Getting older, How Aging Feels To Us, and Parenting Our Parents | Fridays w/ Tab & Chance

[@MonaAnita]

When I was young, I used to ask my mom why she has hair growing from her chin and why she has dimples in her skin. She would always say in the kindest way "just keep livin" you'll understand. Now at 50 I understand everything!

[@alicia_nicole444]

My grandma been saying that ALL MY LIFE 😂

[@Backpack16]

My mother would say the same thing

[@DC45193]

Lol thats a old saying

[@tboykin13tb]

Rgt, UGHHHH 😩😫, BUT "WE MADE IT"!! 🙌🏽

[@MommaB-j6n]

I’m 68 and I worked 2 jobs while taking care of my momma and grandma. My Sons are 44 and 46 and always are saying Ma I don’t know how you did it. I did it out of love and it was the right thing to do. Plus I had their college tuitions to pay and make sure they were straight as their Mom like my Mom did for me. Now that I’m retired they make sure I’m straight! God Bless them. ❤

[@CatherineFrye-n9e]

I must say that I am aging gracefully at 76 years old. I try to stay active working in my little garden, going for walks in the park with my husband 5 days a week for 45 min., and riding my bike. I can't do everything that I use to do in my younger years, but I try to keep active. Also, my 12 grandchildren keep me young minded , reading 📚 and playing puzzle games. Do my body ache sometimes, yes it does. People sometimes think that my oldest daughter (58 years old) is my sister, lol 😂, but I am very grateful unto God for keeping me and my husband through many trials and tribulations. 🙏❤️🙏

[@yayablake8963]

I Love your testimony ❤️ Very similar to mines except I don't have as many grandchildren but still such a blessing. Keep doing what you're doing!😊

[@missmeyon]

@19:56 Once a man. Twice a child. I'm 42 and my mama is 68 and the roles are switching fast. She suffered her 2nd stroke in 2yrs, and she now has aphasia. She has definitely gotten STUBBORN as all get out too, but that's my mama. I'm blessed to be here to care for her.

[@SherenaWalters]

❤❤🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@KayVee18]

I’m praying for you. I just commented the same thing! I’m 45 taking care of my mom with dementia

[@InfoJunkie22]

Life is a cycle. 🔁 Blessed to be on the second go and praying for your mama, and everyone along for the journey.

[@Backpack16]

@@KayVee18 Sorry to hear about your mom. I pray you have plenty of help. My three sisters and I did it for, fifteen yrs. It takes its toll. We know if they could help themselves they would. They mean well, just have that chemical imbalance.

[@red_edj]

I feel you. I'm almost 46 my mom is 77. She's had 2 strokes and suddenly have several compounding issues. My dad is 76 and not on a single medication but caring for my mom alone is wearing on him. I've had to step to help with meals and coercing her to do what she's supposed to do b/c she's very stubborn.

[@KeiannaLittle]

My daddy STILL be creasing them pants. Levi’s only. No other jeans. And baby that Niagara starch and a heavy iron 😂

[@carlashelton7682]

😂🤣😂🤣

[@OriginalGoddess111]

I'm from the dirty south and I lived on the west coast for 15 yrs and now I'm back home. So yes I see a big difference in how we age in the south compared to the west. People are more active, conscious of what they eat and care about their bodies and physique. Especially the 50 and older, they have beach bodies which is amazing to see!!! Now that I'm 50, I look very different from my mother and grandmother, meaning how I dress, my personality, my eating habits, my daily activities and how I interact with my children and grandchildren. I think it's all in the soul or spirit because I have always been the same adventurous youthful spirit. I am very active and have always cared about my body and what I eat which has kept me looking younger than my true age. I went Vegan 4 yrs ago due to my health and wish I would have done it much sooner. My grandmother lived to be 90 yrs old and my mother lived to be only 55 yrs old and my goal is to live past 100 yrs old. I have tried to introduce my new Vegan eating habits to my family in the south and it's been a challenge. LOL they refuse to give up eating MEATS and processed foods!!! My Dad will not stop even after removing 1 of his lungs due to cancer. So all I can do is be there to support him through his health journey. One of my sons and my Hubby is on board with me and a few of my grandchildren so this is breaking family curses and change will come... Peace Love and Light.

[@bernitacorbin3032]

Chance sound good! Sorry Tab😂😂

[@VisibleTimes]

Pretty good ❤

[@JayyCarr15]

soooooooo sorry to Tab, but- ... Chance ate 😂

[@audreytabon367]

Lolol she knows. I don’t think Tab minds us calling a spade a spade. As long as no one jumps in her husband’s DMs. Lol remember she called those people out!

[@CaleshaTaylor]

Aww Chance can SANG LOL ! 😂 I love yall !

[@SavedByGraceThroughFaith99]

Yes, Tab you act older but you look young. You are very beautiful and Chance is very handsome, yall are a beautiful couple❤❤

[@Denise-ob8dk]

Love your name!

