Dad, is a bit put out right now.
When sis lived in NT, he had the granddaughter all to himself, and our mum got phone calls and the rare occasional visit. (Just because of distance and money constraints).
Now my sis is in Queensland, an hour’s drive from mum, and 2 hours drive from dad. As a result, the granddaughter is spending more time with her grandmother and great grandparents. As a result my dad has his nose seriously out of joint.
Sis is 37 weeks pregnant, and has arranged for mum to be on hand to look after granddaughter when sis goes into labour. Dad is doing his darndest to hijack that plan … including booking his car to be serviced on her due date, and expecting to come stay for the weekend, and then announcing that he will be taking granddaughter to Brisbane for that weekend.
My sis, as you would expect …… is having none of that. And so he is winding her up more and more.
My poor sis, she already has blood pressure problems, and the pregnancy is wearing her down, and being close to term, she is emotional and fragile. And I am a long way away, and not able to help that much.
if he keeps his rot up though ….. he will get another seriously severe phone call from me ….. and it won’t be a happy one.
