[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but it isn't an announced policy - it's just something I make sure not to let happen.  My dad is physically and emotionally unstable so I never am far away when he's around.  I might not be in the room but I'm absolutely within earshot.

I don't make it overt, and his physical limitations mean that significant opportunity to be alone w/ the kids really doesn't come up much so I'm able to accomplish it fairly discreetly.

There are three sets of grandparents in total and we have twin toddlers so we don't have individuals clamoring for tons of solo responsbility time for both kids!  :-)  But I'll comfortably leave the kids with either other pair, or my mother, for a few hours at a time.  Just not my dad.[/quote]

This is how we've handled things with my mom.  She's asked a couple times when she comes to visit from out of town--oh, why don't I watch him so you two can go out.  I just say that he's a handful and we enjoy spending time with her too.[/quote]
