Man, every weekend I come to my dad's house and he acts like a little bltch. Like, for example, Im on the computer for a few hours of the day, and he has a fit. Yet we dont go anywhere fun, we dont even rent movies. I go out with my friends and he acts all disappointed, like he wanted to spend time with me. Im sorry dad, watching old john wayne movies doesnt make me happy. And no, I dont want to sit home and eat your home made nasty burrito shlt. You are loaded, I think we can afford to eat out once a month or so. What the crap man, old guys get ghey. He is 51, btw. Yeah so right now he is out mowing the lawn. He didnt even ask me to do it or help, he just goes at it trying to make me feel guilty. Anyone else have a babyish dad?

Geez! Maybe you ought to change the title of this thread to "Ugggh another PISSY SON SYNDROME DAY". It's a much better description of the content.

:eek:

And no, I dont want to sit home and eat your home made nasty burrito shlt.

LOL, remember Eddie Murphy and his "big pink momma burger" routine, LOL

You two just need something to do that you both like. Easier said than done however. My son is 15 and we do everything together, and no home made nasty burritos...

Instead of b*tching about it...why not think of something to do and ask him if he'd be interested in joining you? He's probably afraid to approach you thinking you'd think his ideas were lame but he'd probably love a suggestion from you.

Give it a try.

Go to a good taqueria, they'll have better burritos.

Ever try asaying something along the lines of "Hey, dad, want to go fishing/to a movie/to the basketball game/anywhere else?" or do oyu jsut get mad cause he doesn't take you anywhere when you just sit on the PC all day?

"Yet we dont go anywhere fun,"

Hey Dad, want to go 'bowling', 'miniture golf', watch a movie .... fill in the blank yourself.

"And no, I dont want to sit home and eat your home made nasty burrito shlt. "

Dad, I bought you a new cookbook, let's try out a new recipe.

"I think we can afford to eat out once a month or so. "
After a divorce many time the Dad's finaces are strained paying for two houses and keeping clothes on your back.

"Yeah so right now he is out mowing the lawn."
Sometimes it is just easier to do it yourself than have another argument about it. That is from a Dad's perspective. Sometimes the kid makes you feel guilty if you ask them to do anything. It's an affront to their "I'm a teenager the world owes me" attitude.


Try talking to your Dad. Tell him what you are doing. Tell him some likes and dislikes, otherwise your situation will not change and you will never get to know him. That will be your loss and your regret in the future.

I don't like your dad either.... Just to think, if he didn't have sex with your mother you would have never existed to post your whining message...

Try talking to him about things, instead of bitching like a baby...

I lost my dad 14 years ago, I was only 14, and it was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through so far in my life. Right now, I would give anything to have my dad make me a nasty dinner, and bug me to watch stupid John Wayne movies with him.

John Wayne movies are not stupid!

Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.

You'll get nowhere complaining about your Dad. There are too many Dad's here who will see it from his perspective. A perspective you might do well to try and understand.

Your Dad held you as a baby, his heart filled with love and wonder that he could contribute to such a pure and beautiful creation. His lot in life has changed and he finds perhaps, that some he once loved now turn to him with cold resentment. It's not easy being a Dad virtually doomed to be despised at some point by those you love ;)

You are in a unique position to offer your father solace at a difficult point in his life. That is what family does for each other. Is it so hard for you to do this for someone who loves you so much?

You're an asshole.



Just like that guy that insulted his mom's cooking because she was liberal (I think that was AaronP)



You need to grow up.

Yeah, as everyone else has kinda summed up, I'll just second it:

It takes effort on both your parts in order for things to work out. I'm 16, so believe me, I know that you don't always want to be around your dad, and you'd rather go out with friends. Just last night I was disappointed cause I was thinking of hanging out with some friends, but instead I ended up going to dinner with my mom, dad, and now-grown sister. I was dreading it a bit at the time, but look at this morning, I really don't care anymore, and I managed to get in good conversation with my dad, which is harder to do these days.

Hey Chris, what's for supper? :D

I seriously doubt your kids would EVER post a topic like this!

Actually, this just illustrates that NEITHER of you is communicating.
GooberPHX420, having been in both of your places, I see it a little differently...

You are bored and want to do what you want to do. You're at the age where parents are so out of it.
Your dad probably wants to do stuff with you but he isn't privy to your world anymore--how could he be?

Just go talk to him. My Father was killed when I was 3. I never got the chance to eat sh!tty burritos with him, watch John Wayne movies with him or mow the lawn with him! Consider yourself extremely lucky!

This thread made me call my Dad and thank him for all the good things he's given me. Thanks for being such an asshole, kid. It really made my day. :)
