my dad and i have a wired relationship..well,i just had a quarrel with my dad..actually i was wrong by not answer him back in a nice way...yup,he did scold me at first and he was in hot-temper..so he throw a bottle at me..then forward up with a chocolate plastic container...but when this happen it will take weeks o maybe month to forgive and talk to me(even sometime he is wrong)..when we are good together we don't even talk much at all..sometime i feel my dad and i is not that suit as a ''family'' instead it's more suitable as a ''stranger''.. well,just want to know do have a good relationship or a wired relationship(like me) with your dad?^^

hi snpyvin. You're lucky because you have a Dad. I was raised without a dad. and sometimes, i think that if ever i have a daddy i will be a daddy's girl. so make sure that while your dad is with you, do the most. make him feel that he is important. take care

i actually have a good relation with my dad, but there are really times when i hated him for being so rush with money. My mom often understand him and kept the problem on her own for the sake of not giving my dad a bad mood. But since his my father and he saved my life back when I was just an infant (I am actually a pre-mature baby), I still communicate with him well and forgive him and still loved him more than he does know.

most of my life me and my dad didn't have a good relationship at all. due we wanted different things for me. he wanted me to be educated. i wish i would listen to him. but most of it he allow my brother to get away with so much. even when i was broke and was about to loose my house, asked if i could live in his house since he was staying at my step mom's he said no, but a month later my brother and his family moved. after they mess up the house it was me cleaning up the house not my brother. but now finally we are closer then ever, we just agree we are different, we have different belife. but i am so much like him in many ways. if you tell him i said that i will denie it lol..

My dad and I have a good relationship. My parent divorced when I was a baby, but that has not strained my relationship with my father. I have always been a daddy's baby. I would go and visit him and his family during the summer months and now that I'm grown we have a closer relationship.

I haven't talked to my dad in over 9 years. When I was less than 1 my dad left my mom, my twin sister and I to run off with my mom's younger sister. When I was little I didn't know all the nasty details but I did know that I hated going to his house because of the situation. When my mom remarried we saw him even less and then my stepdad legally adopted my sister and I. After that the relationship with my birth father pretty much stopped. Then when I went to college I saw him again and we would talk and go out once in awhile. He was at my wedding- though I didn't ask him to walk me down the aisle and he sure didn't offer to help pay for anything. He never really got involved in my life or my sister's. He had 2 kids with my aunt and he has knocked himself out to take care of them- even helped pay their way through college when all he gave me was a scarf. Even though he was no longer legally my dad he was still and is still the reason I am here. The last time I saw him was shortly after the birth of my oldest daughter. We set up a time to see him but then someone got sick and we never heard from him again. So to answer your question I have absolutely no relationship with my dad.

Hi I'm really sorry to know your relationship with your dad isn't good. I hope it'll improve very soon. My dad is 91 years old and by God's grace he is still in good shape. I have a wonderful relation with my dad. We celebrate his birthday. Whenever I go to meet him, i see him smiling and enjoying every moment even if it is his rest time. So i have to be careful, I go to meet him when his normal rest period is over.

I always had a great relationship with my father.We had our disagreements but they never lasted.My dad and i did alot together,even as an adult my dad and i and my partner would go out to clubs on the week-end.I was very close to my dad but he passed away in 2001 and it was horrible.I was there when he passed away and it took me quite awhile to get over it.I miss him so much.Treasure your dad while you still have him and never let petty things get in the way of the relationship and please never stay mad at each other. happy mylotting

no, not really. my dad is the most difficult person to deal with. maybe coz he is a Colonel in the Air Force and he expects everyone to be smart, well-behaved, and well-disciplined. i was not like that. i do whatever i want. but i still love my dad though and i know and i can feel that he loves me too. just not showing it

I had a wired relationship with my father when I was young.My dad is a hot-temper too.I was afraid of him.When he is in home, I cant talk aloud.But our reationship get along when I am mature.That is because of understanding.As long as we can think from the opposite side perspective,we can manage to deal with the problem.

Ok i will try to do as you said. But mostly i guess it wouldn't works as my dad is a stubborn guy i don't think he will treat me as a friend even thought i treat him one.

i can say that my dad and i have a good relationship though we are not that close to each other. we have a conventional "father and daughter" relationship, probably because of the age gap that we have. well, i am the youngest of their nine children and our generation is too far to have like "bestfriends" relationship. my father is also quite strict, serious and conservative. maybe that is one of the reasons why all of us (his children) are not so close to him.

Wow thats great you have 9 siblings. What a big family. Ya that maybe the reason and why people always say their dad is old fashion and don't understand their thoughts.

i had a very good relationship with my dad when he's still alive. i get jelous whenever he would ask my brothers to go with him and spend the afternoon in the cockpit arena or just chillin to at least forget about financial issues at home. but whenever he would see my good grades or simply winning writing contests at school can make him really happy. you know, its like when i look in his face, every part of it smiles. but there was a time when we had a really huge argument whether i come to school or not. i was a member of the school choir then and we have this huge performance that we've been tirelessly preparing for for weeks. but dad gets in the way, its a weekend and i dont have a class so i dont have any excuse. i just cried so hard my shirt got so wet. ironic part was im in the kitchen facing the refrigerator, as a cry baby i really cant help but wept all my anger and frustration that day. and then dad saw me, and asked "oh, why are you crying?" i know he knew the reason why but decided to ask for it anyway. i was extremely devastated with what happened that i yelled at him and said, "what do you want me to do? laugh?" it was the worst thing ever. he was about to slap me in the face but he stopped. i know he shared the pain, he just couldnt explain it so i would understand. we didnt talk for days and then finally hes the one who gave in hehe. "if i said something bad or did something that hurts then im sorry." that was when im preparing dinner. and both of us were smiling again. dad was very strict thats why i became your usual geek, but i dont blame him though. parents are just like that, very protective when it comes to their sons or daughters. they would realize hurting our feelings can sometimes destroy us too. but they know the pangs of life than we do right? sometimes we dont have to ask to understand, just love.

Ya i agreed most of the things done by parent are good to us. They just want the best for us but they just don't how to explain their hearts out thats what i can say. Maybe a little communication will make it.

Your lucky it was just a bottle and a plastic container. If I were to state my story here it would become a novel . I dont have any special relationship. Simply reading this discussion makes me . Well anyway I dont have any suggestion and ideas to give for its obvious that we are on the same shoe. Goodluck to us....LOL!!!

The relation between sons and fathers is some strange and it is hard to explain why. Every father want to keep their authority in front of his son. Most fathers think that it is fair enough for their sons to do what they tell them to. And the worse thing is that most men is used to solve problems using the threaten of volience. On the other hand, though most children admire their fathers very much, they usually do want to challenge their dads on anything. Perhaps this can explain why many children often do not do somethings as their dads tell them to. According to the above reasons, fight always occures between fathers and sons. I believe that the way to solve the fights is showing respect to each other. You can get along with your father well only if you two do respect each other.

Arguments with my dad are quite normal during my childhood time. I'm an adult now, and my dad is no longer that young but I feel that our relationship has been getting better each day. I know he's stubborn, so I didn't really bother to argue with him. I would prefer to talk to him nicely if I want to explain something to him. Most people thought that both of us are brothers - he doesn't look that old and I don't look that young. :)
