[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, you are in a unique position. You have asked your parents for a favor which affects lifestyle for both them. Know that you are the one who has chosen to make this complicated - since otherwise, you would have the right to demand. "Dad, I've heard your advice. Now stop". Given the whole picture, since you hope to have the arrangement continue, you can encourage your father to express any unhappiness re travel/absence directly to your mother. Make sure you are not coming between your parents. Make sure you are not taking away your Mom from your Dad in order to emphasize that she's on your side and you're right.[/quote]

I'm not sure how to do this, though. I never asked them for a favor - early on it was the nanny and DC and me on the road. My mom missed seeing DC, and our currrent arrangement came into being.

I think a PP is right in that my dad hasn't figured his part as an epty nester but I also think he beleives I should be a SAHM. DH makes enough for me to do so, but I need to work. [/quote]
