rockmanmegaman Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 When i was young i remember my dad being a mature nad understand and reasonable person, however, as I get older he starts become somewhat stubbon and selfish. Today My mom came home and joke about him bein stingy, he went full off at my mom and my mom leave the house angrily. I explained to my dad sayin that mom was only jokin and that he's not right shouting at her like that and then he replied that he doesn't care, because she hurt his feelings. i then said oh my god you're acting so immature. He then begins to say cruel and harsh things towards me. Like what's his problem, he's not stress or anything, I just fdon't know why. Link to post Share on other sites
TaraMaiden Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Do you truly know what has gone on in his life, as a married man, responsible for raising a family? have you any idea of any financial problems he might have had to shoulder? Do you think his own upbringing, and conditioning by his parents could be a factor? Don't just look at this isolated incident as an indication of a change in his behaviour. This has been formulating for a long time. Maybe you haven't noticed it, but sometimes, we ignore the lives our parents have to lead, because we're too engrossed in our own world to realise they had a teenage life too....and a love life, and passion, and emotions, and personal issues......

Peaceful Guy Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 hey man, sorry to hear that! its soooo hard to see people older than you throw temper tantrums like little kids.. i wouldnt let it go.. get him sometime when hes got a sense of humor.. "whats up with you flying off the handle?".. "you know you can relax, right?".. if he doesnt want to hear it than i don't think there's much you can do.. but still, something must be going on.. you sound pretty hip.. and if you say he used to be more chill, maybe he could use a friendly reminder. i don't really agree with the last poster because even though he's been through some ****, that doesn't give him a pass to act like that.. and it doesn't sound like your not forgiving him.. that's when it helps to really understand where someones coming from.. not to excuse inappropriate behavior. anyway, i can relate.. recently my dad's been doing this thing where he comes home and complains before he gets dinner.. gonna have to talk to him again about it. yesterday it was a couple dishes in the sink, day before that it was listening to music on the tv, today it was driving slightly off the edge of the grass next to the driveway.. its pretty funny really, hes actually a usually easy going guy. still, gotta get him when hes in a good mood. hope this works out for you.. ide be curious to hear what happens. peace man.

Peaceful Guy Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 i actually just now told my dad.. snicker.. "hey dad, there's one little thing.." he came upstairs in a good mood after eating to tell me hes gonna go hang out with his bud.. "you've kind of fallen into this pattern where you complain about one thing before you eat.." im smiling as i say this.. "its not a big deal, its actually kind of funny, i just think you should pay attention to it.." that was me talking.. then hes a little snippy.. "maybe you just shouldnt be here around dinner time then." L O L! i said, "do you Really think that's appropriate?.." he goes, "ill try to pay attention to that." god that's funny!!! for the record, i can't really remember the exact words even though it just happen.. it should have been read as really chill though.. anyway.. its done.
