Priorities

Today, my dad was supposed to come see me for our twice-a-year visit. He was 3 hours late. So I called, and asked him why he was late. He said, "Oh, something came up." I asked him what was so important. Apparently, the garage needed cleaning. FML

Today, my dad lied and said he was busy working, all because he didn't want to see me. FML

Today, I got home late to find my dad outside mowing the lawn in the dark. I told him the neighbors were going to think he lost his marbles for mowing it at that time. He then informed me he wasn't mowing it, he was vacuuming it. FML

Today, my dad asked me to help him buy a laptop by searching online. He explicitly said, "When you have time." I decided to shower as I had just woken up. While showering, I was startled by loud banging and my dad angrily asking why I wasn't looking for his laptop. FML

Today, I went to meet my dad, who I haven't seen in years, at a convenience store. He didn't show up, because the location was "inconvenient." FML

Today, my dad called, saying he was in town and that he wanted to see me. I was excited, thinking he wanted to come see my new apartment. Turns out he just wanted to borrow my Xbox. FML

Today, I had an appointment. After 2 hours of waiting in the sun, my mom finally picked me up and lectured me on how irresponsible my dad was for not communicating with her. Not 5 minutes after I got home, my dad showed up and gave me the same exact lecture about my mom. FML

Today, I was having my birthday party. My dad showed up late, blind drunk, and drove his car straight through my garage door. FML

Today, my dad came home roughly 3 hours early. He came back because he was laid off from his job, because there was no work for him on his current shift and they haven't found a replacement shift for him at the job he's currently at. Shouldn't they have figured that out in advance? FML

Today, I was working at our garage sale with my dad. I sat outside for 2 hours, talked to three people, and sold nothing. My dad came outside and got angry at me, so I told him to give it a shot. He sold 3 things to the first guy who walked in. FML

Today, my dad came to visit me. By visit I mean he arrived, took a huge smelly dump and left. This is the first time I've seen my dad in months. FML

That's sad. He could have showed up on time, brought you to his house and made you clean the garage. Why did he have to hog all the fun for himself?

He's not your father; he's the man who gave birth to you.

At least he loved you enough not to make you clean it out for him.

#4, r u really calling the op self centered cos her dad ditched his daughter, who he sees only twice a year, for a garage that could've been cleaned later? of course he could've been lying and was really just doing some other thing, but still. "psh, **** my daughter, i need a clean hosue" i hate neat freaks. op. im sorry. hes an asshole.

jeez im so sorry about everyones daddy issues. a new man will hopefully come into your life and make up for lost love. if your dad was paying child support consider yourself lucky. anger can last a lifetime , is it really worth it ? i know its hard but dont be mad at someone who helped raise you in some way.
