[quote=Anonymous]Another vote for elderly anxiety that can and often does get out of control. They are afraid of so many things that they have no control over. And their filters can go too, which when younger would have regulated what they said. My guess is that your mom lived with a version of this their whole married life. And now it is exaggerated by the huge change in his life. What about this: examples: Dad: So you're walking the dog again late at night. OP: Yep. And I love you, but please stop criticizing me. Dad: I'm not criticizing! OP: To me you are. I'm going to walk the dog. And for this to work, you really have to accept that I'm an adult and can and will make my own decisions. Wash and repeat. On cheap windows: Dad: These windows are cheap. OP: It's what we can afford/came with the house. And for this to work, you have to stop criticizing my house. Wash and repeat.[/quote]
