July 2012 Weddings

My Father

So my dad has never been one to show his emotions or even be a fatherly figure. As most of you know from reading my posts my sister is preg. She is due pretty much any day now and the doctors want her to hold out for another 2 weeks. She is offically due on July 21st but they dont see that happening. Well everytime my sisters posts an due date update or a weekly update my dad puts July 14th as his guess. He has done this multiple times, over 5 to be exact. That is my wedding day. So finally I got sick of it mainly because my sisters FIs family posted that too. Pissed me off. So tonight yet again he posted July 14th on my sisters post and i spoke up. I said "Dad it seriously hurts my feeling that you keep posting July 14th." He responded with "Im sorry I didnt know that day was all about you" I replied "Uh yah actually it is." It honestly hurts me that he keeps "joking" about it. I say "joking" cause 1 time is joking, 2nd time is annoying but after the 5th time its hurtful.

Re: My Father

  • Sorry you are going through this.... I would be hurt too.  What does your sister say about it? Are you close with her?   Perhaps facebook isn't the right venue for this and you should have a conversation with your dad about why you are hurt and explain that you only get one wedding day and you really want your family to be there.  Is he walking you down the aisle?  
  • Melissa that sucks that he's doing that.  I'd be hurt to.  My dad 'jokes' like this all time and then wonders why I freak out on him...

    Hope he gets it soon and stops!

  • Unfortunetly FB is the only place I can actually talk to my dad without me screaming in his face! Its just non stop with him about every topic possible. He never takes anything serious, and I rather just say it through FB then to his face because he just wouldnt care. He is walking me down the isle, with much protest from myself. I told him he can walk me but my son is going to give me away because its my son who has to accept my FI into his life. I could careless if my dad accepted him. My sister and I were super close until she got with her FI. I dont agree with her life choices and how she is living so I have distanced myself from my sister to a certain degree. She thinks im overreacting about it. but that is also because she is a daddys girl and he can do no wrong.

  • Oh Melissa I'm sorry you're going through all this right before your day.  I totally get why your son is giving you away.  I think that's great!  I wish, for your sake, that your Dad saw it too.  And I'm sorry you're going through this with your sister, it sucks when that happens.

    I hope everything works out! *HUGS*
