagnosed with Bipolar, & put on lithium You tend to forget all that when you see her acting. Helen Keller! amazing!
@cynthianolder3557 Yes, I have the book and what she went thru was something! She brought a lot of understanding to mental health issues and survived some hard times.
they are just oozing with compassion! dang! the parents made sacrifices for them. same thing that happened in my family. my brothers went on to say they had families of their own. so in other words my mom stopped being their mom the minute they got married. so I resolved to never marry, and I never did.
A movie with the greats Helen Hayes Patty Duke Fred Astaire Efrem zimbalist family is what' it's All about the way it used to be for my family now we mostly communicate by text
My Father had a sudden stroke in the hospital a week in the hospital in a coma almost 2 years later My mother had her third reoccurrence of cancer My brother and I took Care of My mom briefly for the few months she' had left before she' passed I had moved in with my mother after My Dad passed I was divorced single with no obligations so glad I did she was fairly well for several months so her and I would take trips together in the summer during time off from work a Christmas holiday Trip to Hawaii the year before she' passed never regret those times we had together
Caregiving is hard, but rewarding. We are bringing someone home today who we aren’t how it will go, or if we can physically manage at home. This was only on my playlist because I watched the making of valley of the dolls and got interested in patty duke, but it was so comforting to see. And just sweet story to watch anyway.
It's hard!11 years of being my dad's caregiver,hospice is coming in ,he fell broke his hip a month ago, he was diagnosed with dementia dementia at age 66,he's almost 77,thankfully I was a C N A most of my life and my body just can't lift and all that anymore I'm 52😢

It doesn’t seem believable that Mike lives in a two bedroom house and the son has to give up his room for the parents to have a place to stay. The writer should have written a more believable situation.

My mother died suddenly Dad was sick for a month it was all heartbreaking.

How can a family have only two bedroom house?
That grandson. Damn I can't hardly stand to watch this I did everything I could for my parents until they died an d i wsh they were still here.

I'm an only child and my husband passed away 3 years ago so it's just me to take care of my parents when the time comes. I worry about it quite a bit.
I guess he was always thin.
That music would bug me too! 😂
Grandson needs to use earphones 🎧🎧🎧🎧
What a great movie!! ❤❤
cried.cried cried. I was in tears half way through.
Interesting 🤔 movie 🍿🎥 show
That made me smile ❤
Such a beautiful movie❤❤❤❤
Now THAT'S a GOOD Movie!🙏🥰
Patty dukes character is selfish everything should revolve around her dad.
Getting old suck now I’m 57 😵💫
52 & my body is feeling the aches in early morning already… is it getting old or to many athletic activities from youth 🤔 don’t know, but one has to keep moving and stay active, mind and body
Stay encouraged
The 9ld lacy at the beginning looks like Barbara Bush
The movie starts at 4:10
Definitely move them into first floor before they turn 70
I wish I could have done more for mine
we're supposed to believe that's only a 2 bedroom house with a dining room and library?
Darn it. I thought it, you typed it.
It doesn’t seem believable that Mike lives in a two bedroom house and the son has to give up his room for the parents to have a place to stay. The writer should have written a more believable situation.
