Re: Oh boy! Dad is taking us to dinner. (vent)

It is difficult. I had one of those momentary pangs myself last night. "I WANNA SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH DADDY!" I got. Okayyyy... wondering where THAT came from. Well apparently, her father elected to discuss visitation with her, not with me (at 5 years old), and apparently the IMPRESSION was given that ***I*** was not ALLOWING her to spend Christmas with her father.
High road? Got a wee bit lower. And I make NO apologies for it. Truth is, this IS your dad's Christmas BUT he's elected to allow your sister to travel with her mother instead of being with him as she's supposed to be and so he's not taking you for Christmas either, you'll celebrate early. That's HIS choice. AND, your father has an invitation to come HERE for Christmas, if he chooses. Not a big deal.
I'll let x amount go, but will NOT let go the impression that I'm somehow STOPPING her from seeing him on x or y date. Nope, not happening. I wasn't mean, I wasn't upset, I said it as it is, simple fact. And it's NOT a big deal. but I won't tolerate him adding any unnecessary drama with a child he hasn't bothered to understand or relate to. Plain and simple. And when we speak tonight? That's EXACTLY, verbatim, what he'll be told.
