I think it's fine OP.

Same here. I'd just cut out of work 2hrs early.

Geez. What a problem. Just ask if you can leave 1 h earlier

I agree with the poster who said your dad should wait at your house. Your husband should figure out a way to accommodate his Fil For an hour. Good grief.

Your Dad can wait at your place, he's a grown up and won't bug your husband. He can read a book, have some coffee etc and wait for you to be done working.

Or you can ask to leave early.
I don't see why you need your NF to meet your Dad honestly.

Wow. Your nasty tone wasn't necessary.
He can't go to my place. I'm not going to inconvenience my bosses to leave early.
They show an interest in my life and invite DH and I over for dinner every month.
They even told me to bring my sister over when she was visiting from Washington because they wanted to meet her.
I'll just have him wait at Starbucks.

My tone wasn't nasty.
I told you honestly what I thought.
Do as you please.

OP, the PP you responded to didn't have a nasty tone. She gave an honest answer when you asked for opinions. My friend lives in a small studio apartment and works from home, and I know she's had people who need a place to crash stay there. They put in earbuds and don't bother each other, even sitting on the bed (which doubles as a couch). So it's hard for us to understand why your dad can't be in the same space as your husband for a quarter of the day.

If I could work from home in order to meet the family member I'd allow it. Otherwise, no.

Only you know your family.
I know my dad would have no interest in spending the day with little kids not his grandchildren or meeting my employers.
That's just him.

Personally, I would use a little personal time and go home early to pick up dad and spend time with him.

MB here. I would be fine with this request (given your long standing relationship with the family.)

I have a great relationship with them. To the PP, you wouldn't trust your nanny enough not to bring safe people around your kids?
My father is the least dangerous person on earth.

I wouldn't trust a man in my home with my kids. Sorry, but I would have to decline your request.

This really depends on the relationship you have with your employers and their personalities. I personally have a great relationship with mine and they always let my boyfriend join us for a day if we go to a fun activity. They let my cousin wait at their house before our trip and then drove us to the airport. But that's my family. There are many people who would be extremely uncomfortable with that. I would probably ask first if it were possible to leave an hour early using some pto, if you don't think they are accommodating.

In theory, I would not be okay with it. However, thinking about it, my nanny has asked for almost exactly this same thing before and I didn't have a problem with it at all. In fact, I would have been embarrassed if she had her father wait at a Starbucks because I wouldn't allow him in my home.

I've been with my NF for almost 2 years. We have a great relationship!
My father will be coming into town to meet me for dinner next month. He lives about an hour from me, but we don't see each other much due to our work schedules, lives, etc.
In order to beat traffic, he'll need to arrive in my area around 4pm.
I don't leave work until 5. I'd let him wait at my place, but my husband works from home and it would be too disruptive.
Do you think it would be out of line for me to ask my employers if my father could hang out with me at work for an hour?
He could always wait at Starbucks, but I'd love for them all to meet him, as I will be working for them for many years.
I never, ever ask for stuff like this.
As an MB, would you be ok with this request?
