My dad and rest of the family all live in this small town not far away from each other. Our family's tradition is to visit grandparents more often, even if it is just a "hello-goodbye" kind of visit. Dad is a 78 years old grandpa and very disciplinarian and longs for more attention from kids and grandkids as well. He doesn't drive and when he needs ride, he calls on anyone and everyone to give him a ride and if they are running late for some few minutes, he gets mad and scorns them. Dad complains that these grandkids do not love him and do not even visit him very often. Most of the grandkids have their boyfriends and girlfriends, and they hang around more with them and their families more than their grandparents. How can I mend the gap?

Organize.

Set rotations and shifts. Assign days when different people are to tend to him so that they can plan it into their schedule. If you plan it and divide it up, it won't seem like as much of a chore and they'd be willing ot tolerate it. Telling them to "Go and see him nah" will just frustrate them.
