Anyone else have this dilema---or just me?

So I'm having fun last weekend hanging out with friends and company and we're just kickin' back at the end of dinner when I get a phone call. "Hello"..."Hey there. haven't talked to you in a while!" With a perk in my voice that matches no other person who calls me. It's my dad. He doesn't usually call me, oh once in a while if all my calls home have hit when he's asleep or at work. But for the most part we keep in touch via mom, or if I specifically call when I think he'll be the one to answer. So he tells me his plan. He is calling me and my sister who lives in Atlanta and requesting that we make it home for mother's day. He then adds to the pressure that we've done stuff for his birthday 2 times and have not done anything "special" for mom in years and he wants to do something for her by having all of us there.

Since my sister and I had already talked about needing to do something for mom soon, this presented an opportunity. So without pause I told my dad he could count on me and if sis needed any additional "push" I would do my best! We were going to try to meet there memorial day anyway. But here's the before mentioned dilema....I couldn't help but think about what my sis and I have talked about. We can tell our mom no on things, our husbands, and even our children...but when dad calls we become "his little girls" eager to please! We have actually said before that even if he requests the impossible we'd still try to accomplish it! Now, I know this works both ways, mom is pretty quick to say no to us--or at least she sticks to reality, but dad has always given the impression that he'd move mountains for us if that's what we needed. So maybe it's because our personalities are more like his when it comes to things like that, maybe it's because if someone else gives you want to give back. But for what ever reason our plans shifted and no longer will I be in Indiana for Memorial day, but I will be there for Mother's day!
