Stuck at home, Dad turned capricious without feminine presence (2,1,6)
I believe the answer is:
in a pickle
'stuck' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for in a pickle that I've seen before include "Suffering a difficult situation" , "Experiencing difficulties" .)
