[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah Dad sucks. You had the baby a month ago, and the only day he can come meet his grandchild is on a big holiday, where he then expects you to cook a huge meal for him? This seems like a jerk move, regardless of mom’s issues.

[b]I guess if you have been chasing daddy’s approval for a while, it makes sense to ditch your mom & have dad & stepmom over.[/b] Personally I would tell him I already have plans that day, but would love to pick another day for him to visit…like literally, any other day. See how motivated he is to see his daughter & grandchild, vs getting thanksgiving. Where has he been for thanksgiving these last # of years when you have been with your mom? [/quote]

This. Op, you already had plans with your mom. That’s really selfish to ditch her when your dad makes plans *later* to be in town. Just see your dad Weds night or Friday. Or Thursday morning for brunch. [/quote]

+1. You’ve shown your hand to your mom about where exactly she falls in your priorities. I have a dad who does the nonsense yours does. My mom isn’t perfect, but I’m not going to throw the parent who has always been there for me under the bus; Johnny Come Lately Dad can accommodate. Having a newborn is no excuse for living in a fantasyland about how now everyone has to get along. You’re a parent, not a young child…you no longer have the luxury of that kind of thinking.[/quote]
