She does these things cause she wants votes for something or selling something later on . It's manipulation true and trueI'd get emotional about my own dad too when I actually manage to stop and think acknowledge all that he does for me. I'm at an age where see alot of friends loosing one or both parents so I know I am incredibly lucky to have both of mine around too. My kids are very close to them too and I dread the day anything happens to them as the kids would find it hard to cope
