I have been away for a few days and my Dad house sat, he looked after our son , our two dogs and cat and he brought along his own dog they all get on fine.
Before I left I agreed on what I do and don't agree with in the house.
I have returned home this evening and was appalled at what I found.
We agreed all dogs would be crated turns out my Dads dog slept upstairs in the bed with him - we don't have dogs upstairs that are crates at night and sleep in dining room. My Dads dog isn't well house trained so I def don't want her upstairs

Then it also appears that my Dad has been eating food in the lounge - which I don't tolerate

The carpet in the lounge had all bits on which caused me to hoover almost immediately

The garden gate which sections of the muddy grass was open which meant the dogs could run in the mud and then bring it all indoors

There was dog biscuits all over the dining room floor also

It also appears one of the dogs had an accident (wee) on the carpets - my bet is
Oh my Dads dog
Our carpet in new and our own dogs don't do that kind of thing
My Dad didn't tell me about this accident and we found out from our son
It appears my Dad cleared it up with a cloth and warm water
I am livid
I don't even know where about a on the carpet it was

How would you handle this situation
I feel completely disrespected

How old is your son? Could it be he didn't eat at the table as he was in his own so no-one to be sociable with...except the TV

Whilst I agree things should be respected it doesn't sound like any irreparable damage was done so I'd chalk it up to experience and move on

We have pet sitters (though they don't sleep over) and we accept things aren't as we would do but ultimately they do us a favour and save us a load of money to boot.

Life is too short to fall out/be livid for something like this. When you no longer have your dad, this will become a funny/cheeky story you will tell about him

Give him a hug and say thanks
