How do you deal with annoying habits that old people do?

Some elder people have habits that annoy others. Most of the time it is unintentional, however it is annoying at the same time. Trying to cope with these habits or behavior can be challenging, but manageable. Here are some of the common behavioral traits that elderly possess and ways to manage them:

Obsessive cleaning: Make a pact with your mom, that she will only clean for so and so time in the morning, rest of the day she will overlook the mess that comes her way.

Careless about health: Make them realize that even one cigarette a day, or pegs on Sundays can really make their ailments worse. Tell them how difficult the complications will be. When nothing works again allow them to have it only once a week in your supervision.

Excessive Worrying: If you are away from home, call them twice a day to assure them that everything’s fine and that you are okay.

Nagging: Tell them that you really understand that they care about you but put it gently that you are also quite old to manage things. Treat them with respect and you will find they certainly would reduce the nagging.
