[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a long term thing? If your father is just staying for a month or so, I should have just cancelled the party for your son, but if this is a long term change and your father is going to live with you forever, I disagree with pp that you should teach your son priorities and cancel his party.[b] It is a pretty big change for everyone involved but your son should be able to still have his friends over even when  grandpa is sick.[/b]
But all is in the tone you say things op - you could have asked nicely to your dad to leave the couch "hey Dad, little Billy's friends are coming over to play some video games and I would like to straight out the place a little bit before they arrive. Do you mind going to the living room to watch some tv there?" Or something along those lines. You could still clean the place with Lysol, but don't need to state it.

I am in a similar situation but in a way, I think it is easier for my (young) child and for me as well since my in-law is not cognitive. But your husband went overboard with the monitor thing… you should see my house. Everyday I wake up to a little bit more of destruction. Can.not.wait.to.move.

WTF? When someone is sick, plans change.  If I were sick DH wouldn't have his poker buddies over and force me to hole up in some room somewhere.  His buddies could have done something else, played video games in another room, etc.

And yeah, suggesting that you have to do a deep clean makes your dad feel like a burden .  Does everyone lysol their house after someone gets sick? [/quote]
Uh when my DH had the flu, I put him in the guest room, and I Lysoled the bitch down every 1 days while I put DH in the tub!!
PP have you ever heard of the flu??[/quote]
