Everyone says to always respect your elders..Well isn't it kind of hard to respect someone, who definetely doesn't respect you and doesn't even try to hide it? My dad and I fight a lot and it usually goes away pretty quickly but today something just was said that is just wrong. I was telling my dad that all the money I have in my wallet right now, a whole twelve dollars is because of tips at work. Well then he starts saying I owe him all this money. I asked him what for and it's because aparantly I pay for absolutely nothing. That really hurts seeing as that I am working every single day, not just for the fun of it, but to support myself. I pay for my brand new car by myself every month and I haven't asked for a dime from him. I usually pay for my gas, but last week I had to ask my dad because gas was so high and well my tank was so low. Plus I have a huge car payment coming up. Well he threw that in my face and he told me to give him some money for all that he has given me. Then he told me this is like a operation that we arent really family, i just owe him everything. I told him it's not like that at all, it's not some contract that I had to sign that makes me liable to him for so many years. The fact that he compared our family to a business is really wrong. I told him we're family and you are my dad. Most people would say you are suppose to look out for my well-being till I'm out of the house, but what was I thinking? He told me he is going to start making me pay for room and everything I eat, and well frankily, I'd rather do that. That way he will have no say in what I do and where I go. I know I'm not his favorite, and I've accepted it because I dont want to be. The fact is, since I'm not his favorite and my sister is, he treats me like im worthless..Kinda sucks..He's kicked me out of the house so many times for really stupid reasons: belly-button ring (even though I was 18 when I got it, and then I talked back to him)....He is such a hypocrite and I am losing it listening to him always degrading me. He just makes me so tired..Always something to hold me back
