Today, a relative wants to come over and spend time with him, and she just plans to study and also bring her dog with her since we have a dog and the two of them can play (which I think is a good idea, honestly speaking). Well, I mentioned this to my dad, and the fact that I was going to pick this relative up, and he was like, "No." I know he likes to be by himself and that sort of thing, but lately he's suffering from a bad leg and that reasoning is sort of questionable right now. It's all right if he's left alone for a few hours (more like three) but the thing is, I'm working today, and so is my mother, and he will be alone most of the day.
I did tell the relative this and she seemed pretty hurt about all of it. She even asked if my father was all right. I explained things (the best I could) but thanks to this, I doubt she'll come over today, period.
I know that was a mouthful, but I'm hoping you can answer.
In response to the first answer...after mulling this incident over and over I realised I shouldn't have asked him, I should have let the relative come over in the first place. Well, next time.
