What should i do?

[coach]

I told my dad at the beginning of the year that i would work for him on friday afternoons. Something came up and he let e off the first friday and i told him that will probably be the last friday i miss. I found out this week that i have a basketball tourney with the Relentless Penetration on Friday. My dad will be pissed at me if i tell him i cant come in. On the other hand if i do come in then our team wont be able to play and eagles victory will lose 20 dollars and i made a commitment to him that i would play on the team. When we originally signed up we had games on wednesday but now i have a games this friday...So downlow family what should i do???

work for my dad or help lead the RP to victory???

Im going to dissapoint someone who would it be?

Why don't you just explain the situation to your dad maybe he'll surprise you and give you Friday off. :)

If not, then RP will have to do without you. Don't want to disappoint dad.

You swear you are any good at basketball anyways.

Agree. You gave your word first to your job. Have to honor prior commitments.

First tell Dad the name of your team...

Dad should understand after that.

I understand that circumstances change, but here is my opinion. First you obligated yourself to two different situations. One is a "Job" and the other is a "recreational" activity. Forget the job is for your dad. "You" took the job.

Now, Hypothetical thought:thinking: If you get into a $$$ crunch who are you going to go to for financial assistance. "Dad" or the boys from Relentless Penetration? Be honest with yourself!

I don't know your dad but in my opinion he and the job he gave you should come first. Also, in my opinion when you first found out about the schedule change you should have come out right then and there and said " Hey guys, if it's on Friday, "I'm out" because I have to work on Fridays. If you can't get the game rescheduled then you will to find someone else". If their true friends they will understand, but I sounds like by holding off you may have put them in a bad situation too and yourself in a bad situation with your dad.

Just be open and honest, you will never go wrong!
Good Luck

[Trashman]

Your Dad has seen you through a life time. He should come first, take it from someone who blew it years ago. :( I promise you won't regret it.

Don't see my old man often, but you can tell he enjoys it when we hang out! Gotta take him to his first Cowboys game some time soon! I imagine I'll have the chance when I'm up in Denton next year :)

I think you just answered your own question. He NEEDS you.

He wont be around forever. Go give the old man a hand. Some day you'll wish had if you dont.

[Phantom Stang]

I'm sorry for your situation growing up, but he's still your Dad! At least half of your basketball buddies won't even know your name 10 years from now.

You said Friday is his busiest night. I'd be willing to bet he needs that business to keep the store open. If he's swamped with customers, people will probably get impatient and walk out without buying anything or worse yet, stick stuff in their pockets without paying for it.

As Stang Red said, he won't be around forever. Believe me, I know all about that.:(
