last night my dad had a business meeting at 6:00pm. he was going out to dinner with his boss. my mom is really sick with the flu and needs a lot of help. we thought my dad would be back in 2-3 hours. once it was 9:00 we started to get worried something had happened because he wasnt back yet and he hadnt called to let us know what was taking so long or where he was. we called him a lot, and now my brother and i were getting scared something happened to him. we didnt hear from him until 12:00am. when he called he was mad at my mom for calling him so much! i think this is really rude of him that he was gone for 6 hours and didnt even to call to see how my mom was doing, or to let us know he would be out later than we thought. he says he never gave her a time and he told her he was going to a meeting therefore, he didnt do anything wrong. whats your oppinion on all this?

He is soooooo wrong!!!!! Bet he knows it too, he is not fooling me... Show him these answers and then ask him if he is really so lame that he didn't know he was wrong? He owes all of you an apology and he should beg for forgiveness....

considering your mom is feeling sick, I think your mom really was not doing any harm. You guys were only worried about why he didn't come back on time (especially since shes sick). I think its a bit disrespectful that he did not honor what he said. If it bothered him that much he could have picked up the phone and let you guys know. Its common that they displace the blame, because they either feel guilty or are too concerned at the moment with their priorities. More importantly did he say why he had to be out an extra 3 hours....?

It was rude to not call at least once, especially if he knew that you guys were calling him, what if there had been an emergency? Any boss would understand if a man says that his wife is sick with the flu at home, and he needs to call. All he had to do was step outside for a moment and call.
So you can tell him "I hope this meeting was important because otherwise you've lost our trust over nothing but dinner".

I agree that your dad is doing more than just having a business meeting and no matter how hard it might be I would ask him flat out Dad, what meeting last intill 12 a.m. I KNOW you were out last night with someone and if you cheating on mom you better tell me now. How could you stay out all night when she is so sick. Your dad may be angry at you at first but this will gain his respect because you are standing up for your family, and just maybe he will start to respect you guys a little better because he certainly doesnt if he pulled a stunt like this. (and if there is the slightest chance hes not cheating at least this way you will find out. No one likes confrontation, especially with their father. But you can still be respectful and stand up for your family.

Your mum is no where near been wrong for the fact that she was sick and you guys got worried and wanted to know what was up with,o dont see anything wrong.But that was rather rude of your dad he should have atleast seen reasons with you guys unless there was more to that his late night out than just meeting.

Considering that he knew that your mum wasn't well he should have called. However I think that there could be more to it than just a business meeting, because if it was why would he be mad at your mum for calling him, considering he knows that you mum isn't well.
If I were you I'd look out for signs, is he acting different than usually or being more secretive etc

If he does this quite a bit or starts to, he is having an affair with someone or fooling around. If he isn't, he is a jackass. When she is better she should do the same to him and see how he likes it. If it is only occasionally, 2 maybe 3 times a year he does this, then he is just enjoying himself, but it is still being disrespectful to your mom.

Your dad was rude no doubt.
but....
He was with his boss and subodinates often dont find time to inform home. He is busy to earn for all the family. He also deserve something...
You were right too, to think somthing has happened to him. This means that you love him, you care for him.
You are one fine, loving and caring family.
Just try to forgive each others mistakes...

Yes, it is rude and unthoughtful. But is this something he normally does? It may be that his meetings always go long and he just didn't think anything about it. Especially if he is a workaholic and always puts work before everything else.
