Not that I am mocking this in any way, but having seen my elderly parents go at each other in the last two weeks, (especially in the last 3 or 4 days), I can see why calls might have increased. They are both becoming cantankerous, short-tempered and have little patience for anything right now, and they seem to push each other's buttons, whether wilfully or accidentally, and I have to step in to play peacemaker. I never thought I'd ever see the day where I had to put my own parents in time-out to calm things down. My, how the tables have turned.
