me and my dad...dont get along...at all..he takes the simplest things i say..so serious..and all wrong...for instance..the other day we were trying to decide wut to do for lunch...we all decided on something but then he jus had to change his mind. when they asked me i said 'i dont care can we jus go some place cuz im really hungry' his response 'well i dont like your attitude!!' my mom tries to calm him down but his final desicion is 'well i just wont eat then!!' he gets so mad at me for the stupidest things like that..and my mom steps in and tries to resolve it but he ends up mad at the both of us..and when he gets mad..he cusses...last year i went to a school..on the bad side of town(it was a magnet skool..for higher students..but all the peeple hoo lived around there went ther too) so i heard so much language i got sick of it....so one day when he was mad..i asked him not to cuz i hear enough of it everyday..well now..he still cusses..acts like that talk never happened..and he's my sunday skool teacher! and everyone thinks i live the perfect life when its horrible..my dad keeps telling me over and over how we may not have enough money for christmas this year...ive told my mom that i hate when he talks about stuff like that..i guess he thinks im to 'mature'..last sunday..we talked about 'controlling our anger' and he wuz like 'u decide to get angry' well he decides that a whole bunch! i just want to stop the fighting..and my mom and i have sat and cried after some fights..and i want to stop bringing my mom into these fights..i want to stop the fighting..but im not sure how..oh any by the way..im only 12
You have everything..your dada does not. Seems to me that you are the AULT in this situation.
I have nver gotten along wiht my father..and enver will.
If I argue wiht him..the only person who gets hurt is me.
So I would just say..keep your thoughts to yourself.
YOU ARE RIGHT...you are the one in control..seems to me that your dada is on big baby.
But when you keep your cool..you win...
So just walk away or say nothing..in the long run...it will make him look bad...
As to yor mom..i would NOT let my husband talk like that to my kid..so she needs to get a bakcbone and tell your dad to chill his behavior...For someone who is only 12..you are the ADULT in your family [ dinoold's advice column | Ask dinoold A Question ]

Invincible_Once answered Friday November 5 2004, 10:19 pm: Aw i'm really sorry to hear that...Me and my mom were the same way for such a long time. We still dont get along to well but its not as bad as it used to be. Let him know how much its hurting you. Its not fair what hes doing. He's being a hypicrit and its not right.

Juliett answered Friday November 5 2004, 8:21 pm: Let Juliet spread the love (*'../'*). well it seams your dad is troubled. Maybe you should go to him and be like you need a counsler, adf if you feel scared ask your mom. As appart from this school I think you should try to get a scholorship to a new school. E-mail or im me in you need any more help [ Juliett's advice column | Ask Juliett A Question ]
xO_Chelsea_Ox answered Friday November 5 2004, 7:54 pm: Well, you dad is acting like a total asshole - no offense! - Just whatever he wants tod o, just agree with him even though you may like it...

And he probably isn't gonna stop cussing when he gets mad because it's like your tellig him what to do and parents hate that! (I know you weren't telling him what to do, but that's what they think you are doing... lol) I hoped i helped!! :)
