[quote=Anonymous]A month trial is a great idea, but during that time you need to do everything you can to make it work. This is your dad. He's asked to come live with you. It seems disrespectful of all the sacrifices he made for you to say no or put him in a home. That may mean adjusting your family schedule to have dinner together. Or finding fishing holes, dropping by the county rec center for some brochures on activities, getting him a library card, etc. Have him help out too, ask him to cook 1 or 2 nights, or be in charge of the lawn. In other words, really try to make a place for him. If he ends up missing his friends and choosing to move back, fine. He won't feel like his family couldn't be bothered to adjust.[/quote]
