My Dad

[TAC1]

I consider my dad as not a nice person. He constantly yells at me for the littlest of things and its getting annoying. And anytime he tells me to do something and it don't do it right away he also yells at me. No one on my moms side of the family actually like my dad. Yesterday he embarrased me in front of my friends and some of my family because i didn't do what he wanted right away.

How can I deal with this. HELP ME PLEASE!

Me too.
Theres not much you can do.....As far as I know....But he wouldn't be so quick to do it if you were stronger than him or something....Probably

Honestly to me it sounds like hes just really strict.
Other than social embarrassment (which is normal with parents) he isn't really harming you
Of course no one likes to be yelled at... But its pretty normal to get yelled at by parents

But maybe Im misjudging the severity?

To me you sound like he just gets angry over what seems to be small things, and he yells at you
It doesnt sound that huge to me, but if it is, try talking to him, and asking him why he gets so angry over little things. Or if you think hed be angry at that, ask your mom, or your grandparents even, and figure out whats up.

I'm on Nick's side. Just because he yells at you, it doesn't mean that he's not a nice guy. I would believe you if he gets angry over small things, but other than that, he doesn't sound too bad.

Nick has got it.
Parents shout, they embarras us in society. But it doesn't make them horrible, he might not be the most social or kindest man in the world. But parents just want the best for their children.
It might not seem like it, but they do.

I've spoken to my mom about it and she said that she had no intentions of marrying him but she did b/c she was pregnant with me

You should try talking to him. He's your dad and he should appreciate you talking to him.

My Dad likes to do that as well and i think its because of his mental state. I believe he feels like he's in control by yelling when he really isn't.

He's gotten better since he discovered my scarred up arm.

[Sugaree]

He's just a strict "do it now" kind of guy it seems. Just because he gets on you because you don't so something right away doesn't mean that he's not a nice guy. He just wants things to be done right away. It's probably just a personality trait and nothing more or less then that.

Tell your dad to stop and you'll get to it in a minute

[Lil D]

talk to him about it

[thrust of trust]

tell daddy to piss off (with all due respect). i think he's being nasty and annoying.

i was going out with some girls and guys from school, and my dad was giving me the keys to his car in front of m friends, he told me to keep the car clean, and i made some joke. he made me do 100 push ups right there lol.

You also have to take into account his current state. Your parents could be in a financial situation which could leave him being on edge and very tense, so if you dont do as he asks he may be affected more than you think. You have to help them as much as they help you.
And the embarassment thing is totaly normal, im sure 90% of childrens fathers do it. the other 5% dont have a dad the remaining 5% would probably be an extremely highly strung, prim family
