IMPORTANT: PLEASE I NEED YOUR INPUT ON THIS

Ok, so kylie's parents gave us packer tickets on sunday. Cool right. My original plans for the weekend were to visit my dad on saturday and drag kylie along for a day in GB. So, I think, now that we have tickets for sunday, why don't we go to my dads saturday afternoon, do whatever, and spend time with my dad, then at night, just spend the night at my dads. The game is at noon, so we wouldn't have to get up early to get there for pre game activities, AND, we wouldn't have to pay for parking because my dad could give us a ride.

SO, I ask kylie what she thinks, she thinks its a great idea, and goes to ask her dad. He says "You shouldn't be doing those types of things, you can't spend the night."



Then two minutes later he sells the tickets to someone else.


Do you think this was a rational move? He gave us those tickets for us to use, we asked a simple question, which he could've said no to, but then he goes and sells the tickets.

I'm confused and angered and I don't know how to react to her dad now next time i meet him.

Sorry if this sounds like a Dear Anne letter in the Herald Times but I'm pissed and I'm speechless and I need people to agree with me.

No, that was highly irrational for him to do that. How could the idea of you bringing her home right after the game not even pass through his mind?

Whatever the case is, its obviously too late to do any sort of productive arguing and the Packers probably aren't going to win, anyway.

i don't think he hates me, but maybe

well, that was pretty stupid of her dad. sure, my parents were nervous when i was spending the night at Richard's dad's house in Chicago, but they made calls to each other to check that our plans were valid and we wouldn't be sleeping together or whatever at then all was well.
i think you should make your concerns known to kylie, and she can deal with her as she sees fit. whenever i get upset with richard's parents, i let him know and he explains things to me or tries to rationalize with them or drop subtle hints that they're being dumb, and i do the same if richard gets upset with my parents...meh, nothing is as simple as i'm trying to make it sound. parents are annoying, and can be the worst stressor in a relationship, especially at our age.

It could've been worse. What if he didn't sell them and just when you went to pick them up, he ate them right in front of you. Imagine that.

I needed braces. like 10 years ago. :(

i had braces a long time ago...good thing too, you never had too see my horrible buck teeth. except Richard, who knew me then.

We dont party, you dork.

i saw Saving Private Ryan the other night and now i've figured out the number one way i DO NOT want to die...for the sake of keeping the whatever integrity this thread has left i'll shut up right now.

Oh, and here's what u do about that parent:
Find out everything about him(where he works, what he eats, friends, family, etc) and, when he's least expecting it, either publicly humiliate him to the point of where he cries in front of his boss, family, and friends, OR strip something very precious away from him and send him the pieces via mail...works every time.

don't take me so seriously all the time.
