Is it normal for you not to talk much to your dad?

I live with both my parents and i seem to tell more things to my mom. I never tell my dad about how my day went or any new girls i've met or anything. He has told me before that he feels like i dont trust him, but i just feel weird inside. I don't know what to do!! Help me guys! Thanks!

    Men are 'fixers' so talk to your dad when you have a problem he may be able to fix - like your car, etc. Moms are for emotional issues, dads like practical things they can help you with.

    Sometimes not everyone likes both parents. Some people like their dad more while others like their mom more. Some people don't like neither parents and some ppl only have one parent. Well I never had a dad so I wouldn't know. I had possibly a step dad but he was such a douche and honestly,, to be honest I thought I was far more smarter then he was. He was such a retard but he thought he was so bad ***. My brothers don't talk to him either and thats their real father. Do you love your dad? Do you think your dad loves you? Be honest. Its okay to not love or to feel that someone doesn't love you. I don't love my real dad and I call him my sperm donor becuz he doesn't deserve the name dad. I am the one who does not want him in my life, he tries all the time to get in my life and I just close him out. I am very very mean to him and I think he should die and I told him that a very long time ago. I am just that evil towards him but I feel like dads are useless beings. They don't do nothing and they pin it all on the mothers. They want love but they don't want to work for it. I think no one should just freely love their dads. I think they need to work for love. That is why most dads feel they can do the bare minimal and reap the rewards becuz no one tells them other wise. If your dad who is a grown man doesn't make the connection with you first then to hell with him. You as a child should not have to force a grown man who is suppose to be your father to love you or to talk to you. Does that make sense? My advice to you is to not bother with that relationship. If he doesn't want to connect wit you or make an effort to connect wit u then he is useless. There is 7 billion ppl on this earth so make a new connection with another person to fill the void.

    maybe your dad was an asshole (like mine) and over time you learned not to trust him with your personal info because he'll just use it to put you down?

    as I became an adult my dad became a better person and much more useful to me and has provided me with invaluable advice-as a teen I hated him with a passion.

    Its the same at my house. I barley speak to my dad but im not proud of it. We communicate trough my mom lol. He'll tell her to tell me something and vise versa. But sometimes she refuses and I have to do it myself lol. But I still love him no matter what. Besides it could be worse, he could not be there at all. So im greatfull.

    I don't talk much to my dad either. I always turn to mom when I need to discuss my thoughts & feelings. I think dad is secretly hurt over it, because mom has told me that dad says things to her like, "I wish the kids (me and my brother) would talk to me like they talk to you." But I hate talking to him about my thoughts and feelings because he never listens - he just lectures me about how the things I feel are either wrong or illogical. At least that's how it was when I was a teenager; I haven't tried to have a serious discussion with him since then.
