he's a bit dull but he means well

kthnxbi

I am going to ring him tomorrow and tell him i love him.

/gay incest.

THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS THAT BLACK AND WHITE, OKAY?!

and wiggle wit it.

and yes i do.
im a daddys girl

He's incredibly selfish, and I don't think he really cares about me much at all (if at all). Honestly, I probably wouldn't care if I never saw him again.

He can be pretty good to spend time with, but it doesn't go any way to compensating for the selfishness.

Iz it coz he iz black?

He has really unusual interests like collecting Scandinavian modernist jewellry, is deeply intellectual but also likes beer and football, is ridiculously friendly, really outgoing and generally fantastiche

I mean dad

Has a huge ego and gets offended extremely easily. His opinions are broadcast loudly in the living room as if they're fact and if people disagree he says they're ganging up on him. In the real world he's like a timid little toad.

In many respects he is a bit of a knob, and he is very weird, but I kind of like the weirdness. He's improving with time, he used to be more aggressive and violent but has calmed down a lot.

i hope i never have to speak to him ever again.

I can never relate to people who ahven't got good dads.

He's acts like a big kid most of the time. He also likes cleaning, hoovering and gardening but hates beer and sport, which makes him the complete opposite of most of my friend's dads. And therefore quite popular with them. Which is worrying.

Very kind. I've never once lived with him in my life and so I'm completely utterly different to him in pretty much every way, but I love him very much.

Aren't I nice?

He looks like Treguard from Knightmare, quotes the League of Gentlemen (incorrectly) and got me into brewing beer.

so no

but i dislike my mother far more

We're both stubborn and blunt, and share a great love of Steve Martin films. Although I just watched Parenthood, and decided I'd like Steve Martin to be my dad...

he left when i was 1

but I don't particularly like him as a person. He's very forgetful and lazy and hasn't remembered my birthday since I was 12 or 13. But I have a lovely mother who listens to Beirut and Okkervil River and is quite amazing!

i saw him for the first time in years a couple weeks ago. i said goodbye for the last time, a couple weeks ago. fortunately he lives in another country, so avoidance is easy.

i called him tonight and he was at a Bollywood fancy dress party, which made me laugh. i can just imagine the Benny Lava/dad dancing hybrid.

but my Dad is fucking awesome.

He aint too bad.

we used to argue a fair bit when i was younger but we get along great now. he drinks a bit too much but other than that he's fantastic. yup.

but hes pretty good (not that i would ever tell him that)

he really likes my older brother though, which makes me feel like an accident.

I think maybe he couldn't be arsed to raise me having already done it once with my brother 5 years previously.

i'm turning into my dad, which is a bit terrifying. i love him but i dont want to be like him.

but, by god, he's an idiot.

but then I grew to understand and identify with him when I stopped seeing him purely in terms of his functional role.

and he was a twat anyway.

but it's like we live on different planets now, we don't have anything in common that we can talk about and most of the time he just really fucking annoys me. certain traits of his that i've never liked have become more enhanced as he's grown older and i do find it quite hard to get along with him now.

also some of the things he did while i was growing up, and/or how he dealt with things, are just ridiculous and i'm a bit bitter about it cause if he'd behaved differently in certain situations then both our lives might have been fairly different by now.

We don't share personalities, hobbies or lifestyles, but i make the effort to discuss sporting events, the weather, how successful his last fishing trip was, and where he's going on his next walk.

We watch much sport together - it's bonding time when sport is on.

dick isnt it

I mean, seriously cool - in a dad-sort-of-way.

blatant racism, dubious politics and stupid tempermant, he's ace. he means well.

more like the cheeky mate who'll always get a beer in or muck about. alot more closer to him than my mum i reckon.

but liking him/getting on with him is often difficult. Sometimes he's very thoughtful and kind, but frequently he's stubborn and hurtful. He's done numerous great things for me as I've grown up, but at the same time he's also done several reprehensible things which I just can't really forgive a grown man for.

I get on with him a lot better nowadays, we've both chilled out a bit basically, so thats good. We're not that close, but we definitely love each other. I hope I've learnt from his mistakes and his strengths and can avoid making similar mistakes when I'm (hopefully) a father at some point in the future.

and he's not a bad person... but he's extremely self-absorbed and stubborn and distant and very difficult to connect with and it's not really much fun spending long periods of time with him. so basically, he's exactly like me in almost every way.

But he's more of a friend than a Dad- I lend him money, we go to gigs together and stuff. He used to be quite the alcoholic and I didn't like him then, but then he nearly died and stopped drinking as much and now he's cool. He's incredibly intelligent and knows a ridiculous amount about music, and has all sorts of interesting anecdotes from when he was an angry young man. Despite the fact he sometimes wears short shorts to gigs he's not a bad person by any means.

though it's quite worrying as he wanted to be a record producer but ended up a radio drama sound engineer and is constantly teased by my step mum about how he had such vaulting dreams as a younger man and never achieved them. I hope I don't turn out like that, in the nicest way possible.

eeek. i love Jim though.

But at the same time he's a selfish, immature, arrogant bastard who doesn't really give a shit about me.

He is on holiday in France right now.
