What’s the most difficult thing about getting older?

The hot flash and night sweats and chills.

Watching your kids get older too and knowing you are so much older than them!

all of it,,,everything!!!!!

Aches, forgetting things.  I'm sure not being able to drive and having to depend on someone to take you places will be a top reason, but I'm not there yet and grateful for that.

I agree, aches and tiring out more quickly.

everything..the aches and pains and additional ailments...but also watching your kids and grandkids grow so fast..

I think it depends on how each person views the aging process, and how it effects them; some people seem ageless in energy, look and just keep going while others have to slow their roles in all aspects of their lives; sometimes due to physically aliments; so I guest it just depends what challenges comes your way.

Knee Pain

It saddens me as I read over some of the responses.  Aches and pain are not a normal part of the aging process.  It's insane that we are taught to believe it is.

Your body starts to degrade in general. Not only do you get aches, years of use provides wear and tear on your knee and hip joints, etc. and you start to need operations for this and that to maintain your health.

aches pains forgetting things getting tired easier just a few things that go with getting older.

Spoken like a true 30 year old who has it all under control. Just wait until you are in your 80's.

Having more responsibility as one grows older is the most difficult thing

Can't stand longer and lifting heavy things are harder. Limited to move around .
