Starting to annoy me!

[jimmymac]

Just had a phone call from my dad, haven't heard from him for 2 weeks since i had to go to his house because he couldn't work out his central heating programmer, here's how the conversation went

Dad: hi son

Me: hi dad

Dad: hows work?

Me: steady at moment, went quiet for a week but its ticking over

Dad: are you working this weekend?

Me: just saturday

Dad: i need you to fit my TV ariel on sunday if your not working

Me: i'm taking the kids out in the afternoon

Dad: you can do it in the morning then, also, does your mate still work at that garage?

Me: yes

Dad: I need some wipers for the car and i need the MOT next week so can you get that sorted for me?

Me: i'll ask him

Dad: i'll be working so you'll have to take it for MOT, anyway, i'll let you go now, see you sunday son

Me: just before you go dad, you gran-daughters are fine, thanks for asking

Dad: i knew they would be, see you sunday son

When did i stop being a person and just become a service for the family?

Does anybody else get this? Its starting to really get under my skin!

you need to take a step back and look again mate,he's your dad..

But it would be nice to be asked and not told, and the point is he only ring when he wants something

I know what you mean Alarm man but don't forget that Jimmy is a dad himself and wants to spend time with his kids when he is not working

I know your right in what you are saying, he's done alot for me. I just like to have a whine now and then to get it off my chest, its still really annoying though

as most of us are too..but thats not really a problem,maybe its a generation thing..i dont know..but in the future i'll be asking my kids for favours,and they better do it or its all going to the dog shelter..:drunk:

Mine can be like this but to be fair he is always there to give me a hand when I need it.

Im 22, i lost my dad when i was 19.. Wish i could have grown old to get these phone calls :/ think of how many years he had looking after you as you were young ! You will have it with your children when your older its just the way of life.. If your son/daughter became a lawyer for example and u needed a lawyer you'd go to them
