Hiya ladies, I hope I'm posting in the right place, just wanted to have a rant about my Dad!! He lives up country and I haven't seen him in a few years, mainly because he doesn't bother with myself or my brother. He loves my sister and makes an effort to keep in contact with her. Since I got pregnant I've been the one to speak to him and keep him updated and he seemed very excited about it. My OH and I have arranged to go and see him at the end of this month, and my sister will be there (She lives in London). I feel a bit guilty cause my sister is very excited about my pregnancy and I don't get to include her in things as she's so far away, so I've booked a scan with BabyBond for when we are all together, that way my Dad can be there aswell. I phoned him to tell him, and his reaction was 'Oh. I don't know what we're going to be doing.' :shock: I thought to myself, 'Haven't I just given us something to do?' He then went on to say 'And we don't know if your stepmum will be working,' which I'm upset about cause they said she would book time off when we told them which dates we were going up, which we did a few weeks ago. I'm really upset now..My sister is ecstatic and we're planning to have the scan anyway..Another reason why I booked it was because I needed cheering up cause I've felt so miserable and now I feel worse. Sorry, just wanted to rant :cry:

If it's not that and he's just being an arse, then bollocks to him, and have fun with your sister :hug:
