Mob rule

Today, during family therapy, the therapist asked if I believe I'm a good parent/husband. When I said yes, my two sons, my daughter, and even my wife very passionately disagreed. FML
I agree, your life sucks 25 584
You deserved it 12 933

Same thing different taste

Hey, that's why you're there. Just remember that.

I guess now you know you have some things to work on... that's not a bad thing. It's all about communication at this point. I wish you the best though OP.

Well, you're at therapy making an effort to work things out for the family. Now you have something to work on, even if it may not be easy to hear. Listen to why they feel that way and work on it, maybe you do things that are well intended but come across different to your family or something, it certainly doesn't mean you're a bad dad or anything you just need to work it out with your family. My dad is totally like that, he can comes across as such a jerk sometimes, but I know he means well he's just not good at finding the best way to get his message across sometimes, and sometimes it does lead to tension and drama for a bit. Best of luck OP, I hope you can work everything out with your family.

If everyone is disagreeing with you on this, I have to believe there is a good reason behind it. But, as others have said, that may be why you are in the therapy session in the first place.

If they all agree then you must be doing something wrong

There's no point in going if people aren't honest.

your better than mine and brothers. they walked on us. well mine came back but, i never see him. although now a days it doesnt affect me much im too old to care. but hey what can you do you know? any father who stays by their family and doesnt hit them in my book is a damn good dad. just be yourself and keep your family happy if at all possible... even though they probably wont realize it. they are much more lucky than most families now a days. lol gl op

You have scary low standards for being a good parent.

Maybe you shouldn't be a dick. (I marked you deserve it)

What if he's a **** though? Being a good dad is more than just be around and not smacking the shit out of the wife and kids.

Did they at least give you any insight as to why? That way you know if there's something you weren't aware of that you need to work on? Regardless, best of luck with all this OP!
