Am I missing something? Why would you cry over one and not the other. Are fathers not supposed to be as close to their sons as they are their daughters.

I teared up when my first child, a daughter, left the house for college. Dry eyes for the next two girls, and for my son.

Yeah, I cried for all 3. Especially when the last one left.

Tears of joy flowed freely for 2 days + I screwed their momma on the living room floor in front of the fireplace @ 10:00 a.m.

My wife and I will be fine. We genuinely enjoy each other's company and spend much of our free time together now. But it will be weird having no kids in the house.

It is unclear to me why you would find it strange that a parent might feel emotional when their child moves out. It’s truly unclear what the sex of the child has to do with it.

Did y'all always have a combative relationship or is this new?

Man I was total shithead to my dad as a teenager but he's been my best friend since I was maybe 23.

Because he had to start mowing the lawn and doing household chores.

My dad hired a yard guy a week after I was gone

Do none of y'all have Godparents? I didn't know this was such a strange concept.

Not until he grew pubic hair. A phenomena occurred as when he reached puberty all of my life experiences and knowledge went out of my head. Argue or flat out ignore me on anything and everything.

I grew him up too fast. Tried to make a man out of him and created someone who is very recalcitrant.

No interaction can go smoothly. It is like breaking a horse for the first time,every time. We can’t operate on gentleman standards. It’s ugly.

I can’t do it anymore. Worn out. Exhausted.

Have y’all ever heard of BFC staying in bed till 10 AM ? Haven’t even been outside yet and I’m usually outside every morning eagerly waiting for the sun to come out.

I just want to be kind to people,do what I can for others and enjoy life.

The way I feel is really fricking with me because it’s not the real BFC. I’m tired of combat.

He’s a very good person. Him and I just can’t get along as gentleman. I’m pissed,heartbroken and just don’t know what to do.

He is my accountant. He has a degree. I also have a CPA. Ten years ago I had to send 60,000 dollars to the IRS because of their frickups.

Today we are arguing because I want to implement an accounting system to pay our quarterly taxes on time. Four frickups in the last two years. He wants to argue with me.

I have a buyer and I think I’m going to pack up my truck,hook up a boat and take off.

Maybe never come home. Disappear if I can. My Moms Dad did it. Picked up and disappeared. I never knew him. Really don’t think I have anything left to lend to this world.

Considering my son stabbed me, nearly killed me. I'm glad I have no care for him. Good riddance.

Man I feel for you. My biggest fear is losing the relationship I have with my son and daughter. We all get there are bumps in the road even my dad and I have bumps but we still keep things civil.

I don’t wanna be my kids friend I just want them to respect me and I want to watch them blossom into adulthood and make the right choices in life.

Not really on the first three that have moved out.

I did cry when my 3rd son got his Airborne beret and officially became a Night Stalker - more tears of pride.

I did cry the morning my oldest got married - he gave me a letter thanking me for raising him, and giving him his passion for the outdoors which has allowed him to make friendships with everyman who was standing with him for his wedding.

That hit hard because when I was taking him hunting and fishing as a little kid it was simply to spend time with him and not to "form" him into an outdoorsman. Sitting here now, I wish I had done it twice as much.

We can’t keep things civil. I’m sad to say that my son has no respect of me or my knowledge anymore. Will oppose me on anything.

Last year he set up an extension ladder against a picnic table that a customer was sitting at. The person was no more than two feet from the base of the ladder.
He climbed up to do somework above her. He had a handful of iron tools in his hand that he could have dropped and hit the lady. I shut it down,asked the lady to move. He started arguing that she was OK because he wasn’t going to drop anything. That’s unsafe and I don’t tolerate stuff like that. None.

But I have had to do that shite every job for two decades.
I’ve had enough and I want get in the yard and settle up.

Sounds like he’s very defiant and presses your buttons.

It’s a test, you be the bigger person and show him you’re the alpha, if you have to kick his arse, kick his arse but at least let him know you still and will always love him.

Even Jeffery Dahmers dad stuck by his side till the end.

There’s something about the father/daughter relationship and the mother/son relationship. I don’t know how to explain it.
