[quote=Anonymous]Please read this as (mono)tone. :-) My thoughts are.... Whatever your relationship with your NF, it's between you all. Essentially, you are asking if they are willing to open their home and expose their children to a stranger their parents don't know, and haven't met. It doesn't matter that he's your dad. To them, he's still a stranger. On that premise, did they hire you sight unseen and just ask you to show up and begin nannying for their children? This is not a reasonable request. I noticed that you proclaim everyone as "too busy" for anything to work other than what you--apparently keenly desire. You haven't chosen to share why it's such a disruption to be at your home, and that's fine. However, it verges on the incredulous to think dad couldn't be quietly enjoying a coffee, book, earbuds activity in the same space as your hubby. Teleconferences are done in offices with lots of activity surrounding the participant. And how overwhelming is it for dad to spend time at Starbucks winding down from the drive, have a coffee, read, listen to the Muzak, people watch. And if you deem it not quite important enough to "inconvenience" for the DB/MB to come home 2 hours early.... Again, how is it mission critical to have him come spend time with their kids, in their home. It's all a bit puzzling.[/quote]
