Everyday during dinner, my dad would be the last on the dinning table, claiming he's tired, not hungry or for whichever reason he'd just wait for most of us to get started before digging in. He'd even wait for me to be home if there's just both of us for dinner.
So even at the dinning table, he'd simply pinch on the dishes I'd less favour, the fact that I have no specific preference over dishes, except well, MEAT (Am a 101% carnivore). At my age, 25, a quarter century old, which makes him a good 55? He's still doing it. He loves us and that's the only few ways he knows how to show his love for us. I appreciate it and I understand where he's coming from but he has got to stop and start appreciating life, life as a father with 2 grown up children, accepting that the has the right to be pampered by his children and it is his right to be treated this way.
The mom has seen light and has done the right thing in "exploiting" the kids haha. Still she tries her best to provide the best that she could, be it our house cleanliness to the quality and variety of food on the table.
Much has went on for the past few years, the darker years have passed and seemingly the family's in a much better shape Financially. We've grown much closer and I'm enjoying the family meals with both my folks around and occasions spare time spent with my old man.
During his golden era, we had all the money in the world, but I never had much time spent with him. After which I grew up, in a relationship and family became secondary ...
I do miss my other family too :)
