What should I do? :(

So, every weekend my grandparents come up to watch over us while my mom and dad both go to work. I love them with all my heart, but my grandmother won't listen to me!
My grandmother had the worst hearing ever! I keep telling her that she should go to an ear, eyes, and mouth specialist to check out her ears. I tell her that if she gets a hearing aid things will be a lot easier for her! But she just won't listen to me! And then she is really overweight, and I keep trying to exercise her whenever she's over. But she only does a quarter of a mile walking at 2 miles per hour T^T And she only does it Sunday and Monday. And to make things worse, she doesn't eat a thing healthy! They're always eating at fast food places ☹️

I try to explain to her what she should do with her diet and exercise. But she just won't listen to me! I'm worried for her health. I'm afraid the weight and lack of exercise will cause something fatal, or just life threatening! I'm scared for her, I pray for her every night.

But what should I do? D;

Sometimes when people get old, They turn out not listening, They prefer to enjoy for what time they have. For this type of people, Just enjoy with them. It hurts when we keep pushing them doing something they dont want, All you can do is be with them and enjoy all the time you have with them, They really treasure that instead of asking them doing whats not in their mind really, I have been there. Pushing them wont even help, nor asking them nicely lol

Well, grandparents are old and are REALLY hard-headed. Trust meh. 😊 Old people can only walk 2 miles per hour because they're old. They walk slower than we do and they gets tired easily. Even though you're get old or become a grandma someday, you'll be just like you're grandma. Most old people had no keen sense of hearing.

You should understand them in their condition since they're old. They gain weight fast 'coz they only do less work and doesn't burn as much fat as we do. Unlike us, we can play run around the school grounds 10 times. When people get old, they re prone to diseases but not fatal ones.

Actually my grandma is also pretty much overweight. My aunt said that we should leave them be. Because if we keep on telling them about dieting and so on, they'll be stressed-out. the only thing important to them is happiness. Your grandma WILL NOT be in fatal condition just because of that.

If your grandma has heart problems, asthma and so on... Bear in mind that they should not eat fatty foods. 😊

So, you need not to worry much about them. 😊~~
