    Did you do something that you think your parents still blame you for?

    My parents house is full of books, nearly every wall has bookcases, including the stairway now :eek: and every month they organize them because they're constantly buying more. Because of that books often pile up until they are alphabetized by authors last name. When I was 8 I spilt Rubens in a stack of relatively rear psychology books, my dad only found the last one yesterday.

    He says he doesn't but I know he still blames me! Anything you've done you still feel blamed for?

    My dad still blames me for pulling the releases on the champagne he was brewing and ruining the batch, in 1988! And I didn't even do it!

    Time to tell him it wasn't Champagne he was 'brewing' and to get over it.

    Tried to clear the home pc of all it's problems about twelve years ago. I hadn't a clue and ended up deleting the family tree that my Dad had worked so hard on.

    My sister was born on the same day Munster beat the All Blacks. My dad hasn't forgiven her and never will

    On the other hand, no one cared about Munster during the 80s.

    So she must have had a good 10 or 20 years until the 2000s and some play written during the Celtic Tiger, when suddenly it became a Really Big Deal.

    To be fair, it was a genuine logistical mistake. Out of my hands

    Yep, my mother still blames me for her and my dad not splitting up 30 years ago. Dafuq was she thinking asking a sick 12 year old kid who she wanted to live with:confused: She should have made that decision herself and left if she wanted to.:mad:

    Dont worry. There was 775,000 people in the stadium that day. Not the 12,000 the stadium could hold.

    In those days it shouldn't have mattered, he would have gone to the game anyway and seen your sister the day after, hardly would have scared her for life.

    Ask him if he honestly, genuinely thought that Munster had a hope of beating them that day, that he wouldn't have gone to the match regardless.

    I was a bad little shít as a child/teen. At home when something bad happened i'd always get the blame

    It didn't matter and that story has ex post facto attribution of importance to it.

    As you said, back in the 70s many fathers skipped births anyway. And no one, no one would blame their child for missing it because at the time it wasn't imbued with the significance that all the new fans of rugby attach to it. In the 80s and 90s, no one really remembered it as affectionately as the new wave of Munster rugby fans do. I mean, one man and his dog went to most of the Munster games during the 80s and 90s. They just...didn't...care.

    As an adult you are being blamed for something you did aged 8, your parents house is stuffed with book which they constantly sort out and they keep adding too ?

    Supposedly I cost them a years childrens allowance of something being born after the end of the tax year.

    No, like I said he doesn't blame me necessarily, but I feel like he blames me , I suppose it's more to do with the fact that I would blame me. Yes it is. They read a lot. Like all the time and my dad switches books out between our home and his office based on the patients he's seeing. So their books are in constant rotation and then there's new journals and editions that replace old ones.
