MIDLIFE CRISIS
My dad is turning fifty tomorrow and my mom is worried that he is going through that midlife crisis thing. He has been looking for a new car for a couple of weeks now and keeps dropping hints about wanting a home gym for his birthday. Neither of which she thought were too bad, she knew he was not going to buy a car, and she figured a home gym would not hurt him, but it was what she discovered yesterday that created the concern. She just happened to glance at the computer, in passing, while he was on it and discovered him googling options for hair loss treatments. Granted, I do not think it is that big of a deal. If he wants to get in shape and grow some more hair it is not all bad, but on the other hand I can understand my mom having concerns. My dad has never worried about how he looked and has always been in shape. He can still beat me in a foot race and bench-press me. I guess know one like to think of themselves as old. So I called him and reminded him that at least he is not a grandfather, which he replied by reminding me that he is getting up there and cannot wait forever, so I should get on that. I think he will be fine.
