Not Fair

Today Sir's middle child announced to him that she wishes to come back with us when we go home from her place after her sisters surgery.

A matter of a few weeks time she wishes to come move in.

Sir said he wishes me to call and talk her out of coming. That things are just now in the process of being settled. That he does not want to sound like the big meanie saying no, not right now. Before I could even think about it out came "So you want me to sound like the meanie?!" He told me no its just that he does not want her angry with him for giving her 'an excuse' when it's the truth. He does want her down just now isn't the time. I didn't say anything for a long bit. He said.. hello? And i asked.."So you would rather her hate me for getting in the way of her moving in?"

End story... I'm to call and discuss with her why now is not such a good time and perhaps we can re discuss this in the fall.

Thing is.. i love her to pieces. We had such a good visit. Now he wants me to tell her this after only meeting her once?!

I'm sorry.. and i know its wrong.. but i feel like I'm being put in the middle. I'm sorry if i don't want to be hated for the gal who got in the way of me moving to dad's. Why is not right now coming from her father not good enough? Being told no from him for me ONCE is good enough.

All this because her mom is on her case about doing something during the day hours instead of sitting around the house all day long. She's 18... she SHOULD be doing something during the day. Her mom isn't picky about what... just something to occupy her time. And because they are fighting she wants to move up.

UGH

This is SO not gonna be nice. I'm not looking forward to it at all....

I know this is an M/s issue in that you are supposed to follow orders, but I have to agree with you on it. It is putting you in the middle and it will cause hard feelings from her to you. No way should you look like the bad guy. The issue of her moving in should (NEEDS) to be decided on and talked about with the biological parent.

And having said that... I totally get the whole obedience thing. This one sucks.
