Challenges for Older Parents

I have friends who got married right out of school - both high school and college.  Some of their kids are now graduating from High school.  My oldest is in 5th grade and youngest in 1st  grade, so I still have a lot parenting ahead of me. 

Recently, one was sick with a fever in the middle of the night.  I stumbled out of bed and fumbled for the medicine cabinets.  It had been a long time since we had administered meds, so I had to read the label....or at least try to read the label..

For the life of me, I couldn't see what it said.  I stretched my arm out as far as it could reach and still blurrrrrrr. 

I am not the only over 40 parent out there.  Everyone knows that your vision takes a turn when you hit 40.  Why aren't there medicine labels...for older parents.  Labels with BIG LETTERS!
