He promised we would go see SPAMALOT, WICKED, and PHANTOM OF THE OPERA on Broadway in new york when i got back from summer camp, so while i was there i told every one about it and asked about the plays. when i get home, it turns out we aren't going after all, and now i feel like a liar because I told all the people some thing that wasn't true. He could have written me and then I could have told everyone there had been a change in plans.

You explained your feelings very clearly, I think. Tell your dad the same thing, without getting dramatic. He probably didn't realize how it would affect you. You are not trying to hurt his feelings, but he hurt your feelings whether he meant to or not, so I think the two of you need to talk about it. It's not the end of the world, but your relationship will be better if you straighten this out.

If you only see these other people at camp I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. You might approach your Dad and explain to him you are kind of hurt that he didn't let you know of the change in plans. Tell him that you told all the other kids you were going and now you feel as though they might think you were bragging or lying.
10 - 1 he'll apologize and you can let it go.

tell your father you would like to talk... let him know how you feel...
"i feel disappointed because you didn't do the things you promised" "i feel as if i was neglected" "i feel badly because you didn't write to tell me you changed your mind" -- or however YOU feel....
the people you told won't think you are a liar. i'm sure they have parents too, and i'm sure their parents didn't follow through all of the time as well...
"EVERYONE ELSE" out in the world isn't important, and neither are their opinions. what YOU do and how you treat others is what is important.....
life isn't a competition to see how many places we go, or what we do. it's about THE PERSON INSIDE.
i hope that you will realize this, and not worry about what others think anymore.
i'm really sorry your dad disappointed you, as well. hugs

be nice, calm and patient. say "dad i really had my heart set on going to see these plays" find out why he changed his mind, see if he is ok, did something change while you were at camp? he is a person too, it's not so important that you told a bunch of people you were gonna see plays, make sure everything is alright at home, and i would worry more about spending time with him.

Honey....Maybe something came up...sometimes adults dont tell you the whole story because they dont want to hurt you or dont want you to worry. Im sure that he had intentions of taking you. Dont feel like a liar, simply tell people that something came up and your dad had to put it off for a while. Trust me, as a mom, sometimes I tell my kids we will do something and then it turns out that we cant...its a hard thing for a parent to tell their kids!
Hugs to ya!

You sound like you feel very entitled to a lot of things. If it was not possible for your father to take you, you have to accept that graciously. He has nothing to do with what you told your friends. You need to grow up a little. Talk with your father and tell him what your feelings are. Without blaming anyone. I'm sure he'll listen.
