my grandparents
my grandparents have officially lost their mind. i love them to death and i wouldnt trade them for the world, but they are causing so many issues right now.
so, backstory: my gparents live in florida but have a condo here (actually in the complex where we used to live). so, they come up here and stay for like 2 months and then go back. they don't have a car here and completely rely on my dad for transportation and entertainment. they also dont have any friends here. basically, they're bored.
so my gma's half-sister, is coming into town Sunday with her family. my gma invited them to stay at my dad's house overnight on Sunday...without asking my dad. he had already offered his spare rooms to someone else (his gf and her daughter, visiting from out of town bc her other daughter just had a baby and he's much closer to the hospital then she is). my gpa called my dad yesterday screaming at him that he's choosing his gf over them and that we never include them in anything and we never make time for them.
i dont know what to do. my dad's upset, my grandpa is acting crazy (he is pretty old and in declining health) and my grandma is stuck in the middle. there is only so mjuch time to go around...M-F we all work...and the weekends are often full of house stuff or other engagements. we invited them to the party i had for Brad and they went and sat outside on the deck by themselves the whole time. now i hear they're mad no one talked ot them. i mean?!? we can't win.
please tell me how to get through this. i just want to be the peacemaker. i dont know how much longer my gpa will be alive (espeically with the crazy-acting that is going on) and i'd hate for there to be damage done that can't be fixed/forgotten.

Re: my grandparents
Agreed. I would just stay out of it.
they do have a condo but they only have 2 bedrooms and 1 is setup as an office.
yeah..it's a mess. i dont know...everyone is mad at everyone else. it's just not going to be a great time.
Gotcha! Sorry I don't know what to tell you to do other then help offer turn the office into a make shift bedroom. Anyone have an aero bed?
