Talk less to him. Listen from one ear, filter from the other. Alright?

@suchaslife That's what they used to say about the Captain.

It’s called grumpy old man syndrome
Usually treated with talking about how everything was better in the olden days

@Rickg Really? You mean I should talk to him about that? Well he play golf with the "boys" three times a week you think they will talk about that? Most of his friends are 30+ years something friendship

I wouldn’t take anything I say too seriously.
Maybe try to have a constructive discussion on a topic you disagree about. It can be very interesting. @suchaslife

@Rickg He doesn't listen and even when he is wrong he doesn't admit it lol..He is like a politician lol

@suchaslife Wow I wish you guys all the best. Be good to each other. Forgive. Life is too short.

@SW-User Oh no is all good :) happy family and good. Just lately he is argumentative.. Nothing really going on or major changes to get him all grumped up except my mother is sick and I moved out although I am home with them almost every free time I get. But yeah he is irritating me lol.
Do you still live at home, does he live with you?

@butterflymind1 No I moved out for the first time this March 2019 but I am always home because my mom is sick and I work for them. Took my mom job as a Secretary for their business 20 hours a week. So I see them almost daily
@suchaslife He sounds frustrated

This is normal for Fathers in this age...just take the useful things from his arguments and leave the rest! I guess your mom is very intelligent enough to handle his arguments😀

I don't want to be alarming but personality changes are sometimes an early sign of Alzheimers (not even going to look up the correct spelling, you know what I mean...)

It's stress. At his age, it's tougher to deal with than when he was younger.

And what's wrong with being argumentative and nit-picking, young lady?
