Don't see how this means that he doesn't treat you like an adult.

When I called my mom a bitch and he punched me for real. Probably 15 or 16.

When I got my first "career" job and then even moreso when I got married.

I judge this by how much he financially supported me through the years and how it changed each year. Now he wants me to pick up the check at dinner sometimes

I'm 28 FWIW.

My dad vacillates between treating me like an adult and trying to be the dad he forgot to be while he was depressed and worried about his own shite while I was growing up.

"Dad I got a new job with a fortune 500 company paying me 50% more than my current job"

"you sure it is a good move?"

oh yeah I forgot you have been working the same soul crushing job with no promotion for your whole life so doing something different and taking a chance is not in your DNA.

Love my dad but he is more of a friend who happens to be my dad than a father figure.

I'm 45, my dad is 79. Hasn't happened yet.

I am not allowed to drive the tractor or operate a chain saw if he is around. However, over the last few years I have been able to be promoted from simply measuring (because I could see the tape measure) to using a hammer as well.


I think he may be a little disappointed in me.

Getting a job at 9 doesn't mean you aren't soft tough guy


What exactly were you doing at 9 as a job just curious

I remember it plain as day. I was 14 and started getting too smart for myself. I said something smart to my mother. My dad approached me and asked if I thought I was a man. I told him yes. He asked if I was too old to be spanked. I said yes.

He then told me since I was a man, he would treat me as suxch. If I ever mouthed off to my mom again, he would punch me in the face, like a man.

I never did it again

To this day, I don't think I have ever driven my father except when I took his keys for being too drunk to drive.

My mother told me that the only time she was ever allowed to drive was when he came home from the hospital.

Anyway, I don't talk to my father. He is a giant jerk. He never really treated me like an adult, but he really doesn't treat anyone that way. pisses my sister off to no end.
