I am coining a new phrase: Senior-Toddler Syndrome.
Someone you know may be afflicted with STS if they are over the age of 60 and exhibit the following behaviors:
– taking zero accountability for their actions
– refusing to be independent even when possible
– tantrums with unknown causes
– refusal to use their words to communicate
– demanding they receive what they want, when they want it
– little regard for others
– obliviance to any wrong doing
The significant difference between a senior and toddler is that a toddler grows out of this behavior whereas a senior grows into it.
I believe this maddening affliction is incurable.
