Is it normal my dad reacted this way?

Ok, so our family was invited to this going away party. I hadn't been getting enough sleep lately so I had been exhausted the entire week. The night before the party, I had gotten back home pretty late so I didn't wake up until noon and I was still tired. We were supposed to leave for the party by 2:45 but when i was getting ready, i sat down on my bed and ended up falling asleep again. I woke up at 3:00. Mind you, it would only take me 5 minutes to get ready. However, my dad yells at me asking why I'm not ready. I told him I fell asleep and he's yelling "That's bullshit! Why would you be sleeping?!" I say because I was tired. "Fuck that shit! You weren't tired!" How are you gonna tell me whether or not I'm tired? he mumbles to himself while walking away so I close my door. He runs up the stairs, kicks my door open which hits my foot HARD and he starts yelling "Dont close that fucking door in my face!" What is your problem?! Why are you yelling? "Because you always do this!" Do what? "Fuck up! You always fuck up! So you are gonna stay here and you are grounded for the rest of the month because you ruined the day!" How did I ruin yor day?! You're still going! "Shut the fuck up! We all were supposed to go!" But you just told me that I had to stay here. "Shut the hell up!" and then he walks away, leaving me confused as hell.

    They're parents. You may very well do similar stuff when you get to that stage in your life so instead of giving your future kids and excuse to call you a hypocryte just accept it that he got mad. He still loves you I'm sure (and a whole lot). And besides, think of the lack of sleep he probably gets. Don't complain, someone else has it worse.

    Well you should calmly go down stairs put sum boots on prefferably steel toes. Tie them on tight go up to him and kick him right in the dick. Not the balls the dick. Don't say anything just stare right in his eye afterwards.

    Parents are people, too. He was obviously stressed and took it out on you. You might have done tiny things over time, left the milk out for example, which he built up in his mind because he couldn't deal with his actual problems; this sleeping incident was just the last straw for him (though it wasn't your fault). My advice: suck it up and apologize. Either he'll feel like a fool and apologize to you, or he'll "forgive" you for his mistake, which should only hurt his honor, not yours. Sorry you're grounded.

    I would have knocked him out after that door scene...
    He was in a very bad mood. Maybe he'll apologize later on.

      he never apologized. he brought me back some corn from the party like that was supposed to make up for everything. and believe me, i definately wanted to kick him in his over-sized head.

    He's either crazy, a retarded asshole, or drunk.

    Shitty that he cusses at you. If he thought that people had told you, then it's a pretty normal reaction (except for the cussing). I agree with that other comment that you must have done some things that pissed him off before and it got built up. Also, depends on how old you are (how old're you?) and how often you do things like this. I remember coming home drunk when I was around 16 and they kept me out all night even though it was snowing lol. He's boxed my ears and hit me for doing shitty things when I was a kid (which I did a LOT). Btw...dads have a horrible time apologizing (my dad's never apologized to me EVER). He died two years ago and I'm 30 now. He's the only guy I could have deep conversation with about certain things (after age 20 lol...didn't talk much with him from around 14-20). MISS HIM TERRIBLY. You only appreciate your parents later on dude (or dudette). Don't burn any bridges is my advice to you. Another thing is that folks really only mature as parents at 45-50 (it's a tough learning curve!)

    Sounds like my family. They are constantly flipping out over tiny things. I do that too, but I can't really help it...

    Your dad needs to shut the fuck up and relax!

    I've had fights with my family, where I would run to my room and try to close the door and then someone would try to force themselves through the door. Because "apparently" you're not suppose to close the door on your family.

    I would try telling a friend about this, for support and what not.
