Lu Xun once said, if you can't handle the father, then deal with the son.
The old man is getting on in years, and no one can really deal with him anymore, nothing can be done, but surely his son isn't in the same category, so naturally, we look for someone who can be dealt with.
Lu Xun also said, when dealing with cunning old folks, you have to employ some shameless tactics because the normal ones simply don't work; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many old foxes out there.
Not everyone who has children is fit to be called a parent, and not every elderly person is worthy of respect. Some old people do whatever they please, using their age as an excuse, and brazenly make a fool of themselves; these are basically unbeatable.
