[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. Sorry, but I have to vent.  After he left, he called me 15 minutes later and asked to take the kids for the day tomorrow. I told him we already had our week planned out and that was why we made plans with him for Saturday and that I really, truly needed to get back to work.  Then 15 minutes later, he texted me telling me that he really needs to talk to me.  Honestly, WTF?!?  I'm losing it.[/quote]

He's dropping by the house because he can't seem to get anywhere with you on the phone.  It's clear that he wants to spend a little time with you and the grand kids. Your only in town for a week and it sounds as though you  are totally blowing him off until the very last day when you'll probably be too busy packing up to spend any real time with him.

Your dad has offered to take your kids horseback riding and you've nixed that idea because one of the kids has allergies.  You might want to talk to your pediatrician and see if the allergies can be controlled with allergy meds.  If so, there is no reason for your kids to miss this experience with grandpa, the memories will last them a lifetime.  If not, then you need to TALK to your dad and try to figure out something else that he would like to do with his grand kids.

OP, my own dad died after a lengthy and heart wrenching illness before my own children were even born.  Don't take this time that you have with your own dad for granted.  He wants to do something with the grand kids?  Let him!  You're worried about him driving/being attentive?  Go with![/quote]
