[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. For a little background, my father is constantly trying to make plans on behalf of other people. When I was pregnant he announced that he expected to spend at least one weekend per month visiting without asking me if that would work. He buys tickets to visit and I have to dodge his calls so he doesn’t actually just show up. No amount of time spent together is enough. I don’t know what the diagnosis is, but it doesn’t seem normal. [/quote] OP - my mom is like this and she keeps score to make sure other grandparents don’t get more time with us than she does. The key is to make a regular schedule and stick to it. My parents know they will see us every Tuesday night and one activity or meal on the weekend. Once my mom realized she always knew when she’d see us next, she backed WAY off and I didn’t have the mental burden of constantly making plans. Tuesday is dinner at my house. We make Sat/Sun plans on Tuesday at dinner. [/quote]
