[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad has been saying he’s going to retire and spend summers with us for a decade. He’s in his 70’s now qnd works 7 days a week. My brothers get frustrated and upset with him. I get busy with my kids and enjoy his after work or short breaks with him. I just find it so self centered to have people change their wishes to make me happy. Even if they do aquiesce for you, you know deep down it’s insincere. [/quote]

So the majority of your father's kids resent him for continually deciding to be absent in their lives, and you think the lesson is that you taking his decade of lies on the chin and repressing your need for attention for a parent is a sign of how evolved you are?  Not the flex you thought.[/quote]

Not resentful. I’m proud of his achievements, he is on top of his industry and respectful of him. Look I could be resentful that my husband should lose weight or xyz. You can pin your happiness on others or not. It’s about control and Gisele is a control freak. [/quote]

[i]You [/i]aren't resentful.  Your brothers (plural) are.  It's not about "pinning your happiness" on others to expect a father to spend time with his kids - parents have a responsibility to their children. You're not more evolved than your brothers because you accept being lied to by your father and choose to focus on his non-family accomplishments.  But you'll definitely be chosen to give the eulogy, so you've got that going for you.[/quote]
