How petty can you get

So I usually cook every night and if not I wash up. Well the other night I was absolutely knackered and I ended up going to bed at about 9pm without washing up when my dad had made dinner. I also left some cups out in the lounge. So next morning (Monday) my dad tells me that his girlfriend said that I was being disrespectful for not washing up... it was like one time and I was well tired. So anyway I let that go, last night I wasn't feeling great and just wanted to get to bed so I didn't wash the pots again but I said i'd do it today, which I did. But my dad came home at lunch time, and I asked him if he could wash up 1fork, and his answer was no... and i was like its one fork, and i always wash up his breakfast bowl and spoon if he has it and im off, so that really annoyed me. He used to be real laid back and didnt used to care until 3months ago when he met his girlfriend, im so mad at him that im seriously thinking about ringing my mum and asking her if theres anything she can do. Its like he doesn't care about me that much anymore since he got his girlfriend and its quite upsetting. I mean I used to hug my dad like at least twice a week and now I havent hugged him for about 3weeks

I'm sorry Tiger. I think the best thing to do would be to sit down with your dad and possibly his gf also and just have a serious family talk. Tell them how your feeling and then listen to there side also. A lot of people are like that when they get a bf/gf idk why but the bf/gf just becomes more important with some people. Not saying your dad doesn't love you. I'm sure he does but he just might be losing track of who is more important in his life. Hope everything gets better!! And remember I'm always here if you need to talk about anything!

You definitely have to talk to him. Not with his girlfriend around, at least not yet. See where you get. As a father, he can NOT just put his girlfriend in front of you. Ever. If things don't go right, I would talk to your mom next /:

I can't stress how important talking to him is! (like the others stated xD) My boyfriends dad was the SAME way. He used to be so laid back. Him and Brian hung out all the time and any time Brian needed help with anything his dad would jump right to it and help him. About three years ago his dad got remarried to this woman that he met online and only knew for about three months. Brian HATES her. When you first meet her, shes sweet, then she just turns sour. Kind of like a sour patch kid but reversed xD Anyways, his dad wouldn't help him with anything. Started fussing at him a lot. None of his dads family likes the woman and hates being around her. She's rude, she lies, and she's lazy. She made Brian do the dishes, do the clothes, wash her truck, everything. She sold his chevy, so his dad bought him a new ford, then she took that away from him too. Eventually he moved in with me and has been living here ever since. His whole family hates his step mom.. Well before we moved to Arkansas, Brian called his dad at least four times wanting to see him and spend time with him. Just him and his dad like the old days. Well his dad PROMISED that he would and Brian was SO excited! Well the day came and his dad said "I can't this weekend. Wanda (step mom) needs me to mow the back yard so she can get down to the water" (They live on the lake). Brian was so upset he just said "Kay" and hung up. He almost cried. Well Wanda texted him saying "You need to come clean your room" and Brian said "For one. Its not my room anymore since I don't live there, For two, why is their dog crap all in "my room" all over my stuff???" His dad called and was like "You need to loose the attitude and not talk to her that way again. we will hang out my next days off or something" and hung up on brian. well brian texted his dad and was like "i wont be here your next days off" and his dad said "well im sorry then" and brian was goin to just drop it. I made him text his dad and tell him how he felt. he told his dad how he hated wanda from the day he met her and how he's the only family member that will actually go see him and spend any time over there because they all hated her and couldnt stand to be around her. He told his dad that wanda pushed his whole family away from him so that it was just him and her family and thats how she wanted it and that if his dad ever wanted to see him again he would make an effort and wanda would not be involved. his dad immediately called and they talked it over and now they go spend time together and go see each other every off day that his dad has just the two of them and sometimes brians brothers and uncle tag alone. Even brians grandmother will go see his dad now.. talking solves a lot of things and if you EVER need someone to talk to just PM me ill be glad to talk till you feel better =D
