Coming from a woman who grew up without her father around but knowing friends who had father's I can tell you all of them are different. Yours seems to be one who expects a lot from you and is critical and thinking its a good thing. All parents need to be supportive of their children and not so critical. I am a mother and I get to play the good guy and the bad guy to my daughter. I don't like to scold her but sometimes I do it for her own safety. Being a parent is all about doing what is in the best interest of your child. Love them, take care of them, listen and nurture them. You can be any type of father you want to be, if you dont like how your father was with you, you have the power to be a fun dad, that does fun things and plays sports with them and they can open up too. But there is also the balance of teaching them right from wrong and being a little critical of them. My father knowing him like I do now, loves his boys more than me, he pretty much is a womanizer and thats who he is. He is more leanient with my brothers, than me. He is harsh with all of us about things but we pretty much ignore it because we know he loves us, but he is not good with showing it.
