I have to rant about this:
My dad's dad (my paternal grandfather) is having an all weekend 70th birthday party celebration. This was supposed to occur the weekend of July 13th. We had planned on heading up north (3 hours away) on Friday the 13th and coming home on the 14th.. No big deal.. I was more than happy to go (even though it is my last weekend at home before moving).
Well, they have changed the birthday party to this weekend the 6th, 7th and 8th.. Ok. I have plans all day on the 7th (mostly for that night) that I have had planned for weeks. My parents know this. They want to go up super early (6-7AM) on Sunday the 8th... Ok. My plans consist of massive alcohol consumption and being out until possibly 1 or 2 AM. I am NOT going to want to get up at 7AM, hungover to drive 3 hours for a birthday party for my grandfather (whom I can barely even call that). If he had actually cared about myself and my sisters growing up, maybe. If he had even cared about my father (his son) and my aunt (his daughter), maybe. But the fact that we saw him maybe once every 4 or 5 years and that he has never been around for us at all. NO! Sorry, just because I am not into your stupid feckin, damned religion doesn't mean I am a piece of dirt and deserve to be ignored.
My dad is all pissed at me because I am refusing to go.. Seriously!! This is the guy that has absolutely nothing to do with us, doesn't give a rat's ass about us and I am supposed to bend over backwards to go up for his birthday party.. HELL NO!!
My dad has now told me that I can call him and tell him that I am not coming because I will be hungover... Glad to do it!! I don't care if drinking is against his religion, he has never given a damn about us why should I care?
