    Have you ever seen that in real life? I haven’t.

    To the contrary, my only experience is how my mother has behaved. Yeah, she’s very overweight but has legitimate mobility issues. As she started up having more trouble getting around, it was really hard on her pride and sense of independence to accept any mobility aids. I finally had to get blunt: your grand-kids are doing X: if you want to see them, you need to use a chair. I’ll push, I’ll rent, I’ll carry, but I’m not trapping my kids at home for your pride
