Me and my dad can't stand each other. We both understand that, so it's mutual. We don't get in each others way or try to force things.
I hate my father, he is an irrational, formerly physically abusive, verbally abusive [which hurts more that the previous], extremely religious, fun-hating, misery-loving, lazy, pretentious, cheap, mean spirited bastard, who never took the time to get to really connect with me or teach me anything important about this world that he brought me into. Yet for some reason I still find myself living in his house, hopefully I can live on campus for grad school and get away from here.

Yea, my dad is very similar.
Some days he's a jackass looking to pick a fight for whatever reason, but other days, he's pretty cool to hang out with. He usually holds everyone in the family to double standards... he can do something, but my mom can't, and they usually fight over some trivial stuff.
My dad used to be great a few years ago when he was in the army, but ever since he retired four years ago and started as a truck driver, you have to be careful with what you say and make sure you don't say anything to slightly offend him. It's a bit annoying, but I do realize the stresses of a nearly 70 hour work week, but still.
For the most part, we get along though, it's just those few days that I dislike him.

I think this tells us more.......
imagine their shock when they realized they'd somehow given birth to a conservative/ republican supporter
I've always gotten along with my dad very well. My mother on the other hand, bleh.
My older brother is the reverse. Gets along with my mother and not so well with my father.

I don?t know the full extends of your relationship with your dad, but I have quite a rough relationship with my father when I was little.
My dad was an alcoholic and use to physically & mentally abuses me & my mother since I was 1 year old (I had to be taken to emergency at 1 year old when he threw me a against the wall because I was crying, there are many more incidents that my mother & I barely escapes death & was hospitalize due to the beating to our skulls with cable/chair/2x4 lumber/etc?). However, I would have like to confronted & make my peace with him before he die when I was 20 year old (for the first & only time that he addresses me as his son was 2 weeks before his death due to lung cancer, and he kindly asked me to take care of his family of 5 daughters & my mom, because he is being taking away early).
The conclusion to my rant is that?may be it is time for you to make your peace with your dad because you may be too late when you realize it.

My dad's a great guy, but I have a horrible relationship with him for reasons I don't really understand. We have never been *close*, but starting about when I was 16 or so we've really fell off. At times we would get into so many fights, and they would be so viscious that I have been kicked out of the house many times and my parents (who have been happily married for numerous years) were on the virge of getting a divorce. The very last time I was living at home I went almost 7 months living in the same house as him and we didnt't speak a single word to each other. 7 months living with someone without saying a word to them, that is how bad our relationship is. But like I said he is a great guy, we just really don't get along.
Sorry to hear that man. If it make things any better...I left home on my 16 birth day because my dad was going to stab me with a kitchen knife minutes prior (I'm still here thankfully to the gun law that we have in Canada. My mom and eldes sis stop my dad from stabing me so I can get my stuffs & get away from him).

Wow. Reading the posts in this thread make me very thankful that I have a wonderful relationship with both my parents, especially my dad.
Me and my dad never had any horrendous fights about anything, and certainly nothing physical. If we have a difference of opinion, we just walk away, cool off for a while, and everything is ok. We did father/son things when I was younger, like fishing, going to baseball/football games, camping, etc.
My parents made huge sacrifices for me and my brother though. Before I was born, they lived in the "black" part of town, which really didn't foster a good environment for children. They moved to the suburbs just before I was born, and they put me and my brother through private grade and high schools. They wanted better for me is what they say. They also got us very active in the church they attended, which gave me good moral standards. My dad even co-signed with me on my first car.
I don't ever think I can thank them enough for the sacrifices they have made for me and my brother. The only request he ever made was that when it was his time to go, I would be there for him. Needless to say, unless the world stops, I am going to fulfill that request.
Wow. I didn't expect for this post to get like this. Anyway, that's my story.
Btw, I'm 22.

my relationship with my father could be better but we don't hate each other or anything like that. we just don't have much in common and don't talk a whole lot. same with my mom. i dunno, i kind of feel like my family doesn't care because its like we never talk to each other or do anything together anymore. everyone is off doing their own thing.
Never met my father. The man my mom married while preg with me bailed out when I was 5. So I'm kinda clueless.
Nothing like not having any kind of frame of reference when raising your own kids. Sigh.
