When I grow old, I will have plenty of grand kids. I will advise them based on their talents and not advises from the lessons I learned from my falls. Is it common for old people to throw in advises as they are free??How do you take it??Do you like it or not?If you like it, then tell me why would you like it. And if you don't like it, tell me about it too.

Welcome! I do believe the elderly always throughout free advice. I think it makes them feel good about helping others. They've lived the life and want us to learn from their mistakes. Unfortunately, they forget they received advice from their elders and never paid any attention to that. Why they would think that has changed over the years is beyond me. I believe we all learn from our own mistakes. Not necessarily from the mistakes or advice of other. People like to test the waters for theirselves. Best Wishes!

I think that it is a good thing, seeing as how they have more experience. They are just giving you there two cents its up to you if you want it or not. They are just letting you know what they know so you do have to learn the hard way. Its up to you if you want to take the hard way but I can bet when you become elder you will be giving younger kids advise.

I always consider it good when old people throw out advise to me whether these advise are good or bad. I know that they have much experience and they have already learned a lot from life. I know they will not want me to go wrong in my decisions and whatever they tell me is for my own good. I will feel great to have people who will advise me as I grow.

you'll realize something is useful only in the time when you need it most. for me i like taking advices from the elderly because i believe that they have experience a lot compared to me. even though they might sometimes come up old-fashioned i still consider their thought for who may know when will the time comes that i have to apply them. when i grow up and be a father or even a grandfather ill always throw advices bundles of them about the things that made my life distressful for i dont want them to experience any hardship i had encountered. say it they'll listen or not, i dont care for i know once they are on situations where they need my advice atleast i can tell myself "they know what to do "
