I have invited my dad for Christmas as he is on his own with no real friends. Our relationship isn’t fantastic as he can be quite harsh with his views. My dd suffers with anxiety and can get overwhelmed easily. I have two other siblings, one lives close and the other a couple of hours away. One sibling had offered to help with transport but no accommodation offer. Last time my dad stayed with us we did everything. I need the other siblings to step up as I don’t want my dd having panic attacks. The sibling who has offered transport has said they won’t have my dad staying as there is no spare bed (she has a 2 bedroom house but lives on her own). Our house is full to the brim, dh, ds, dd and 2 pets) Wwyd? Thanks.

Can you afford to go away with your dad for Christmas?

MN is a weird place where many people never host or do a kind thing for their family, so you'll get a hard time on this thread

I'd not have him to stay if he can't behave. Buy him a night at a local hotel as his 'present' and just host him for lunch and then send him packing tbh. I don't understand why people insist on having unpleasant relatives to stay for nights on end when they're already full to bursting. Why?
