Is it normal that me and my dad do NOT get on?

  • First of all - you are hormonal and if anything like my teenager, you like the sound of your own voice and argue for arguing sake. I am in a similar situation to your mum as I've been very ill and I've got a teenager who never gives over!

    My husband does everything and my teenager doesn't dream of doing any chores without being asked - ask what you do? So on top of your mum being ill, you are another 'taker' or parasite wearing your dad out, and talking nonsense at the same time. The man is bored listening to you idiotic drivel which may seem important to you but compared to his problems are just childish.

    Put yourself in his shoes... would you work to pay bills, pay rent / mortgage, buy food, give you money, etc etc etc. No, you want to move out and run away from these problems! Here's news for you --- so does he!!

    Give the man a break!

    Either help out and stop being a burden or go to the library / friend's house after school so that he doesn't have to put up with you for too long, in the evenings.

    Grow up and see it from his perspective and stop making your mum even more ill - she must be worn out listening to this crap!

    Just had an idea - you could contact Social Services and ask to be taken into care. They would place you in a home or with foster parents, who get paid very well to put up with you!!

    Sorry teens - but I assume the OP would like to hear an adult's perspective too :o)

    • You have just offended me in so many ways, I don't even know where to begin.
      But let's start here: I am not as immature as you seem to think I am, and I find you to be EXTREMELY patronising. You do not know my father, and of course my mum being ill has put stress on the both of us, but I love my mum more than anything and I do try my best not to hurt her by arguing with my dad, because believe it or not it IS my dad who starts most of the arguments. And of course his life isn't easy, but I'm their only child, it would be nice if we got along at least sometimes, and I think you'll find it's my mum who works and pays the bills, not him.
      And I pity your teenager if all they say is apparent to you as "idiotic drivel" and their problems are only "childish" to your grown up life!
      Don't dare tell me to grow up, when you don't even know me.
      An idea for you - get off this website and go listen to your teenager, maybe you'll find they want a conversation with you and it's not all "idiotic drivel" after all. :)

      • It takes two to argue - so he doesn't argue with himself, does he?

        And yes, your problems are absolutely miniscule to those of true adults dealing with sickness, bills, work, financial problems, routine, chores etc. So unless you'd like to list your contribution to running this happy home - then you are a taker.

        And as you've only been a member for two weeks - don't tell me to get off this website coz you don't like my advice for you. It's not my fault that you are too immature to sit down and consider it for a week or so. Typical teenager lashing out wanting to hear themselves. Think! Think! Think! Then speak!

        Anyhow, check out the second line, just below IIN Gold... Play Nice!
