my dad travels almost every week to california. we live in mass. he`s missed my birthday for about 5 years now and my most recent violin concert that was really important to me and my soccer tournament. occasionally he gets weeks off work and travel and stays home or works from home but he`s always in a really bad mood. whever i ask him to stop bitching at me he`s like "what, i`m not in a bad mood! leave me alone!"i try to tell my mom that he`s in a bad mood for no reason at all and ask her to tell him to stop it but she always sticks up for him and says that he has it rough traveling so often, we should give him a break, he`s just tired he`s always been kind, patient, a great person etc etc But even she has to see that he`s being just plain evil sometimes. once i remember i was working on a project with a friend and asked him to cut up a box for him and he said no because he was busy [he was watching tv and eating] so we asked again after he was done with lunch and he said only if we bring everything to him! it was impossible to bring all of the things in the box [it was a clay diorama] to him! it weighed a ton! oh gosh that`s not even close some of the worst he`s done .. i want him to stop because it`s hard enough for me n my bro to have a dad that isnt around much but when he is home, can`t he make an effort not to scream at us for laughing?
i totally appreciate it!!!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Do you only talk to him when you need something? Maybe you should arrange a "date" with your Dad a few weeks out so that you can tell him how he is making you feel. It is true that he works a lot, is stressed, blah blah blah, but you need him too. If you make a plan, maybe he will be more relaxed and you can talk to him.

ur dad seems to be going through alot of stress right now between work and traveling but he should be able to spend time with u guys and not get mad at everything u do.He should definatley try to make an effort for not screaming at u.

wow that's a really tough situation, and my advice isn't going to help too much i don't think, but im going to try my best! alright, i saw that one time when your dad is out, you and your brother take your mom out for dinner and just bring up the conversation of your dad. Just tell her how you truly feel, and if she tries to just be like "no no no" just tell her to listen for a minute! be so serious and be strong! don't finish dinner until your point has gone through to your mom. then, one time when your dad is home, get your mom and you and your brother to sit at a table and now, do the same thing you did with your mom to your dad... it's going to be hard but it will work out! im sry it wasn't very good advice, but i hope i helped!:D good luck
