Ask Amy: Dad moved in, now – how to get him out?
Dear Amy: I’m asking a question on behalf of my friend, “Brad,” who is in a sticky situation.
Brad’s dad had surgery several weeks ago and is doing well now.
He stayed with Brad while he recuperated for nearly two months – all through the holidays.
The dad has his own home nearby and is a widower.
He has settled into Brad's home with absolutely no regard for other family members. Brad’s daughter recently packed her bags and moved out because there is no more privacy at the home.
Brad and I actually took the dad to a medical appointment and then took him to his house to see what shape it was in.
The home is organized, cozy and his own, but he is refusing to leave Brad’s house.
He has no concept of privacy. He took over the entire first floor living room, kitchen, guest bathroom, den, and dining room.
Brad can't enjoy his own home anymore, and his dad won’t budge!
Do you have any ideas on how to politely and tactfully ask Dad to return to his own home?
