If your dad is being mean to you I think that you should sit down with both your mom and your dad and tell them how you feel. Tell them that you feel like you're being treated like shit. If that doesn't work then sit your mom down and talk to her alone, ask her to go out to lunch with you or something and tell her how you feel. Ask her to do something that'll make a difference... or ask her to talk to him about it.
Ashtobomo answered Sunday April 17 2005, 9:59 pm: I know you've probably heard this a lot, but you need to talk to your dad about what is bothering you. Tell him that you feel that he isn't being nice to you. Sometimes parents can be waay too harsh, and they don't realise it. Whenever my mom is being a total jerk I just talk to her about what's bothering me. You can't get totally mad about it though, and freak out.. cuz that never helps anything, it just causes more tension.
Well, I hope I helped...

soccrchick answered Sunday April 17 2005, 3:52 pm: omg I have that same problem my dad and i lke hate each other but he won't admit that he does. What i do is just ignor him when he is mean and nice to me just like let it go and try to be nice when he is mean it might make him in a better mood
karenR answered Sunday April 17 2005, 3:12 pm: Seems everyone is in a bad mood now and then. Your best bet would be just to steer clear of him when you sense he is in a bad mood. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Ask him if their is anything that you or anyone else did to make him act that way to you. Before you talk to him make sure there is nothing that you have done in the past to maybe upset him.
Poppsie answered Sunday April 17 2005, 1:06 pm: You should really talk to someone about this your friends of other members of your family and see if they can help you out in any way. Or you just talk to your dad and tell him how you feel on how he is treating you and how mean he is being towards you. Hopefully he will understand and change his ways for you. If nothing changes maybe you need some time away from him and talk to your mom maybe she can tell him how you feel.
Hope everything gets sorted out for you. Luv Poppy [ Poppsie's advice column | Ask Poppsie A Question ]
Aunty_Anna answered Sunday April 17 2005, 1:05 pm: my dads like this, he'll suddenly switch moods and you never know what to expect! but don't worry about it, there could be a number of reasons for this! my dads normally in a mood when hes had a bad day at work or under stress! im afraid theres nothing you can do but accept it, if hes in a mood then i'd just stay out of his way until you think hes calmed down!! Good Luck, but don't blame your dad, its not his fault and i'm sure he doesn't mean to be horrible to you!! [ Aunty_Anna's advice column | Ask Aunty_Anna A Question ]
dwarp answered Sunday April 17 2005, 12:33 pm: He might be under stress. Maybe try asking him what's wrong, and once he talks it out with you he'll feel a lot better and be nicer to you. If that's not the case, calmly explain to him that you don't think it's fair that he's being mean to you when you don't think you have done anything. Who knows? Maybe it's a complete misunderstanding and you did something that he thought was mean, but it was completly unintentional. Just discuss it calmly and you should be able to sort things out.

o0xbrianna answered Sunday April 17 2005, 12:20 pm: Tell him how you are feeling. He probably doesn't realize how he is treating you. Be nice to him and when he is being mean to you just ask him why. He sounds like he is Bi Polar
