One of our fathers (in his 80s, very healthy and active) wants us to buy a big tub of paint for him and leave it at the bottom of our driveway. He will come and pick it up without seeing or speaking to us. He loves driving and to get to our house and back to his again it is around a 2 and a half hour round trip and he will be completely on his own in the car. The trip is through very beautiful and very rural roads. The father has been told numerous times (literally over 20) we are uncomfortable doing this this but he is absolutely adamant and will not take no for an answer.
Which of us do you agree with?
YABU - give in to the father's request as it will give him something to do for the day (long drive) and then allow him to complete some DIY as he is climbing the walls.
YANBU - stand up to the father as it is non-essential travel and suggest he buy the tin of paint from a shop near him.
