Man Misses Grandson's Birthday for an Event at His Girlfriend's Church — Now His Daughter Is Mad

"Back when I informed him of the date, he told me he'd come," the woman writes of her dad

A woman whose son recently turned 1 year old says her own dad missed the birthday party — because he was at a church event with his girlfriend instead.

In an anonymous post shared to Reddit, the woman writes that she and her husband confirmed the date of the party with their guests — including her dad — months ago.

"Back when I informed him of the date, he told me he'd come," she writes in the post.

But a few days before the party, "he asked if there was any way for me to reschedule it," she adds.

"I said no, as we'd already confirmed everything with the venue. My father then told me he'd be late to the party because there was an event at his girlfriend's church on the same day, and she wanted him to attend," she writes.

While she says her dad isn't particularly religious, she notes in the post that his girlfriend is, and he largely attends church "to make her happy."

She adds that she told her father she was okay with him being late, "as long as he came to the party at some point."

And while her dad initially said he'd come to the party once the church event was over, he texted her during the event and said his event was still going.

"He thought 'it would be in poor taste' for him to leave early, so he probably wouldn't be able to come [to the birthday party]," the woman writes of his text. "I didn't hear from him again that day."

Days later, her dad called to explain. "He didn't apologize, but asked if I was angry at him, and I said yes," she writes, adding, "I told him he still chose to prioritize an event he didn't even want to attend over his grandson's first birthday party, made several other choices that led him to completely miss the latter, and didn't inform me about any of that until the last minute."

Now, her father is "refusing to apologize, and insists I have no right to be angry over something he had 'no control over.' "

"I'm starting to feel odd about this. My husband is on my side, but my sister told me I'm being dramatic," the woman writes.

Reddit commenters say the woman's father "made his choice," and seems to be prioritizing his girlfriend over his grandson.

"You seriously do not need to soothe his feelings," writes one commenter. "Say to him clearly once more, 'I’m upset you chose to miss the party. Why you missed it is beside the point. It’s not like you were in the ER with a ruptured spleen after a massive car wreck. You were with your gf. Period.' "

Another commenter echoed those sentiments, writing, "It's understandable to be disappointed in him and upset that he made the choices he's made. It's very possible he'll do this again in the future."
