Last year my father who lives on the other side of the world, spent Xmas Day with us. He is a typical narcissist and world revolves around him. On the day he wouldn't eat breakfast with us. Came for 1/2 hour before church, to church, had a light lunch and went back to his B&B then didn't return. Apparently he fell asleep.
Just got an email asking when would be best to phone as he's busy on Xmas Day with friends and 'playing Santa' to two other families. Am annoyed as he spent very little time with his Grandkids. He got annoyed on Xmas Eve when we wouldn't go sightseeing as DC's wanted to do xmas stuff. Very tempted to send back an email saying pity he spends more time with Xmas than with family, but DH doesn't want me wading into a fight. I know I should walk away but think it's just letting him get away with it. What do I do?
