This afternoon, while I was still at work, our eldest daughter (my stepdaughter) called me and sued her father.
What's going on? Here's the thing.
This year I recommended a job for my eldest daughter that suits her, she works very hard and does a good job, no, it's going to be the New Year, she wants to invite us to eat firewood turkey tonight, because she is going to her mother's place for the New Year this year, so she invited us to have a reunion dinner in advance.
Before, she discussed with us and wanted the second aunt's family to eat together, and she said that the second aunt usually treats her well. Of course this is good, a child who knows how to be grateful. There are 5 people in my second aunt's family, plus 3 in our family (my daughter can't come overtime. Eight people in total.
That's the plan.
As a result, my father made his own decision and invited the son and grandson of my aunt's family, a total of 5 people. When the eldest daughter found out, she was very angry and felt that her father had disrupted her plan, so she sued me.
I asked her about the original tail and told her that first of all, my father did not do it right on his own initiative. Secondly, things have changed and you are not consulted and you are caught off guard. Then, this matter is yours and your decision should be respected.
So the thing has happened, and now the focus is on how to solve the problem, in order to punish Dad's behavior, let Dad pay for the extra table fee.
My suggestion made the eldest daughter's mood suddenly change from cloudy to sunny, the emergency was solved, and the dinner party in the evening was ...... as scheduled
Written in the last words: I think that when children grow up, parents should learn to respect their children, empathize with their children, don't make decisions for them privately, and don't abuse their authority in front of their children. Dare to say sorry in front of your child.
