So tonight I realized why I moved in with my mom about 7 months ago.
Just when I think well hey maybe I should move back in with my dad, he lives ina 4 bedroom 2 bath house by his self. But as soon as I walk through the door it was nothing but bitching.... I will cliff note what he said.
I will change the locks if you dont start cleaning up the garage.
My answer: Its not my fault everytime you go in there you just toss shit around and make it look like I dont clean up
Im tired of missing tools
My answer: Thats funny you say that because everytool thus far is the ones I have recently purchased or bought before
Why did you take my propane tank and not refill it
My answer: because usually when I get off work at 12-4am in that range no one will let you exchange propane tanks and why in the hell would you wanna cook out on your grill in 36 degree weather.
Man fellas sorry for the rant but now I realize why I still live with my mom till this day. My dad always tells me to call him and blah blah blah but god damn its like when I do he bitches about anything shit untill 3-4 weeks ago I never went over there after moving out and he still bitched.

So....why bother still having a relationship with him at all? Sounds like nothing but trouble. And don't give me that "hes my dad" shit either. Bad people are bad people, and you cut them out and keep going. It doesn't sound like he's worth the effort.

you know, as a father I can tell you that it is often a thankless job where you get villified to all your childrens friends. The upside is I dont care what her friends think of me. Too many parents want to be their kids friend or buddy, but its not a popularity contest.
here is what I would have expected my kids to say in response to your dads stements:
I will change the locks if you dont start cleaning up the garage.
yes sir.
Im tired of missing tools
yes sir
Why did you take my propane tank and not refill it
I will fill it right now.
The way I read it, at least you got to argue your case. You should be thankful of that and respect his space and property. I PAY to rent garage space and I make sure everything is cleaned up every time I leave, even if I am coming back in the morning, and if I leave shit out of place or use something up my landlord has every right to call me any time of day and ask me to correct it.

Cant fill propane tanks around here at 11pm-4am at night man or else I would. I got all the respect in the world for my dad but damn its just like he picks arguements for no reason. You obviously didnt see were I posted about the tools he said were missing were mine.
I am more than understanding about useing his property I thank him any chance I get for letting my truck sit in his garage for the last 2 years.
Last time we had a discussion like this he finally came out after we got all of our words out and said he was getting a divorce with his other half.
Believe me this isnt about being immature and being childish but its like I never see this shit coming....

i think maybe you have the same problem with your dad that i had with mine. i think untill recently he veiwed me as the little boy he raised even though im in my twentys. my dad and i share no common intrests what so ever, he never new where my head was at and could not relate to any of my problems or any of my hobbies, but in his defence i couldn't relate to him either. don't get me wrong i love my dad but most of the time we either didn't have anything to say to each other or we were bitching at each other over something stupid that didn't really matter. it's better now because me and my dad work at the same place and he see's me as more of a "man" i guess than before and i see him as someone other than my dad. now i am not saying you should go to work with your dad but maybe you could find a way to show him that your not a little kid anymore. its sad that as grown men we have to prove to "daddy" that we are not idiots but its something that some of us have to do i think.

I wasnt judging your situation or either of you, just giving you insight to the way your dad feels. For all I know he could be a hall of fame douchebag or father of the year.
It costs a lot of money every month to keep a house and garage, and offspring tend to forget this kind of investment when they talk about what their dad or mom does for them. When my kids act capricious I drill them on what we have and why we have it, most times they get to write the checks for the monthly bills so they understand the costs associated with a home.
Like I said though, just insight. Mark Twain said something to the effect of "When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. "
