[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My take: older people become more narcissistic, in part because their own world is shrinking. They are not working in most cases, and so their own 'stuff' becomes way more important than anyone else's feelings or needs. Also there may be memory issues, or physical issues (my dad literally grimaces when my two big, active boys hug him - he can barely hold his balance anyway. So instead of welcoming the love, he looks like he wants to smack them.)[/quote] You need to talk to your boys about hugging him gently or just smiling as a greeting[/quote]
