What is TDS?
Trump Derangement Syndrome. This guy cut his kids off from their Paw Paw because he doesn’t love Trump enough. Classy.

He wasn’t around a lot (working) when I was young but we did do things when he was off. Fishing, hunting, working on engines, taught me to weld, how to use tools, basically everything I can do now he taught me.
At work I’m the one they get to “redneck” things or use machinery.
He was a little rough during my teen years but I was a hothead know it all so I needed that.
I think me and my dad have always been friends to a certain degree but once I had my son I realized how hard it is to be a dad and what it meant and I understood him better.
Father first and then a friend until I turned 23
Friend first and father next after 23
He calls every other day or so just to talk, complain about my mom, and to see how I’m doing.
He’s a great grandfather and my kids would learn a lot if they’d go over more but after my divorce they see them less and less
He’ll be 76 this year and I really need to go see him and my mom more but work and life always gets in the way. It’s gonna be hard when he passes a large chunk of my life and one of the only people I can truly count on for advise, how to fix something, or just to laugh and call me a dumbass when he sees some of the stuff I’ve done or about to do

He’s still a hardass to me, but I dont mind. I’ve become one myself

28. After a decade of debauchery following around widespread panic and phish with rampant episodes of drugs and alcohol I hit my rock bottom. It was more of a mental rock bottom vs say losing house/car/job type stuff but still was a crazy moment for me. I finally cleaned up my act and everything just clicked once I came out of the haze. Extremely grateful for our relationship but man it weighs heavy sometimes knowing I wasted so much time

He was always Dad. There were things that I could only share with Dad.

Not sure how it was for most of yall, but growing up my dad was a bit of a hardass. Good dude, just strict which is what I needed honestly. We didn't start hanging out and talk to one another as equals (mostly) until I was 25 when my professional life started gaining steam
This exactly.
I love my Dad, he's a hero to me. But throughout my childhood he was NOT my friend or "buddy". He was something much much better, he was my Dad.
After I graduated college, got married, and started my career, he became my friend.

Never

Unfortunately, never. He died right after I graduated college and moved away.

shite I think I learned how to act around my friends from my dad. He’s a very successful man that’s cool as shite but just doesn’t know how to have close relationships with family

23yr old. I was a couple weeks from a deployment to Iraq. We went red fishing out of hackberry.
Now I have a 8,9, and 11yo sons and I hope some day I can be half the dad he is
