How did you deal with your aging parent that has grown to be SO rude? [I Have Aging Parents]
Mood swings, cutting off other people, inconsiderate, constantly complaining. I love my dad, but this shit is getting old!!! He was never like this before.

馃嵖馃憖 Good question, I'll have to check out tomorrow (about to head to bed now).
My parents don't act the same as they used to, and it's tough at times. Especially when I feel like they have sorta created a relationship of debate between themselves, which is alright, as long as neither gets pissed off, but that has happened more as they get older.and grumpier.

@DecafD yeah :( and then it's like they're addicted to Politics, and can agree on something 90%... but freaking over debate the other 10% where I worry a fight might start... (it usually doesn't)...
But when they disagree on something... sometimes it can be a coin flip if there was be someone getting nipsey or not..
My question, why are either of you over debating politics to start with? What does it matter if this happened because of x or y... bottom line is it did happen!

@Viper well it鈥檚 not just politics...it鈥檚 everything. Politics was just an example bc that鈥檚 the one thing that sets him over the edge. He gets upset over anything and projects it onto the rest of us. It鈥檚 part of the mood swings. This morning he was perfectly pleasant, but I expect the other mood to come out after supper. It鈥檚 just hard to deal with so I鈥檓 asking if anyone has tips for when they dealt with this with their aging parent(s). If I engage, I become part of the argument. If I stay quiet and distant, he鈥檒l find me and start something. I can鈥檛 win either way these days.
