Finally Heard From My Dad! / Whats Up Tonight?

[MissMusic]

This probably didn't need its own thread but oh well.

So my dad FINALLY texted me tonight and wanted to Skype.  I had taken J12's advice and not made any effort...except I texted him 1 photo of Lillian yesterday.  (It was more out of spite like LOOK AT HOW AWESOME SHE IS AND FUCK YOU TOO FOR NOT REALIZING IT).

H'anyway.

He wanted to Skype at 5:30, which we couldn't do.  I asked to do it at 6:45, after dinner.  But NOPE, because Superbowl > his granddaughter.

Isn't that nice.

So eff him, I'm not going to even humor him anymore, because thats some bullshit right there.  I'm angry.
So whats everyone doing tonight?  I watched the Star Trek: TNG marathon (season 2, eh) while my kid had a super long nap!  Tonight we're not going to watch Sportsball, so IDK whats up.  Maybe sex.  That would be nice.

Ugh I'm so sorry he is acting like that MM! Lillian is amazing and he shouldn't need reminders of that!!

Not much here we are going to watch the game and eat some appetizers I made! Hanging out in my pjs eating junk- yes please! Lol!

[heatherbee]

Sorry he's being such a poop!

I'm snuggling my little girlie watching the puppy bowl currently. And being annoyed with DH who went to a party instead of staying home with his sick wife.

I dislike both teams playing so much I don't really care to watch the game tonight.

[sunflowersummer]

Sorry to hear that, MM . His loss!

My H is at a football party, so R and I are watching Monsters University and having some snacks. I feel bad for my H, his company is doing some major layoffs, and while he is safe for now, he's worried he'll get laid off in the spring. I'm hoping he can forget about work for a couple of hours and have fun at the party.

Your dad doesn't deserve a fraction of an ounce of your and Lillian's awesomeness MissMusic.

Just ate the red chili my H made yesterday (had the white chili for lunch). We cancelled our chili bowl party due to the craptastic weather. I decided to go ahead and make the buffalo chicken dip because delicious. I did not make the "family size" box o' brownies because it would result in me eating a pan of brownies.

I don't care too much about the football game but I am in a pool with some friends and it would be nice to win for once. It includes questions about the game but also things like what song will Katy Perry song first or what color outfit will Idina Menzel wear?

Oh, and apparently the USPS will brave a winter storm, on a Sunday, to deliver something from Amazon. My H ordered some new door stops and S has been playing with the cardboard box all day. Just now it was a spaceship for Elmo!

[somethingcleverer]

I'm sorry your dad is being a turd. He's going to regret his decisions one day and by then it will be too late.

I worked today which was kind of dumb because it snowed so much there was no one in the store. The whole rest of the area closed but not my store. At least I got a lot of work done.

Right now we are watching the puppy bowl which makes me want a dog so bad!

[somethingcleverer]

Oh and H went to a super bowl party because God forbid he misses a party. I wasn't going to go because I still feel like crap but I was still annoyed he went because a.) I still feel like crap and b.) the weather is crap.
It's not far away but still, why risk it?

[rollerrink]

I'm sorry, MM. One day he may finally realize what an ass he's been, but you may have determined that that's just too damn late. Please know: that's all on him. There is, however, a big "if" attached to him ever truly realizing this. These kinds of people rarely seem to be (in their eyes) responsible for their actions, and every broken relationship is someone else's fault. You keep standing firm in your protection of yourself and Lillian.

It's certainly his loss. Sorry you're going through all this.

[lilahbean13]

He is so irritating ! I'm so sorry you have to deal with that.
But yay for sex!

[origamimommy]

Ugh, and I am sure the asshole would be the first to post a picture of Lillian on social media talking about how much he loves her. Fuck off, douche. I am sorry you're going through this, I have been there and it sucks so badly. I understand treating me like garbage, but my perfect, amazing, gorgeous kid? Nope, no more chances.

[pinkluna]

What a twatwaffle! I think you've wasted enough effort and if he doesn't care, then it's his loss!

[aimeefarrahfowler]

That's annoying. Sorry he's being such a douche.

Like I said before, I'm done trying with my dad. If he wants to see the boys, he can. I think (hoping?) it's hard for him now because he doesn't really know what to do with babies/toddlers. I hope he is more involved with them when they're older.

[trixi282]

Yay that he called, boo that he's clearly not in it 100% - still.

Everyone has their own priorities, and it sucks that his are football and not his grandchild. Hugs to you for how crappy it makes you feel, and to L even though she really doesn't know any better yet. ((HUGS))

[roo1582]

Sorry your dad is such a dick and doesn't know whats really important. Sending hugs your way!

[zyas]

Aww I'm sorry your dad is acting like that totally sucky situation.

We didn't watch the Super Bowl either. There are like a million other things I'd rather do than watch it, lol. We were snowed in anyway so we played games with ava and cleaned all our pigs ears out. Fun times indeed at our place!

[USCgirl]

Oh MissMusic! I am so sorry. We are in the same boat with my dad. He has not seen Chloe since her last birthday in June. Doesn't call and only emails me when he wants something. I finally learned that he has NPD and am learning how to cope with it. Not too sure if that is what your dad might have too, but it's worth looking into since they are the most difficult people to deal with and it is the only disease/disorder that is not curable!
