My dad sucks!

tasha41 · Dec 11th, 2008, 14:07 PM

Had my 4D ultrasound today and went to show my dad the pictures, and he didn't even look, just asked why we'd get that.

He's worked in literally every area of diagnostic imagery (MRI, ultrasound, CT, and x-ray) and has just settled into a management position in CT and still can't fathom why we wasted money on this lol.

Not sharing any more details with him I guess! I mean I'm almost 26 weeks I thought he would have gotten used to this by now or started to get a LITTLE bit excited..

Didn't even bother telling him baby is a girl.

Anyone else have a stupid dad?!

LOL well I wouldn't call say my parents are stupid BUT they are old fashioned and think it is silly for people to spend the money on all these different types of scans. My parents are very excited about being grandparents but still like to give us their input when they feel we have spent to much on a certain item! When my mom found out how much I spent on the stroller she nearly crapped her pants and lectured me for HOURS about how when she had us as babies the stroller cost 10$, blah blah blah lol I just tell my parents "Yes I know but times have changed and unfortunately things have gotten pricey over the years!"
I know if we were to get a 4D scan my parents would just go on and on about how that 200$ could have been spent on other baby items and whatnot..I'm used to it and just laugh it off. Hopefully he was just being "fatherly" and old fashioned!

When my Dad found out i was pregnant with Mollie i was 16, My mam told him and he sat in the living room with me for 1 whole hour and then got up and left. He never spoke to me again till Mollie was 1 yrs old

I accepted this and got over it, but when my sister told him she was pregnant with his 2nd Grandaughter she was 19 he bought her 12 red roses.

I will say this as honestly as i can, please enjoy the remainder of your pregnancy. Dont worry bout your Dad has said, life is too short, My dad dint speak to me for 18 months and tbh it was his loss not mine. I got to enjoy my pregnancy with my Mum who was there every step of the way.

Congrats on the

bump.

Could just be cause he's a man! Don't forget that

When I was pg with my son I wanted to do 3d ultrasound. Now I knew we didn't have the money but it was one of those dream things right? Tell my fiance about it and he says "why would we waste money on that?"

Same with this one I want to have the 3d and he's basically like why bother.

But believe me he is beyond excited for this baby and was for the last one too!

Thank you this is exactly how I feel.. don't talk to him about any of it because I know he's mad at me still deep down and acts like he doesn't care because he doesn't agree with what I'm doing.

No problem...My mom seems fine with it now, shes happy.. She always tells me that my dad will get over it.. But I dont want him just to get over it, i want him to be happy for me..Is your mom happy for you?
