To think he should of called back?

[bitzy12]

DD's dad lives 120 miles away.

This morning dd was sick. She wanted to FaceTime her dad. She did, told him she had been sick and felt poorly. He said he hoped she would feel better soon and he would ring her back in an hour as he was on his way home from work. He would get showered and sorted and ring back.

This was 7 hours ago. He hasn't rang back. She's 6 years old. Not even a message to ask how she is.

Thinking about it....he's probably gone straight to the beer garden hasn't he. Fair enough, his free weekend but still....at least find out how your daughter is.

She hasn't really mentioned him not calling back as she really doesn't feel good.

She's asleep at the min.

It's bugged me though. Don't say you are going to ring your child back and then don't. Especially when your child has rang to speak to you. Even more so when they are poorly.

Rant over

Just message him to remind him. Or ask a convenient time when she wakes

Let it go. You’re only annoying yourself. He can’t feel your rage.

Its not really about this but about him generally isnt it?

Because your daughter isnt bothered.

Also shes "only" poorly, people get colds, its not a life or death situation and he already spoke to her today.

@bitzy12 I’m with you, if he gave a shit he’d have called. Also, he promised your DD he would, so the rest is irrelevant. He’s a dick.

@BrightonCalling it's the fact that he promised he would call her back. She was in tears when she spoke to him. I don't understand how you could promise your poorly child then just not bother doing it.

He is a shit dad in general. Not not even putting the effort in when they are ill shows it all.
