You sound like a brat to me. I agree with GO-N-Deaf's bottom line. It's the truth.

if a brat is someone who asks for less material things in exchange for a father that shows respect/talks to his kids for more than *****ing......then yes, ill be a brat for life.

he has like 4-6 beers a day, and i made him stop bringing it in the car for a little while, then he started again. if u wont do it the first time, u wont the second. ur right, he doesnt beat the shit out of me and im VERY thankful for what i have. but i would give it away to have a family that respects everyone and has dinner at a single table where everyone sits down together once a week. and that doesnt happen because schedules conflict.

Some things in life are bad,

They can really make you mad,

Other things just make you swear and curse,

When you're chewing life's gristle,

Don't grumble,

Give a whistle

And this'll help things turn out for the best.

And...

Always look on the bright side of life.

Always look on the light side of life.

If life seems jolly rotten,

There's something you've forgotten,

And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.

When you're feeling in the dumps,

Don't be silly chumps.

Just purse your lips and whistle.

That's the thing.

Always look on the bright side of life.

Always look on the bright side of death.

hes not really a dead beat, he just works allll day comes home has 4 beers and plays on the computer, my mom calls him for dinner, and he comes 15 minutes later after 4 more callings, and the food is cold and everyone else has said **** it, lets eat.

in the sense that he doesnt try to make things good with everyone hes a dead beat i guess, but he makes the money in the house, bought a bad *** hour, 4 bad *** cars, and wants to buy a beamer, in that sense...hes not a dead beat.

So basicly you're upset that he works his *** off and relaxes in a way that you don't approve of?

Talk to him, let him know your concerns.

its not that he comes home and relaxes, its that i see him all of 3-4 hours a day and seems like hes mad at the world for two of those.

Dude if he's some ranging alcoholic or some shit then this forum isnt where you need to take it lol. If hes just a hard working father that has a bad attitude towards his kid then you need to go talk to him about it and express your feelings. Even if he is disrespecting you I suggest you respect him, of course if he is verbally attacking you or beating you thats another story.

So get you thoughts together and talk to him, as an adult would.

No offense, but if you get all whiney, like it sounds like you are being to me, you won't get as good of a reaction as if you talk to him like a rational grown up.

i could of swarn i said he has said things about my weight to me in a disrespectful manner. im not one of those heavy kids that sits on his *** and feels bad for himself. im in the garage building, working my *** off to get my system right, going to school full time, working part time, and comeing home and helping around the house, helping do dishes and cook with my mom. i dont sit around on the computer 24/7 saying ****...i wish i could lose weight, that would rule. i just dont see the point in paying 100 dollars a month to go to the gym.
