[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is lonely, OP, and one day you will be older and lonely.  I hope you are able to find someone with a kind heart even though you are a meam, cold, selfish bitch now.[/quote]

So if her kids want her attention but she sends them off to camp or daycare so she can focus on her job and have a little me-time that [i]wouldn't[/i] make her a cold, selfish bitch? That would just make her a modern woman who has every right to hold tight to her sense of self and career aspirations?  [/quote]

Is OP's dad sleeping in her home? Is he with her all day during weekends? What are you saying - one has to be SAHM who spend with her children every moment they want to spend with her in order to be allowed to spend any time with her parents?[/quote]

OP's father is acting like a child showing up whenever his heart desires and pulling rank (I'm the father!) when she says no. She's open to spending time with her parents-- when she's not working. Just like many of us who spend time with our kids-- when we're not working. A child of 4 may not understand that, but a grown adult of 64 or 74 should. [/quote]

This only happens a week or two a year. How many of those visits total are we talking about? There is no analogy with children here, because OP, even if working mother, spends thousands hours with her kids.[/quote]
