Tetchy

Today, my extremely religious father visited for a family dinner. My daughter had just one job: not to set him off on one of his easily-provoked rants. She nonetheless decided to take a photo in the middle of prayer, because she just HAD to Instagram her food. My father went apeshit. FML

Who cares what food she is eating? She should have been spending quality time with your family and not whipped out her phone. Sorry but she deserved it, you didn't. FYL

Well, if OP usually lets her daughter do such rude things, she totally deserve it.

Ur daughter is a dumbass. And girls take pics for Instagram like every 5 minutes like what the **** is wrong with them? Is it really that ****** important?

YDI for raising your daughter to be disrespectful and disobedient. If you don't enforce good behavior regularly, why would you expect her to start behaving all of a sudden just because there's company?

It depends on how old your daughter is for me to say YDI, because if she's 9 or 10 with a cell (doesn't mean a agree with her having one at that age) then she's probably used to doing it without caring or getting in trouble and is gonna do it whether your dad is there or not. If she's 16 she was probably doing it to push his buttons and it worked. Your dad on the other hand, may be overly religious but that's no excuse to force religion down anyone's throat. Each to their own and like you said he was visiting. His temper tantrum about her phone was uncalled for and using his religion as an excuse to be an ass gives Christians a bad name. I used to wake up at 5 am to avoid my foster moms religious readings of the bible because it got annoying when I was tryna eat breakfast, and still today she gets mad when I have to work and don't go to church instead, or I don't read the bible enough to her liking. So point is, just because your dad is visiting doesn't mean that everyone has to bend over backwards for him because he is religious. I do have to agree though, That your daughter having a phone at the dinner table is incredibly rude. Ok, end rant :/

no, I think the temper tantrum was well deserved. Even if you aren't religious, you can have respect for people who are (and vice versa) she could have waited the minute and taken a picture after. because, you know, people really care what you're eating on instagram...

I don't for 3 reasons: 1. He was visiting OPs house. He doesn't live there and as a GUEST in OPs house, he doesn't have a right to go that crazy over something OPs daughter probably does all the time without care that he's there or not. A simple put that away, we are praying would have sufficed, not going crazy over her when it's not his daughter or house, and knowing that, if he is that religious he could pray under his breath or to himself that way he could still get his prayer in, and his family shouldn't have to bend over backwards to please this guy who's only visiting them for a while. 2. OP should have taken the phone away from his daughter. I agree it's rude to bring out the phone at the dinner table, yes, but if she's used to doing it then him being there is not going to make her do anything different . But like I said it is rude. 3. OP knows his father is religious and should have been prepared for anything. I'm not saying not to invite his dad over ever again, but he knows how each person reacts to certain things so OP could've avoided the situation all together if they had met somewhere mutual, surely OP daughter would keep her phone to herself in public and maybe the dad wouldn't go bananas over the phone. But I could be wrong about this last part, because if the daughters a teen I doubt she'll care about him being there regardless of being at home or not.

I don't think it's fair that your family has to walk on eggshells around your tyrannical father. He needs to get control of his zealotry, and you need to take control of your family. I have the same issue with my father. It's more about controlling you than about saving you from Hell. I told my father, that while I respect him having an opinion, it was his opinion and we will not be bullied in our own home.

Sorry... It cut off. On the other hand, why does she bring the phone to dinner? That is a nono in my house. Dinner is family time. Both parties are wrong.
