Why does my dad overreact over nothing?
My dad always overreacts and tells for no reason. For example just now he wasn't yelling at me cause I called Walmart and asked if I could return something but apparently I shouldnt have asked that and then he was yelling at me telling me why I dont listen and did it wrong and everything. He gets so mad at me, to the point where I'm bawling my eyes out and he doesn't even care and just complains and talks bad about me to my sister (we don't talk, she's dead to me) even if me and my mom try to explain that he was wrong and everything he won't accept it and thinks he's right. Why does he do this and how can I get him to stop and understand me?
Why does my dad overreact to every simple thing?
There is a problem in the very deep structure of your relationship with your dad that needs to be addressed. Expectations of life, culture etc. do not match?I have similar issues that have gone on - unspoken - with relatives dating back 40 years - not good.If you can, find a mediator. There used to be a government run charity called “relate” in the UK that tried to heal this sort of rift in families.Or try talking in a friendly voice about the problem without aggression or one-upmanship.These things build up as a matter of ego and pride and not one party backs down. We both sides feel agrieved and possibly because of the use of condescending voice tone. Never treat another human with outright contempt -especially family. Saying “sorry” is the hardest thing but soooo worth it.It is good to acknowledge that - in some respect your dad is right and that his views are at least half founded… but point out that you must be allowed your own methods to achieve a good solution that fits both of you.It is also worth noting that inside a family home -that you possibly both subconsciously regard as a safe haven where troubles should not enter - there is a very touchy possibility of each triggering the other’s rage irrationally in a “fight-or-flight” scenario… Battles away from home you can handle losing as you still ahve that safe haven to go to… but at home if you both think you ought to feel relaxed there - you will fight like demons not to be undermined in that space.If your father is the sort of person that is intelligent and knows the need to compromise, you can start to build a better future. If he is foolish and stubborn, he will not take the opportunity and may double up - but the ball and impetus to improve will be in your court. You may have to quietly work your way out of his house and find independence… this is done better slowly and not rushed into as many youngsters find themselves in deeper trouble if they run away too soon (think Naomi Watts and 3 T Rex’s… after 1 Kong).
Is my friends dad a pervert or am I overreacting?
I am 17 and his daugher is 17 also. She's my good friend and she still calls her dad daddy and when she says it she says it in a whiney sexual voice. I told my dad and my dad said no girl over the age of four should ever call her dad "daddy" and he calls her baby. My mom agrees that's weird..and whenever she wears short shorts around the house he comments on how toned her butt is or how good she looks in shorts ect. He also has a 14 year old daughter and he offering them to come sit on his lap and he always touches her arms and thighs. Last night our families got together at her house and we went over for dinner/to watch the baseball game on tv and his daugher (my friend who's 17) was sitting on his lap and his hands were on her hips. He's always staring at my boobs, my moms boobs, my sisters boobs and my dad confronted him about it at the table and he acted like he didn't know what was going on. We left and his wife came over and I told her that my family no longer wants to interact with theirs because the dad is such a pervert and she got mad. But I wasn't going to lie. I'm a pretty straight forward person and my parents think that their family is weird. The dad then came over and apologized. Idk I feel like the mom is in denial about everything. I don't want my younger sisters being around him and I sure don't want to. Would you consider his behavior normal?
My dad is overreacting about my grades?
I turn in a SINGLE ASSIGNMENT LATE, JUST ONE, I STILL HAVE A FREAKING A+ IN THE CLASS AND MY DAD IS ACTING LIKE HE HATES ME! I'm sorry, but I just get so mad at him sometimes. I was just taking a nap in my room today and he walks in with his saxophone, plays a bunch of notes and wakes me up in the most unpleasant way possible. He then screamed, "GET UP AND DO YOUR DAMN HOMEWORK! YOU'RE ALREADY FAILING ONE CLASS, DON'T YOU GO FAILING ANOTHER!" I'm starting to, and don't b*tch me out for saying this, really hate him. He comes home drunk on the weekends and curses everyone out for leaving a freaking pencil on the table. I have no idea what to do about this ******. My mom knows he does this crap too much but she's too afraid to do anything about it.
My dad overreacts to everything!?
So i was at my best friend Tiffany's house yesterday and today my friend Marie and I were just going to hang out outside today if my dad said okay.So he plays this game on his computer called like Rome or something.He hates it when people talk to him while he's playing it.So I walked in his den while he was playing his game and he started freaking out!He was like,"What?Oh God Damn it what do you want?No.The answer is no!" I was like,"What the?I didn't say anything!"Then I just left.And the problem is he does that no matter what he's doing!I'm sick and tired of it!And you know what?It's happened so much that I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!What should I do?I've tried talking to him but he won't listen and he just yells some more!Oh and he has high blood pressure and wonders why.I'm getting really mad now.What should I do??
My dad used to acknowledge to us that our mother overreacts in discipline. Is this bad parenting on my dad’s part?
That's business to be solved between your mom and dad. If they have marital problems, they need to learn to work it out on their own. You cannot do anything except leave the room or house if their arguing is annoying you.
Was my father overreacting when he saw me kiss a boy?
I would normally say, the bond between a father and daughter is as special as the bond between mother and son. It's difficult to see that little bunddle of joy become a grown up. As a father, you have a job to care for your children. To give them all you can to prepare them for adulthood and to give them the best in the way of chances. By the same tolken, there is nothing that prepares parents for the day when they have to let go. We have such hopes and dreams for our children and often we see that anything is possible. Sometimes we can loose sight of the fact that they have to make thier own way in the world and become what they will. Having said that, from the details in your question I am greatly concerned. From what you say this sounds like an abusive household. Abusers are often very controling people (that's how abuse takes hold) and from what you say it's not just you that is on the receiving end. To say he took advantage of you may sound as though you were not strong enough. Cass I want to assure you that any form of abuse is wrong and is in no way your fault. While your parents may be responsible for you they do not own you. Cass you are a person, not a piece of property. You have dreams and hopes, many still to become real and you should never give up on those. Many of us fear for our children. I remember the first time my daughter fell and grazed her knee. I felt like such a failure, I let this happen to her. For a day or two I was being over protective. I realised though that I could not have prevented the fall. It was something she was going to experience at some point in life. Cass from what you say I would ask that you speak to some one who is trained and is a proffessional about the abuse you are enduring and surviving. If you can, speak to your mum about what is going on. I would like to assure you Cass that abuse hates being talked about because talking breaks the cycle. Above all Cass be safe and be the you that you are meant to be. Good luck
My dad ripped my shirt right off of me?
We were eating dinner as a family and my dad kept getting angry at me because I kept wiping myself with my shirt. I didn't have any napkins and I kept making a mess with the food so I just used my shirt. When my dad started yelling at me for it I yelled at him back to get me a napkin then. Then I yelled at him and said why does it matter so much if we can just wash the shirt anyways. Then that's when he got really upset and forced me up out of my chair and just tore my whole shirt right off my body. Then I got in so much trouble that I had to stay in my room for the rest of the day. Do you think that was right of him to do this? Don't you think he overreacted just because I was using my shirt to wipe myself? Because of what he did now I have to buy a whole new shirt.
