I'm so glad oldest SD lives 3 provinces away...
She called last night....Every time I answer the phone and get that "IS MY DAD THERE?" it drives me crazy. Never, ever, ever, ever how are you...the kids?! I have done nothing to this person...accept deliver her father by plane....for a visit for the first time ever!! Loan her my vehicle, look after her child, buy chirstmas/birthday gifts for her & her family. Try to talk to her to get to know her & she me. (After 5 yrs...I don't bother anymore) AND MAKE HER FATHER THE HAPPIEST HE HAS BEEN IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS!!!!! My GOD!! How horrible!!! I must be punished!!!!!
That "Is my Dad there?" phrase just goes through me like fingernails on a chaulkboard!!!!
Aaaaahhhhh......
I feel better now....getting that out of my system!
Thanks

What a load
Wouldn't you love to say yes & then just hang up? I hate when people can't make an effort to make things civilized.
Oh my God .... would I ever!!
I'll have a big smile on my face thinking of your reply next time she calls...
Next time when she calls say
Next time when she calls say "what no hello or how are you?" that will just irritate the hell out of her. I wouldn't do her any favors either.
Happy Mom....if you knew how
Happy Mom....if you knew how many times I have done exactly that! Oh Hi SD!! How are you? What's new? The GrandSon must be getting big! Or did youngest SD tell you about our "fishing trip" or "bike ride" or "ball game" or "guess what you Dad did" or "whatever it might be".....it goes on and on....
The worst just happeded two months ago....
when she had the 2nd grandson. My SD husband called looking for "Dad" ..he wasn't home. So I was asked to relay a message for him to call SD at this number ###-###-###. I said Ok. And that was it. The conversation was over!! He had nothing else to say.... I was about to hang up..but I asked did SD have her baby.? OH ya she did..its a boy!
They weren't even going to mention it to me......
Something most people would scream out the window to strangers...
I didn't deserve to be included....
I just don't have it in me anymore...
After 5 years....I think I'm done!!
I'm sorry I misread your comment...I'm not having a good day...I missed the throwing it back at her with a hint of sarcasm I've just been trying to be nice and wait it out. It's funny cause I'm usually pretty good with the sarcasm...I use it with my own kids/mixed with a good dose of humour. I get my point across about the ghosts in the house who leave the milk out and the closet door open and we usually all can have a little laugh too..
