God, can't my dad make anything besides freakin' potatoes and meat. It's always the same damn thing, mashed potatoes and meat. Then he says "You like this kind of meal?" then I say "it's alright." He thinks he is making something super good, when he is the only one who likes it, and everyone has to either suffer through eating it or make something for themselves. Then if my mom makes dinner and he is the only one that doesn't like it he throws a huge fit and about cries, throws stuff around and then eats it and screams how he has to work all day and come home to crap. What a little b!tch crybaby. Looks like I will have to make myself nachos for dinner.

My mom went away for a week on business or something.. We had spaghetti with tomato sauce for 3 days straight.. My dad is a pasta freak. At Olive Garden, he takes advantage of the all you can eat pasta bowl.

I will be buying and making my own food in a couple of weeks. He always hurts my moms feeling because he screams at her everytime he comes home about how the food she made is crap. He even complains if my mom makes spagetti and doesn't use a certain type/size of noodle. He has thrown knives in the wall before because the food wan't to his liking. He can be a major @ss sometimes.

So then obviously the food isnt the real issue here....

BD2003; Grow up, and stop crapping the thread.

If you don't like what's said in the thread, or arn't interested in the topic, then click your back button and leave. No one asked you to be here, and no one's forcing you to stay. :|

ScottyB; ignore BD2003, egotistal morons like him make me sometimes wish that Anandtech had an ignore list.

It sounds like your dad never grew up and is not too bright. WTF does he think he's doing throwing knives?! Someone could get seriously hurt from that stupid sh|t. At least you won't have to deal with his crap, anymore, after a few weeks. I feel sorry for your mom thou...but there's little you can do; you can't fight her battles for her, and you can't help her unless she wants your help. :frown:

There are two ways to live life.

1) Expect others to change for you
2) You change to adapt to other's needs as well as your own.

Choosing 2 doesn't mean you are laying down your morals, it just means you need to give a little to get a little.

This isn't a thread crap, it just seems like I don't agree with your statement. Put yourself in your father's shoes, and try to understand where he is coming from. I think moreso I am frustrated that I never got along with my father and we don't have that close of a relationship as a result of this. I hate to see this happen to anyone else, try to calmy tell him how you feel. You will thank yourself for it when Daddy isn't there anymore.

Your dad is an ass. Get out of the house as soon as possible and do your darndest not to end up like him.
If he makes that huge a deal out of food, god forbid something BAD should happen. :Q

I didnt crap the thread. I disagreed with him. Wtf is wrong with that? I didnt know I wasnt allowed to post in a thread if I didnt wholeheartdly agree and support the original poster. If he doesnt like whats for dinner, he can fix something for himself.

Then he starts talking about knives being thrown, and all I say is "Obviously the food isnt the issue." Which is the quick and dirty was of saying what you said.

Of course dont you dare disagree with me, because that would be crapping.

Cook dinner for them yourself. Get a George Foreman grill, a wok, and some groceries. Follow the recipe and make small portions initially. Get used to it and make bigger portions.

ScottyB: Stating the obvious here, but your dad has serious mental issues that go far, far beyond what kinds of foods he prefers. No normal, sane person throws knives in the wall when they don't like what they're eating. Your mom is probably a lost cause, but if I were you, I'd get yourself out of that house and out of that situation before something seriously bad happens to you.

This reminds me of the scene in that movie from a few years ago where Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes were crossdressers, and this girl's husband was beating his wife because she added seasoning to the spaghetti..

Your pops is a mental case. Run and don't look back. Try to convince your mom to leave the psychopath while you're at. What an ass...knives in the wall? Does he hurt anyone?

Your Dad is an ass hole.

Cut and paste this and stuff it in his face.

Too bad you have to have a jerk like that to model yourself after. Hopefully you will learn that that abhorent inmature behavior is not the way you want to be around your wife and kids. I'm really sorry you have found the need to vent in here, but we are glad you did. It serves to remind some fathers in here the scars they can leave on their children by being full fledged pricks.

He only did that like once or twice, I was just still upset over the food.

He is super laid back, just mental about food. *Super mental about food*
