I say, "if she kills him, she kills him".

Jeepers, does the boy/son know his old geezer dad's not going to live forever. IMO, the son would have been better off minding his own business and letting his pop mind his.

As the population of this nation ages and more X-gen kids begin packing their babyboomer moms and dads away in cold storage facilities, it would be nice to allow them to generate a little warmth when they can, or have the desire to try.

Granted, 90YO sex probebly isn't something you'd want to video tape and post on line, but I am going to assume there are already web sites out on the net (God bless Al Gore) totally devoted 24/7 to the subject. You'd probably die if you googled "Gopher Sex" and followed the link - I'm afraid to try it.

However, what the son did was totally lacking in class. His dad would have been much better served if the boy had presented the lady with a good well written pre-nup and then hauled the horney old couple down to the JP court with a shotgun to make the old broad make an honest woman out of herself.

At least he didn't catch his 90-yo pop with a 19 year old nurse and a slick lawyer. But, that's just the thoughts of an old military guy.

I think the article mentioned that the son was concerned about his inheritance, but this is why your point about the pre-written pre-nup would have made more sense.

The son basically robbed his father of new love because of his jealousy and neuroses.

Hell, if I make it to 90, I hope I can still have an occassional romance.

The main thing I consider about Alzheimers affecting widows and widowers is that they now have the opportunity of a limited second chance without painful memories of the life and mobility they lost. Who knows what both elders were thinking when they were intimate? All we need to know is that they were in love. And getting laid.

These guys were skipping lunch and church!

And he was 96? Sounded like a lot more than occasionally at 90 to me... In fact, I could argue that their actions gave an entirely new meaning to dementia.

I liked the part about a little light sex on the lobby sofa, under a pillow in her lap. I do not care what others think, this was a cognizantly thinking couple. It just makes my cheeks turn a little red to think about what they were thinking about.

This gent and his lady deserved each other. What a shame they were separated.

I hope someone cuts the son off completely, when he still wants a little love, assuming he ever did/has/will.

Sex outside of marriage is still immoral. And perhaps the son found oral sex outside of marriage to be immoral too.

He doesn't deserve to be cursed or disinherited. Perhaps he's been a good son for the past 49 years.

ummm, there is a time and place that ALL children need to mind with their parents. this guy didn't do that. thus, everyone in the fray hating him.

what if she HAD died of a broken heart? how does the son not know that his father isn't dying of one right now? the kid is only trying to protect himself.

i hope his kids stick him in a crappy nursing home and move to vegas. karma can be a bitch that way.

As a great sinner myself, I feel imminately qualified to respond to your post.

The sin of the father is his and not the son's, who most likely needs to devote full time effort to working out his sinful nature. I have never met anyone who had their sin so under control that they had time to devote to curing the sins of those around them.

What does scripture say about the son judging his father? Does it say don't?

I could agree that the son mght counsel his dad to get married. The chances are that the old gy wouold have been happy to do that.

Was his dad sinning? That was the business of the dad and not the son.

I try not to be judgemental, but I do know that the old guy deserved happiness in his last days/months/years. Perhaps he had worked out the marrage/commitment thing with God and Had God's blessing on his union with his sweetie - the one his son, in full judgement of his dad's actions killed.

Do I know that the old guy had worked all of this relationship out with God? - NO.

Do you know he hadn't? - NO

why not drop your rock

guess what...... YOU ARE NOT GOD.. who made u the judge and jury.. morallly sinful...?? ok... one day your gonna be old too ... careful ... u dont wanna go to hell for finding love in a nursing home..

MY OPNION ( as it is just that) ... knock before entering...and MIND YOUR OWN D*** BUSINESS

I am no longer a Christian, however I recall the matter of the 'son judging the father' refers to the son posthumously condemning and chastising his father.

This sentiment is similarly upheld in Islam: that a good son prays to God for mercy for his deceased father if he is a believer but has sins.

As well, the son should not judge his father's past deeds or mistreatment given that all men are subject to sin and weakness. The good son considers the good, mercy, provisions which God provided through the son's father.

However, as a legal guardian of a parent who is mentally disabled and no longer capable of mature discretion, a son is indeed responsible for 'guarding' the father based on the known moral standards, hopefully they being up to God's standards.

What can a son do? Demand strict standards of supervision to meet his standards. Why? Should anonymous sex between parents with diminished mental capacities be permitted out of 'mercy'?

Not if you believe there's a After life.
