Why do some men as they age reaching the late 60's get belligerent and nasty to their family ?
Finding fault with everything, losing interest in everyday tasks, constantly making excuses that they can't perform minimal job duties out/ or help because they are to old...
That is also a sign of Alzheimer's or dementia ...the getting mean part.
Sometimes diabetes can cause this, have they been checked for sugar?
Could it be depression? Irritability is a common symptom which can be seen as meanness. Or possibly a late or never resolved midlife crisis. I did a hub about men and midlife crisis. Sixty is the new 40 for some so it could be that, especially if other medical diagnoses have been ruled out.
I have seen this in those that suffer from Alzheimer's, but I have also seen just the opposite symptoms in those that have the disease. It could be another physical problem, such as poor diet or general malaise. I would suggest a physical checkup with a doctor is in order for a definite determination.
Hi KJ.
Maybe it´s depression, it certainly sounds like it might be.

Hope, Why is it that women get so belligerent with heterosexual, straight guys wanting to wear...lingerie and or any woman's attire/ I don't see what the big deal is and do you feel anytime soon it will begin to become acceptable? Younger women don't seem to care as much! Why is that?

It is not enough for them that they lack any faith (in human or God); but they also try to ridicule and demonize the faithful people, at every opportunity that they get.I believe that the atheists have an issue with the faith itself, in God...

How do you get a nasty odor out of a plastic rubbermaid food storage container?I just found a container that had been in my fridge for (apparently) quite some time (I was wondering where it was). After emptying it, letting it soak in hot, soapy water and washing it several times, it still stinks....
