[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My toddler and I are staying with my Dad and Stepmom over the weekend.

My dad has picked up chain smoking in the last few years and smokes marijuana daily. Thankfully he smokes outside but the smell still sticks to his clothes, furniture and vehicle. He begins drinking at about noon and has 5-6 beers/day. When I asked him about his drinking he says he regards beer as "just water" and I told him it’s absolutely not just water. He can’t hear in one ear and yells at me in frustration when I have to repeat myself because according to him I "don’t talk loud enough"; but he refuses to wear hearing aids.

My stepmom absolutely caters to him - he’s retired and sits on the couch watching news at full blast. He wears his housecoat in the morning with NOTHING ON UNDERNEATH. He then asks my 2 year old to take an afternoon nap with him (my son doesn’t even nap) and I said absolutely not.

He is driving me nuts. There’s no way we can stay with him again and I know it will hurt his feelings. But this feels like way too much to deal with. His drinking, smoking, NUDITY in the morning. Please tell me to either have more patience with him or just stay somewhere else next time we come to visit. [/quote]

I can't think of any reason he needs to see your son again while all of this is going on.[/quote]
