I couldn't go 3 days without my father hounding me "Don't you have to go shopping or something?"

He couldn't stand to be away from him. God forbid I mention my kid coming down with the sniffles. He'd put his foot down, and say "I'm coming over to pick him up and spend the night with me."

My neice had a baby. My BIL is like my dad. Lives way across town, but shows up almost daily saying he's just in the neighborhood doing some shopping.
