[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you do it earlier and pair it with another chore? Washing dishes? Commuting to work? Waiting on a kid?[/quote] Yeah I’d try to do it this way. Call when you are in the car driving home from work or on the way to soccer practice. Your dad also probably needs to just get out and socially more. Your family can’t be your dad’s entire social life.[/quote] This approach seems reasonable to me - I don’t know your Dad’s age/ability connect with others but maybe your family is all the social life he still has. I’m sure we all hope that won’t be our situation one day, but if it is, I also hope my kids would find a way to respond to this need (and I appreciate OP that you seems to see him frequently), but perhaps this won’t seem like such a burden in retrospect when he’s no longer around.
