[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my dad — except for the weird taking your food part. Honestly, we just see him for very limited doses of time. He likes to tell stories in which he is always the hero. He knows virtually nothing about our lives. He might ask my daughter a few questions. My husband and my sister’s husband joke around about my dad never picking up the check.

Honestly, it is fine because he lives close enough that he doesn’t spend the night. If he had to do that, I could manage a few days and so could my husband. At this point, he is an old man with a lot of health issues and who really cares about his ridiculous stories of how amazing he was at sports, his career, etc. They are boring at this point because I’ve heard them a million times.[/quote]

This is so on target. I would be fine if this was just a two or three day visit. But anything longer just depresses all of us. No we don’t want to sit silently at dinner while you drone on about your corporate wins from the job you retired from years ago.  He didn’t ask a single question about our employment issues and the fact that we had zero income coming in for several weeks. I’m just tired. And I’m mad that I have to go grocery shopping again to replace all the food he stole. [/quote]
