Feeling rather angry - Rant alert!

Sucks a bit, sorry

I'd have said "I'll use half of the money you're going to give to book you a flight then so you can be here for our wedding because we'd really like you to be here" and see what his response was.

Well that was his reason for giving us double was half was it would cost to come back and then go back to the boat!

Try not to take it personally. I wonder if it was his way of venting his disappointment at missing it?? Some people don't know how to vocalise their feelings well.

But it is his choosing to miss it..... its his boat and he goes out april to september every year..... i just feel it is more a case of cant be bothered!

Why can't he just put it off a bit then go to his precious boat :/ Or go earlier so he can come back earlier for your wedding. My Dad goes to Thailand every single year for the month of November.. my wedding is booked for November, now I'm worried he'll do the same as your Grandad lol!

On a seperate note, my Grandad wont be coming to my wedding, he wont get an invite as he hasn't bothered to talk to me in 20 years, as far as I'm concerned, I have no living Grandfathers.

I feel your pain, my Nan isn't coming if her dog is still alive. Feels great that I'm less important than a dog (don't get me wrong, I love dogs - but really). Try not to let it make you feel too angry xx

Lol what?! Crack open the rat poison!

Doesn't half make you feel unloved though!

Don't tempt me! Nah, I get that her dog is important. But when she told me, and I cried, she was shocked how upset I was!

Definitely! xx

Oh my goodness, I'd be so upset if my grandfather couldn't come. He's 92 years old in just over a month and still flies to the USA to see mum & dad, and to Switzerland to see me at Christmas. We all fly back regularly to see him.

Guess some grandads just aren't the same way... Don't fret lovelygirl, sounds like you have your values in place.

It was more the trying to buy me off that really got my goat! It makes me out to be a right money grabbing ***** is that who he thinks i am????

Have had a good cry with H2b and has said if i want grandad blanked for christmas, he is quite happy to do so! bless him - just feeling really sad about it, If my grannies or my great aunt his sister were alive they would be chomping at the bit to get there.... and this morning i was so happy to have a wedding date again

Tell him (despite you likely needing the extra cash - like most of us here) that he can stick his money, if you cant have him there, you don't want his 'replacement'. Money can't replace a loved one and tell him at his age surely he would know this.

ps, if i were you i would've had a major rant xx

I already went down the line of inheritance is not a human substitute and most people me included would much rather have there loved ones there! I think i shall just leave it alone until i see him at christmas.
