It is very reasonable to be annoyed. I would be.

I think he just thinks that your ok with it, all you need to do is just put him aside and just discuss it with him, it dont have to be a war fare or a blood bath, all you need to do is talk to him, alone and tell him whats up, tell him that it bothers you everytime you want to do things in a timely manner, and it doesnt work out for you because he is always late, tell him that you would like him to try to be a bit more responsable when it comes to your things, tell him that maybe you think you deserve it, and that you apologyze if you hurt his feelings but that is how you feel and that you thought he deserved to know, because you feel that bondness between the two of you
That will melt him and it will work like a sharm. Dont raise your voice and try to stay calm.
Good luck, and remember, all you need is communication, because what other reason do you have a mouth for, right, heh.
Take care. Hope my advise helps a bit.

You totally have the right to be all sorts of upset! But at the same token, he's your dad-and you should respect him at least he is making an effort to do something for you. Some "dads" could care less

well if what he got caught up in is work related, the no. Everything he does at work benifits you, even if you dont quite see that. but if it is just chillin with his friends, then talk to him and say that normally daughters come before friends...or something like that making him know that you feel hurt, but not to mad.

I would say it might be in your best interest to find another way to practice if Dad is unreliable.

dont be mad at him, just sit him down and tell him its really important to you and you would really like it if he showed more interest in it. and love your dad while you have him no matter what he will always be your daddy

you don't have to be mad. just tell him that you love him and understand that he he has lot's to do. you really love it that he wants to be with you often. but he has to make sure that when he makes a promise, he has to keep it.

talk to him and see what's up, but don't be quick to judge or overreact.