[@SavedByGraceThroughFaith99]

@@Denise-ob8dk Thank you❤️

[@sabrinamj4850]

My mother is 89 and has cancer leukemia and just been diagnosed with breast cancer. She will not let me help her, she is so independent. 😔😊 She does know I'm here whenever she needs me.❤

[@Backpack16]

Chance I can relate, one day I felt good, I jump up out of bed. I got soo dizzy. I realized, you may feel young, but 67, says you better slow down. And let your body and blood flow settle down, before you move soo quick

[@Backpack16]

Times were different, clothes were different. My parents dressed sophisticated and classy, even though they were younger.

[@IAmCStarrS]

Chance singing ain't he🥰😂

[@Edward_Strong1982]

Im 42 and im on alert now because i realized that i am getting older and my parents are too! I’ve been having conversations about their affairs. Also been talking to my siblings about stuff too

[@blah21blah22blah23]

All of what you said same here. It feels like such an odd stage of life. Having these important conversations with aging parents are so difficult and sad to have.

[@rfreeman7139]

I've been there. It's important to have those conversations now. I lost my brother before loosing my parents. Fortunately my parents both had pre paid funerals and wills. It was still hard to go thru but having your affairs in order allows you to grieve without having to make rash decisions.

[@Msltfoster]

Aging varies widely depending on the life stressors one endures as well as how one handles those stresses. Our mental health also plays a role in how we age.

[@latoriatyree1510]

I love how Chance is still a "mama's boy" bt still can be a grown man @ the same time 💙💙 I hope my son will always be 1... my mama ain't old 😂😂😂😂

[@MsSandy7x7]

I haven’t watched Fridays in probably two years and a couple of things I’ve noticed. Chance is a lot more relaxed and he also has a nice voice. Of course Tabitha is always fabulous!

[@stephanie8202]

This topic is on point. My cousin and I have had this same conversation about getting older. How we use to think 40, 50, and 60 was really old when we were younger. Now that we're in those age brackets, it's not like what we use to think. Your body will DEFINITELY let you know your age. I'm in the parenting a parent phase right now.

[@diamondestiny.]

This is already so cute and fun! I’m only 2 minutes in😂❤

[@ummabudee]

I can definitely relate. My mom is 80, still independent, care for her bedridden husband has traveled to visit me in Saudi Arabia twice, once alone. She fell sick upon her arrival the first time, only to find out she was having withdrawals from zanax she'd been taking since my older brother died, 20 years ago 😮. Yes, 20!!! That's when I saw for the first time in my life, her vulnerability. My mom was frail and weak, to me and of course instinct kicked in, to take care of her.

[@aliciafreeman5898]

This topic hit all the way home with me... THANK YOU

[@ceej8131]

Another awesome discussion. Thank you.

[@Perky819]

We were just talking about this among friends. For example, 60 looks different now than years ago. 60 seemed “old” and presented as old, slower less active. 60 year olds today seems so much younger, active and vibrant. Tab has a point in thinking maybe because we are older we think about it differently.

[@TheChocBeauty]

You two are amazing. You talked on aging from several perspectives which enlightens the old and young. I’m on the seasoned side of life thank God and now understand my parents. My kids will get there also. Thanks so much!!!❤

[@DrParker910]

This episode's topic was everything. Everything you shared is so true!!

[@t-tokyo9107]

Y'all are so right when you say "... I feel the same..." BUT when your body reminds you that you're aging, it's a jolt of reality that can be heart stopping, literally as well as figuratively. I'm 45, battling MCTD (Mixed Connective Tissue Disease) while trying to see after my dad who is 69 and has been in a nursing home for the last year, and my mom who is 63 battling the "Big C" and early stages of dementia all while STILL working and being out-and-about like she a young twenty-something. I'm an only child and it's stressful as all get out but I can't help it; they need me and I don't mind doing it.

[@annettasmith3593]

CHANCE SOUNDS GREAT

[@BeatbyMe114]

Nah Chance, Tab got you backtracking HARD when she mentioned what’s gone happen at night!!!! 😂😂😂 don’t mess yourself up showing out for us.

[@carmenparish]

Right!!! We ain't nobody!!!!😂

[@BLRoselle]

100% real conversation!

[@ZlaeWoods]

People have gotten smarter because of people like y’all watching y’all live healthier and live better wellness makes you look younger as you age❤

[@missmeyon]

Chance, you may have missed your calling. Dat boi GOOD!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

[@lb4398]

Today, people generally carry age different than folks in 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s....We no longer let society tell us we are old and should dress old...People now eat healthier, get better sleep, take supplements and take better care of themselves. We dress younger as well. We live and let live and we are thriving as we garner more knowledge about health and wellness...I told someone the other day...I will not be doing my 50s like my Granny or ancestors...baby Im gonna thrive, live and be healthy and look good doing it. So its a new mindset around aging and I Love it

[@Batirtze-b6x]

Exactly. Nowadays we know way more. It's on us to do something about it, stay connected and feel good.

