My father lives, not even 10 mintues from me by car, my In-laws live in Scotland, 7 hours by plane. We speak to them on the computer every Sunday via Web cam. They fly out to see us twice a year, once in the summer and once over christmas. They are over now I love my in-laws they are wonderful people.
Well it is fathers day, typically the morning is for my hubby and the girls and then the afternoon we see my dad. This year we could not as my in-laws are down. They are not anti-social, but they feel like they have to socialize with the family if we go there or if my family come here and they would rather prefer to get on the floor and play with the kids for the 10 days they get with them. My inlaws would never ask me to NOT see my family, I have taken it apon myself to tell my family that for those 10 days I dedicate my time and the kids time to them.
Well we bumpt into my dad on Sunday (I did call him and left him a happy fathers day message) he gave me a guilt trip for not coming to spend the day with him . My grandfather is also in the hospital so I was trying to speeze in time to see him as well and my grandmother cannot drive and has dimentia, he is not well and my grandmother is alone (that is a whole other story). So I told my dad that I loved him but I can see him next week and that with Papa in the hospital I need to see to him and Nana, he got all huffy and said "but I am your Dad."
Oh I am ticked at him right now, My family jsut pulls at me this way and that, I can't take care of everyone and my own kids too
