Accept the interaction as it is
My policy, any time I visit anybody, is to let them show me their life. I’m on their turf, after all. So maybe don’t show up at your dad’s house with an agenda, and tons of expectations for how the interaction will go. In forty years, you won’t care at which restaurant you ate during this visit. You’ll just cherish the time together. And pushing your agenda onto him just sets him up to let you down. So, maybe do what your dad wants to do when you visit him. You can do what you want to do when he visits you.
