Manipulation


While trying to convince my Dad to give her a ride to my house, which is 1 hour and 20 minutes away, Candice laid on a guilt trip and the conversation took a ridiculous turn.

Dad- "That's 40 minutes out of my way."

Candice-"C'mon, I thought kindess was what our family was about!"

Me- "Really?"

Candice- "Nah."

MY POOR DAD is giving her the ride. He's a good Dad.

"My professional life has been centered on the home, the well being of the family and everything that these subjects encompass. When I began working in this area more than 25 years ago, the subject of homemaking as it relates to families was largely overlooked, though the interest was clearly broad and the desire for information strong. My colleagues and I soon discovered we were satisfying a deeply felt unmet need."
