Today, my dad is going through a midlife crisis. He now wants to be less like a dad and more like a "best friend" to me. This mainly involves him constantly texting me, sending me stuff on Snapchat, and saying stuff like "wicked cool", "bazinga", and "swag" every chance he gets. FML

Parents are meant to be parents, not friends.

Hey at least ur dad doesn't say dope and all the other

In a way its sweet he is just trying to connect with you. But I would not be enjoying that too much either. You can have plenty of friends but you only get one or two parents and thats what they should be;you need a dad not another friend. Plus anyone who says "swag" or "yolo" should be shot lol :)

Politely tell your dad that you are happy that he wants to spend time when you, but also establish some boundaries. Also let him know that the kind of slang he is using is embarrassing to you and doesn't help.

Give the guy a break! It, like, totz happens to a lot of us hashtag-"old guys." My "Bazinga" t-shirt was much cheaper than the Ferrari I was jonesing for, right? YOLO has a whole different meaning when the end is in sight.

Sometimes realizing that your dad is going through this and going to should be a compliment. Hang on to that love all the time you get with him

It's probably just a phase and he will grow out of it. Seriously, try and enjoy spending time with him, you're very lucky.

Better than my friend's dad who gripes at everyone, complains about everything, and doesn't want to have fun

take it easy your dad. yes he probably being annoying and yes you wish he would stop but when you get a little older you will figure out he is just trying to find a way to spend more time with you anyway he can