[@CBrown9758]

Chance and Tab u are such beautiful people and i love u both for that. THANK U, LORD, THANK U FATHER FOR THESE TWO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

Change is no joke! It is a challenge For real! Aging is no joke! One day at a time!

Well, I’m 41 and my mother is 71… My father passed at 62 liver cancer… was alcoholic when he was younger but changed his life for the better in his 30yrs on but it caught up with him. He passed so sudden I took care of him with my mom enough to know I did my duty. But learning more now I’m Glad my mother is a person she tooo fast and she take care of herself I don’t worry to slow down a lil just retired 50yrs and aging gracefully etc but I’m trying my best to model to take care of of myself much as I can to age well like my mother is now and my late father did till he did then ❤

Sangggg Chance 🎉❤

[@eboniesnell1178]

I agree 1000%, what's that saying Once an Adult, twice a Child.

[@michellewrite2educate]

This was the most fascinating conversation, I’ve heard from two mature people. I understand what chance means, like I feel so #youthful I don’t let the world or anyone else try to put me in a box because I’m a certain age. Like I’ve always felt & acted young, for the good parts, however, lately, Certain things do start to hurt OR I get a pain where I’ve NEVER had one before; I curse it and I’m like, no way we don’t believe in pain, we’re too young, so chance I get that so much. Yeah, I think people may look old because of a combination of things, maybe their lifestyle, the geography of where they grew up, clothing , genetics & era. Like even now, when I look at old pictures of people or my relatives even at my current age, they did dress old and they look old; like look at some of the movie stars from like the 40s 50s and 60s, they were only like 27, early 30’s, and they looked 50 and 60 back then. kudos to you guys. This was so fascinating.

Aging definitely looks differently based on where you live. I lived in Chicago and would be out until 3/4am with ppl in their 60s and it was normal. In the South I can barely get my 30/40 yr old friends to come out.

MY DAD DIED YOUNG AT 47 AND I WAS YOUNG. I DIDN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CARE FOR HIM BUT MY MOM AND STEP DAD I WAS ABLE TO QUIT MY JOB TO HELP CARE FOR THEM UNTIL THEY PASSED AWAY. I TOOK MY MOM TO SO MANY DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND I AM THANKFUL I WAS THERE TO DO IT. I AM APPROACHING 47 NOW AND I THINK OF MY DAD SO MUCH THE CLOSER I GET TO MY BIRTHDAY. LIFE DEFINITELY LOOKS DIFFERENT FOR ME WITHOUT MY PARENTS HERE AND THE REALIZATION THAT NOW I AM THE GRANDMOTHER NOW.

[@elles.6768]

Tab looks older and acts older than her age. It's funny that she mentioned how she dressed back in the days like an older person. I only remember we're the same age when she references certain songs and movies. Her style reminds me of my grandmother back in the days.

[@SheilaJones-q7u]

Yes, Chance, I agree, I leave the house walking as if I'm 20; on the way back, I feel & move like 90! Sometimes, I have to take a seat on a park bench to rest.

I never did understand lying about ur age. Except when I was young wanting to be 21yrs old B4 I was 22yrs. Very Good !!! (Young minded ) Open ❤heart, listening & Observing aing, is scary bcuz U can't STOP IT. but Old can be a frame of mind & a look So right humbling. ITS A REAL thing .Westside LA Cali Roro❤

[@valeriejones3808]

Great discussion. Raising Parents is both rewarding and challenging but God gives us grace. There is a dedlicate balance in allowing them to maintain some independence however safety comes first so the child has to act as the parent in LOVE not control. I thank God he allowed us to keep both parents in their home during theri short term illness before God called them home. Dad was 88 Mom was 86.

[@rochellebarlow6627]

I know Exactly what you're talking about. Cause I experience the same thing by being the oldest or the first grmy daughter. I stay with my grandparents. Even though you tab, you're the baby, but you know, you had a lot of responsibility. And like you said, you had your children, young.You know, and when you grow up around old folks, you be, you act more older.It's like a chameleon you take on your environment.Your surroundings good topic very good.

Chance I can relate to that analogy, and its until you have difficulty walking down the steps that one realize or remember “ age “ . That happen to me and others had to remind me that you are aging LOL ( excellent topic ) because some of our parents never talked about aging or some thing in the house was never discussed and some family will go to their DEATH and never had discussed topics with their kids or family

Hello Brown Family, Tab you are absolutely correct with accepting your ageism. My parent died in theirs 30’s and I was 7 and 8 years. Both of my parents died a year apart. Today I’m 58 so to being 59 years of age and believe me I definitely accept and appreciative of my age. I look young for my age but sometimes I do feel like my age 😂😂😂🤣. I am careful of my daily diet.
