to be annoyed that my dad cant come to my ds party this sat....

[mum2samandalex]

because hes going to watch a stupid first division football match. Im so annoyed as ds really wants him to go every other year hes been away on holiday for his bd and the one time hes here he cant be bothered. He holds a season ticket and has not gone to a match before for other bloody reasons.

[mum2samandalex]

I hope his flaming team lose

My parents have never been to a party of either dd or ds as they live too far away.

It wouldn't bother me if they lived closer and didn't come.

So do I, FWIW

His loss, though, in the long run.

[mum2samandalex]

even if your dc really wanted them to come and they have said they would or am i supposed to plan the party around them

[mum2samandalex]

i wouldnt be bothered but ds really wants him to go

[Fimbo]

Surely your ds will be playing with his friends to be bothered about whether your dad is there or not. I know my ds wouldn't give a toss.

I can sense you are very upset though and will bow out of the thread now

[HonoriaGlossop]

It depends on the kid I think, Fimbo

My DS really WOULD notice the absence of GPs from a party; he's close the them, loves them to bits and wants to play with them.

Sounds like mum2's boy is similar

[mum2samandalex]

sorry fimbo just feel slightly annoyed at his priorities maybe its because he used to do the same with me when i was younger. Although agree ds will prob be ok

[mum2samandalex]

although yes he is close to his gd and has been asking him for wks to come.
