How do you feel about your Dad?

I know of far more bad moms than bad dads though. Like my boyfriend's dad is a sweet heart, but his mom is a complete bitch. I've never met her, but I've heard some fucked up stories, and not only from Brad...

 

the words that i would use to describe my dad are, porch monkey

i love him, he can be fun at times <especially when i get him drunk>
but he's a dead beat

and really fucking weird

 

probably more bad moms than dads because there's more moms than dad involved with their children. it's just numbers.

 

My dad is one of my very best friends.

 

maybe that's why my dad is bad, cause he's always jobless and i see him more than my mom

 

I feel sorry for him.

 

I met my dad a few years ago, he seems like a nice guy.
He's an active member of his church, and likes to play music.
I don't know if we clicked or not.
I lost his phone number.

 

who?
i hope you're not referring to my dad
he choses to be a lazy jobless bum
walmart always need more greeters

i sound a little harsh...

 

no, no. I meant my dad. Your dad may choose to be lazy, but mine chooses to be a sociopath. I win.

 

oh well i can understand that, my dads bipolar

but i think the crazy fathers make us into the fabulous people we are today, eh lynds
:cheers2:

 

my dad is badass

 

he's a character. i don't call him dad though. his sister, my aunt, adopted me (legally kidnapped me) when i was just a baby.
he's the sort of guy that likes to ride a skateboard while wearing cowboy boots.
he lets me drive his classic cars when i visit him. he taught me how to drive a stick shift in his 1929 ford truck.
i talk to him about once a year around the holidays and thats it.

 

He's a smart, funny, accepting and loving person, but we aren't that close. I visit him every other weekend and we go see my crazy Italian gramma who lives out of town. We don't have a lot in common- he's an old hippie all the way, and isn't that into the geeky junk I'm into. We both like video games, like old-school SNES, but it pretty much stops there. When we hang out, we usually just watch syndicated sitcoms together, have some pizza and crash. That's it. Then, I go back to reality and he goes back to sitting in his shack.
I guess I love him now. I did when I was very little, then we lost touch and I really didn't- not because I was angry with him or anything, just indifferent. I didn't really know how to appreciate the relationship, I think. But I've grown to love him again. I would be sad if he died, but like I said, we aren't terribly close.

 

Edit: nevermind. Wasn't as comfortable talking about it as I thought I would be.

 

hes alright i dont know him as a father though

 

undecided.

I'd say he's been pretty consitently fucked up as a person throughout my life.

but I can't help to think that he has good intentions, so I always just give him the benefit of the doubt and accept him for what he is -- a very troubled person.

 

Even though I may get super disgruntled with my dad, im glad he is there. I get along with him 100% better than with my mom...and he adds clarity to my life when he gives me advice.

 

I don't see him very often and he wasn't really involved in parenting me as a child.

 

I did the same exact thing.

 

My dad looks like Tony Blair.
Apart from that I think he is cool.
