I just received a phone call from my 14 year old daughter(yes, she needs money). She wanted to know if she could have money to buy a semi formal dress.
Let’s see, how should I phrase how I answered this. She asked for 100 dollars, I asked if she had even looked yet for the dress. I talked to her mom and told her to go find one, and then tell me how much. Basically, I just said don’t kill me. In other words, make my baby look good. Actually, tomorrow I’m going to call the X and tell her I’ll pay for the dress(make her look good), the shoes, and get her hair done. I’ll transfer the money to her account when I find out how much.
I live about 360 miles from my daughter. I moved here to be with Laura(my better half), and to get out of a job I hated. I took my retirement. With my current contract that I am working under, I am financially better off then I ever have been. Hell, I even have a savings. The company that I am working for is most likely going to offer me a job if they can. Which I want, because I need the health benefits(sucks to get old).
Now to the question:
[b]I WANT TO SEE MY DAUGHTER GO TO THIS FORMAL[/B] really, really bad.
1). The formal is the 20th of the month, is it to late to ask for this time off. Fk it, I don’t care about the money(I won’t get paid for the time off). But, I don’t want to screw up a future job opportunity.
2). Will I make my daughter uncomfortable. Ie, the proud dad with camera and tears in his eyes.
Yea, ok. You all found my soft spot. But, I would like some insight here.
