The problem is my landlord isn't their landlord, so I am not sure if she could do anything. Each floor of this house is owned separately and there is no real condo association to speak of.
Ah. Board of Health, then. I'm serious.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

I'll talk with TCG about it when he gets home. All of this would be much easier if they would just respect the fact that I am the only one who is allowed to be home all day. I think they work at night, because they're never home in the evenings.

vw, that is stunningly cute.
And I'm a cat person. But - BLESS.
JZ - sounds like a pretty good plan to me wrt grandpa-wrangling. Hope it might prove suitable?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Fay, sadly, no. It's a nonstarter because I know (sort of) how he thinks, and a reception that does not involve the presence of his actual granddaughter would be FAKE.
It'll work out; I'm just supremely irritated at the amount of time and energy that's going into managing my dad instead of planning for the actual event.

We should stop having events. No more birthdays!

Now tagless for your comfort.
{{JZ}} Gah. Good luck. It's a tough thing but I hope you manage to deal with the situation--and give Hec's dad the respect and experience he needs as well as what YOUR new, little family needs. At least get some goggles to keep your pretty eyes from rolling away.

Heh. Costume-party baptism; I'll be going as Mad-Eye Moody.

JZ, is it possible to have a small gathering after the baptism where you can spend time with Hec's dad and let your dad throw the big shindig he wants to have the following week?

We don't want a big shindig at all. It's a Thing. The extended family of Greek cousins is moneyed and they have very elaborate events, and everybody keeps score and it's a conspicuous display. Some of the cousins live well beyond their means to maintain this form of hierarchical posturing. That ain't us. And the sooner her Dad adjusts his expectations on this subject, the better.
