Treating Him Like A Recovering Alcoholic?

A new thought was just presented to my mind today. I really don't know how to answer this. Would I allow my dad to watch my children alone? When asked I answered no right away without thinking because I knew that if I said yes the person who I was having this particular conversation with would have turned it into an argument and that was not what I wanted to argue about. But now that I think about it would I? I know his past and I know how is is now and that he is a much better person now then what he was back then but would I treat him like recovering alcoholic. You don't surround an alcoholic with alcohol so why then would I put that temptation in front of my father. And the sad thing about this is that it is not that I don't trust him but I don't trust him. I know I am not making any sense. Would I really let him watch my children? I want to say yes but if I really think about it I don't know what to say.

I wish I did.
