Ritual

Tweet

Friday night is normally the night to enjoy for most people. However, if you have a rigid ritual on Friday night, ie. always take your elderly father out for dinner (mind you this is what he is looking forward to every day of the week), do you feel guilty about it if your friends ask you to go out clubbing with them and have to tell the old fella "sorry i'll make it up next week". I do as it has happened a couple of times before. He hasn't got long to live and have mobility difficulty. Friday night is really what he is waiting for, time with me, time that he can go out, and time to have someone real closed to talk to. Now, unless it is an unavoidable business arrangement, I always turn down friends invite on a Friday night. Now they think I am a weido, or mental. May be I do blame them as why the heck that I spend time with my old dad instead of drinking, chatting, enjoying, and pulling girls in the clubs. So please, can anyone tell me whether I am a bit too old fashion? and I should go out more. Please note that it is not possible for me to do this on another night.
