Mapper71 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 This is just awesome! My stepdaughter is 16. H says to me on Saturday "So is `D graduating? Have you texted her lately" ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!! He goes "Well I'm confused because she's a junior in high school but also in Running Start classes in college so I didn't know if she was graduating high school or what." You are SOOOO out of touch to not even know if your own daughter is graduating or HAS graduated and to ask me basically when it's finals time if it's happening?! And THEN to ask ME if I'VE texted her about it! Umm...are YOU incapable of it? He never asks about her grades or asks to have them sent to him. The only thing he keeps telling her is "You need to go into the army. It would give you so much perspective". She is not and will not EVER go into the army so stop telling her that! My mouth just about dropped when he asked me if she was graduating though! Don't you think that's something you would know months ahead of time and get invited to the ceremony and maybe give her a present? It's not something you ask like the day of!

daisydook Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I would think this is something a father would pay more attention to, yes. I cant say my response would be any different. I would be a little flabbergasted if this was out of the ordinary. I mean, how plugged in is he normally? He sounds completely ignorant to everything going on in her life, not to mention whether or not she has graduated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tayla Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Sounds that he was inquiring, and the response could have been matter of factly conveyed. I'm confused with my grandsons classes and courses. He is in 4th grade yet takes 5th grade math, 6 grade science and is in excellerated english! At this rate he could graduate in 3 different years! So a simple inquiry to set things straight can help. Sometimes a parent who isn't in the mix alot can use some guidance. Definitely stand your ground on that military rant. Few folks need that brainwashing to gain perspective.

Smilecharmer Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Your threads make me wonder if you are in some sort of denial that your husband isn't a good person or man. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
