Why do I not feel like picking up when my dad calls?

The people criticizing you obviously just never had a similar situation. I didn't like talking to my older brother for years because every talk we had turned into an extremely long lecture about something I wasn't interested in hearing. Things have since improved now that he recognizes me as his kid brother but no longer as a kid. I even voluntarily ask him for advice now.

I can understand exactly what the OP feels, but I would like to suggest that he be more upfront with his dad about why he doesn't like talking to him. I'm sure that once the dad understands he will make an effort to not lecture so much and you guys can slowly improve your relationship. Of course you'll have to say "you're doing it again" every now and then, but the important thing is that your relationship can change and improve. Confront him like a man and he may treat you like one.

Obviously, he could just start talking to his dad and bringing up things that interest him. You know, take an active role into getting to know his dad and vice versa. I find that, usually people who don't really let their parents in are the ones that are having problems like this....

And yes, this sounds like an asian situation lol.
