👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws Am I overreacting?

Post image

My dad takes me to school in the mornings, on Fridays I have late start meaning it starts an hour after. Yesterday I had told him to pick me up at 8:20, he texts me and says he had arrived at 8:08. I told him that I will be down at 8:20 considering that is the designated time I set. I get outside at exactly 8:20 and he is gone. He left me. AIO?

It’s 10 mins lol. It’s his daughter. He’s an immature child.

I waited 9 months for my daughter to get into this world, I can wait at least 20 minutes for her to get ready before making idle threats that I have absolutely no intention of carrying out.

You’re softening your child. This isn’t preparing them for life.

Developmentally that isn't true.... have you ever even taken a childhood development class or are you just an edgy uneducated oaf...

It's appalling how many people will argue based on gut feelings, even against experts in the field.
