jerks
November 26, 2007 7:37 pm Dogsit would seem that my parents are jerks.
there where plans to go to scotland in May next year for a bit of a ‘howie’ family get together.
And jenny and I where going to travel around scotalnd a bit with my parents and maybe share the flights over too.
Mum got me to check out quotes and things and told me what they would like to do and places to go to. Like they wanted to do a bit of europe after scotland.
So jenny and i worked out what we would like to do and thought it would be nice to drop in on kostas and eleni in greece and say hi for a few days and maybe got to holand for a few days.
There was a couple of idea being thrown around between me and mum today over the phone, then tonight i call them casue jenny and i had a new plan and dad tells me its all too hard and that our plan s dont line up and its too hard to try and make them line and that its probably best that we dont go with them, that we maybe travel at a later date when they arnt there. He said he didnt want to try and make it work.
Jerks
I told them how nice it was that he didnt want to travel with me and jenny, he just replied ‘oh well’
way to make your son feel loved.
its crap so no more overseas trip to see family and firends for howie and jenny casue we cant justify it fincially and we wanted to go to the family thing. It was a good reason for us to travel to see family but if its just for a holiday at some later stage by ourselves we cant really do it.
bloody hell!
I hope tomorrow is a better day

Hi Robert,
This is a very sad story. Sounds like the kind of thing my parents might do too. I don’t know your parents but if it was mine I would let things lie for a couple of days and ring again and tell them how much you and Jenny were really looking forward to the trip and that you would like to keep working on a way forward together.
