[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Tell your dad that your 15 year old will be fine together. Why not do things on your own? Have you own fun week?[/quote]

My dad hangs out with him a lot (he is local and they both like watching the same esoteric sport on TV).  He's not so much worried that they won't be fine together as he is that he can't do all the activities that DS wants.  He has a hard time saying no.  For example, he and DS can both play pickleball, but DS is obviously in better shape, and when they are here, he always keeps my dad out longer than he wanted at it, and then my dad feels like crap.  I think my dad just needs to draw better limits.  He is a quiet guy and not super assertive guy and it is hard for him to do that.[/quote]

Tell your son that. He is old enough to understand. Tell him, "Grandpa is worried he won't be able to keep up with you. I would love for you to have a weekend just with Grandpa. But please, keep Grandpa's health in mind. He won't tell you when he is tired so you need to be extremely respectful and not overdo it. Promise me." [/quote]
