kneeling for my dad

[Riley2015]

Think I may have mentioned this before.basically when talking to my dad I kneel on the floor.sometimes he tells me to but most times I get on my knees without needing to be asked. If iI have been bad and I know I'm getting punished I drop to my knees without hesitating. What do you guys think of this? I guess I'm the only one who kneels for their dad but I'm not ashamed of it :cool:

I got to admit I think this is pretty extreme on your dad's part. I guess if you do not have a problem then whatever, but I think it gets to the border line of being a bit cruel

I guess i'm used to it now. It used to feel a bit weird but now it feels less so. It feels normal to me because its happened for so long but I know its not really normal lol

like I said, if you don't have a problem with it it is fine. but something about it seems...extremely domineering. esp how you mentioned how he gives harsh punishments and stuff...I think most people would be worried if your dad is treating you ok

The kneeling is better than the alternative which is standing facing the wall which I hate.

I mean like I said man, if your ok with it then cool, I just know I wouldn't be nor would I ever do that to my own children.

Thanks. Yeah i'm cool with it and I want to carry on doing it cos its no big deal and even if I didn't I'm only 13 snd he is not gonna let it stop anywsy

You know, I think this is so humiliating that it's abuse. I can't countenance that.

your dad sounds very domineering to me. Its not always a bad thing, but there is a such thing as overkill. I understand about having your kids respect you as a parent and all, but to make your kid totally submit, is a bit much for my tastes.

Do other siblings have to do this too, or just you? I admit, at first when I read your post, I was like, WTF? But I also know different families act and behave differently. What's weird for one family is the norm for another. Not sure I understand it, but ultimately if you're ok with it, thats cool. Just remember not everyone is going to understand

It sounds a bit weird if you do that all the time. It's not bad or anything. Different people have different ways of doing things. If you feel comfortable, then it's ok.

This, especially when combined with the other posts you've made regarding your father, is definitely problematic. This is coming from one of the most "old school" members on VT. I strongly recommend that you speak with the school counselor (or an equivalent) about this.

Parents are supposed to be respected, but that in no way justifies being a tyrant.

uhhh good for you :confused:

That would be very a humbling experience for me. Since I turned 5, I meet every adult at eye level ... whether they are bigger or smaller.^^

But if this is no humiliation for you and you get along with this severity of your dad, why should you be ashamed doing so?



btw: oh, if my dad would demand me to doing it, under certain circumstances there is chance I would beat him up.
