Have some relationship problems with my dad. Sometimes he never notices the things I did, and keeps on saying what I did not do, and never asks why. Even when I say the reason (valid reasons, like busy, or truly forget) he rarely listens.
never admits wrong and sometimes can be a showoff. I know I shouldn't say this but... hai. If I say something back, like give the reason why I did not do something he always say I love to quarrel with people. Wth...
Also..... when I'm feeling down, I tell him "no mood" he'll say something like "the buddha does not have emotions" or "emotions is up to you to decide your emotion". This hurts me even more. Or say I tell him I failed my test. He would say "why u always sleep late huh? later u fail and fail again. see you failed maths" instead of saying something nice.
can't remember when's the last time he said sorry to me or said words of encouragement. hai.
Fathers have father egos, pride and intergrity, u should respect him and even if he is wrong, just tell him nicely. No matter what he says or did, he do not know you dun like it, tell him about it, hv a good talk with him every now and then to build relationship. Tho yr father preach alot, but i can gaurantee and ensure you that deep inside him...HE LOVES U.
