Sounds like frustration of some sort, I don't think your advice would please him.

Is it dementia, obtuseness, passive aggression...?
Whatever it is, I hope the family is paying attention.

What was that about walking a mile in someone else's shoes?
Who knows what goes on behind closed doors, or in someone else's mind?
But, it does make for an interesting post.

He is being mean, and is old enough to know better but obviously hasn't realized how self-defeating such actions are. Some just never learn. One has to wonder why, what happened in his lifetime to make him like that....

I am often in the same position but the females are the ones I would like to pull by the hair and make them sit and think of their evil, not mischief! I think mischief is better. It is obvious or can been seen. The deviousness of these females leave no proof and they can and will lie.
