AIBU - annoyed about having to keep dads mail?

[letterjerk]

This is definitely a petty thing to be annoyed about but it's a bit of a last straw - so want to know if I'm being unreasonable.

My father moved abroad 6 years ago, the original plan was to put him on my council tax etc, as he was planning to split his time between living in the U.K. with my family and abroad.

Due to COVID however this was only possible a couple of those years.

So as he is registered at my house I get all his post

He is currently applying for a visa for his wife to be able to live in the U.K. with him and explore moving back permanently

Most of his post is junk so I recycle/shred.

I received a letter for him today and it looked important so scanned it to him. He then asked if I could keep this letter and any banking or official type letters for the next 6 months as he might need them for her visa application.

I said I would try, but as this is a busy family home (2 kids, both parents working FT, I'm pregnant with number 3) and I barely (read don't) keep on top of my own important post so I can't promise to keep all these letters for months (let alone find them all again half a year down the line)

He is annoyed that I won't guarantee the safety of his letters, when I have agreed to scan them to him, keeping track of them for months is just a bit too much for me to promise.

The most annoying thing is he isn't even sure he needs the hard copies, they don't accept online bank statements but nothing about scanned hard copies - and he won't bother checking of course.

AIBU to be pissed about this request and his attitude to me not being able to 100% guarantee in 6 months time all these letters will be findable?

Seriously how hard is it to put the letter in a folder on the cupboard

Is it really so hard to have 1 place to keep them? I looked after my dad’s affairs for a few years and just put everything in 1 basket.
