Dadsplaining 

Any sentence spoken by a dad to persons younger than himself that begins with, "When I was your age," or, "I'll tell you why that is," or, "If you were smart, here's what you'd do..."

My dad says that when he was my age, phones had cords on them and there was a thing called "long distance." He's been Dadsplaining the old days at me all morning.
