My father finally proposed to his "lady friend" last year after 25 years (!!) together of off-and-on living together (and they, too, won't be getting married anytime soon I don't believe). While he actually remembered to tell me they were engaged, I have countless stories where he has forgotten to mention to pass along some information (um, first cousin needing a transplant? Check!)<BR/><BR/>And I won't offer up apologies or excused on behalf of the dad. Seriously. They are grown ups - get with it already.b*babblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494191160073990465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-42272315361993071062008-01-02T17:03:00.000-05:002008-01-02T17:03:00.000-05:00Oh Mrs. Chicky, I would be angry and hurt too.

Why would you keep something joyous to yourself or treat it as something mundane?

No matter how much we expect them to happen at some point or are in theory okay with it? it still twists a little. I couldn't believe how upset I was when my parents finally divorced, even though it was all expected and for the best and yadda yadda. Still, it was a blow.

He's just trying to spare your feelings and probably his own, too.<BR/><BR/>I hope you find some way to give him the thumbs up.

He pulls stuff like this all the time - but can't wait to tell us the boring, unimportant crap that we couldn't care less about. Like, he was going to sell my husband's childhood home? We overheard him telling someone at a dinner party. But he saw a weird bird in the yard? Ten minute dissertation. I hear you.
