Years ago this happened between my father and my husband. Dad was always telling him how to do something and like a good son-in-law, my husband would listen and get upset. I finally advised him to do what I'd been doing for years, listen and thank him for his advise and then JUST DO WHAT I WANTED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE. Works like a charm - respect their input, but run your own life. Of course, make a big deal out of it when you do take his advice, otherwise, keep it quiet. It really helps to live more than an hour away from home but respect him and he will learn to respect you. Of course, if he is really loosing his marbles there is nothing you can do except be kind. Also remember: Once in a while they will tell you something that will really make sense and help you a lot. They've been around the block many times over the years and have survived. I can sometimes still hear my dad telling me how to do something even though he has been gone for 15 years.
