To be annoyed

[aibutohavethisusername]

DD has been drafting/editing her UCAS personal statement and has submitted it this evening.

My DP, not her Dad, is now in a mood because she and I didn’t involve him. DD wasn’t keen to and DP now thinks we have deliberately left him out.

He is sulking and gaming. Aibu to be annoyed with him or were my daughter and I in the wrong?

People use the term 'dp' on here to mean a lot of different things.

Is your dp a 'recent beau' or has he been there as her father figure for 17 years ?

If your dd didn't want to, then that's that.

It's her UCAS form it's her life, it's her choice.

But I suppose she isn't allowed to just tell him she didn't want to do it with him, you know to protect the feelings of a grown adult man and to avoid his sulks.

It's really simple, it's her choice and that's that.

He’s being pathetic.

On the face of it, he is being a great big fucking baby.

Does he have form for this or is it out of character?

In what way did he expect to be involved? I don't think my parents even knew what a ucas form was when i did mine

Sulking and gaming? What a baby.

Tell him to put on his big pants and suck it up.

He sounds immature! Although did he possibly ask to be involved/mention previously he’d like to help and he’s hurt he wasn’t asked? Doesn’t excuse sulking but maybe that’s why it’s hit a nerve.

Why would he possibly need to be involved? Tell him to grow up.

He's being really immature about it. But personally I found it really helpful to get lots of different people to read my personal statement to check for any mistakes and to make it a really good, well rounded statement.

If your daughter is at school or college they may want to see it before it's submitted. Some schools/colleges retrieve them from UCAS if they've been submitted.

Why wasn’t she keen to involve him?

My son did his personal statement on his own, neither I or dp were involved because its just that a personal statement about themselves. I cannot understand why he would have the hump about not being involved? Sounds rather childish to me
