Do inconsiderate parents get a pass because they’re your blood?

Some people feel like the answer should be yes, but in reality, more and more folks are realizing their peace is more important than playing nice.

See what one Redditor goes through with a father who doesn’t seem to bother with much.

Read the Reddit post below to learn more.

AITA: For NOT INVITING MY DAD TO ANYTHING?

My mom and dad married and had my brother, but two years after that my mom got pregnant again.

My dad was pretty stuck on the thought of only having one child, but my mom didn’t mind two.

So, my mom kept the baby (me). My dad was not very happy with my mom’s choice and that even caused their divorce.

In case it’s not clear, this Redditor’s made the breakdown much easier to understand.

So, just to sum stuff up, my dad didn’t want me, and [even] today he still likes and spoils my brother more. So when it comes to gifts, I always get less.

Or incredibly inconsiderate gifts such as…

I know it’s probably the thought that counts, but for my 16th birthday he got me a necklace with someone else name on it.

I thought maybe the necklace place made a mistake but he said “No, that’s how its supposed to be…”

And the reason for the wrong name will have you rolling.

I got really mad at my dad because he later on said that the name on the necklace was his new girlfriend (soon to be wife)’s name.

He handed my brother a big banner with the words WILL YOU MARRY ME and said, “Hold it up high.”

Yep, he really did that…on this daughter’s birthday.

Honestly, [I] was shocked that he would use my day to ask his girlfriend to be his wife.

After the whole marry situation, I waited for my real gift, but never received anything.

(He took the necklace and gave it to her).

So, this Redditor isn’t exactly champing at the bit for some precious father-daughter time.

So til today, I don’t invite him to any school functions or birthdays, etc.

AITA

Does Reddit think she should give him another chance? Let’s read the comments below.

People let it be known that just because he’s technically your father doesn’t mean he is.

Others simply questioned why she was feeling guilty at all.

And one Redditor said, “NTA,” but that he probably had no clue what he did in the first place.

This child of divorce doesn’t need to care for a parent who shows none for her.

This dad gives dads a bad name.
