My dh has just complained to me that he thinks my Dad's visits are too long - and I can see his point but really don't know how to address it with my Dad. My Dad lives on his own so his time is his own and also I guess he can get a bit lonely. He is in his seventies, lives about 250 miles away from us and had a heart operation 2 years ago but is pretty fit despite that. He helps me with the children (3 under 7) so I find his visits quite useful, and we do get on pretty well. My dh gets on with him OK but I guess just feels his space is being invaded for too long as my Dad usually stays for about a week at a time. Over Christmas he stayed for two weeks which I accept was really too long - although I was fine with it, I can see why my dh wasn't! How on earth do I approach my dad about this? I can't bear the thought that he will feel unwelcome or uncomfortable in our home

AIBU?
Am I being unreasonable to let my Dad visit us for a week at a time?
