Hi!
My dad will not stop annoying me! He will stop at nothing to disturb what I'm doing. I can't take it anymore! He burps out loud, which is really disgusting, and I was just cleaning and he came in and went through the stuff in my room. I'm 13/m btw and I'm fed up with it. Help!
Additional info, added Tuesday December 27 2011, 3:58 pm: I'm ready to explode right now! Also whenever I tell him he is annoying he just gets mad at me and is mean to me. I'm crying right now. help.. Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category? Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos? theadvicegal answered Sunday January 1 2012, 11:08 am: I can see your point, I have the same problem too. I am 15, and when I tell my dad the truth about himself, he never wants to hear it, and gets all mad at me.
Now, I know it is frustrating to deal with this kind of issue, and you could try talking to him until you are blue in the face. I suggest that if talking doesn't work, you need to start asking some questions... Lay your foot down. If he is searching through your stuff, ask him why... He needs to understand what he is doing... If he is still acting in an angry manner, maybe as your mom for help, try to ignore it, or keep trying to talk to him.

You may or may not understand this when you get older. Just know that its not at all uncommon and your dad really isn't weird at all from what you have said.
Apart from that, you're clearly at an age where having conflict with your parents is not only going to be normal, but may even be a normal every day thing.
I remember when I was your age (not to sound old, I'm only 20) I would get very VERY upset with my parents, both for not leaving me alone when I wanted some solitude, and also not showing enough affection when I felt the need for it. As you grow up, you start to realize that in the end, its really not that big a deal.
Your dad may be annoying, but as you get older, you will probably grow closer to him as he comes to respect you more. You'll start having serious conversations and get to know each other better. At 13 it can be really hard for grown men to really connect with their sons. Don't be too hard on him. Its all just a phase anyway. Sometimes you just have to accept it, and deal with it.
So I guess my advice is, don't take it too seriously. Some day he will be leaning on you and depending on you, even if the two of you have some problems in these next couple years.
Try to forgive him and understand him if you can. If that doesn't work, do your best to ignore him and do your own thing.
