So, my dad, who lives a good distance from me, has had a row with his partner (they are both 75 by the way) and now wants a bit of an escape from her so wants to come and stay with my family and I. I have 2 boys aged 8 and 10, a husband and am 7 months pregnant. I understand he needs a break, however, he is a very difficult house guest. As an example, he belches loudly, he takes his socks off and sits there with his bare feet all over our coffee table in the evenings (when I am trying to teach my children good manners), he stays up later than us (midnight onwards) then comes to bed turning all the lights on and generally banging around. He doesnt mean to be offensive, he just has no self awareness what so ever! I always find his visits very stressful for these reasons. I can just about handle a long weekend but Know he is wanting to stay for at least a week. Added to the above we have no spare room as we are currently in the process of decorating one room for the nursery, so we have no bed to put him in. He cant sleep on a blow up bed as he has recently had back surgery. This means I will have to turf the boys out of their shared room so he can go in there and they will have to go on a blow up bed for a week (which they probably wont mind). we have always had a bit of a strained relationship as when we were little he used to go in to these "moods" where he would stop speaking to everyone for a month or 2 at a time. His heart is in the right place and I feel bad slating him as he is a good person, but I just find his visits so difficult. And what with being 7 month pregnant, am not looking forward to the stress. Any suggestions? Am I being a total cow?
