My dad is always doing what he wants, when he wants. He fixes guitars, rides bikes, etc.
Well, he is being a royal asswipe to me and my mom. He never yells at my sister and we always argue.
He never cleans, and the only two people in my family he is nice to is my sister and his mom.
Hes my dad, I know but hes being really mean to me and my mom, and my mom is getting really miserable about it.
Hes not abusive or anything serious, hes just rude to anyone who disagreees with him.
Help please!!!

Just confront him in a respectable manner. Tell him how you feel and ask him why he plays favorites. If matters are really bad offer to have the whole family go to counseling. Good Luck!

my dad used to be like that. my mom left him and all the kids grew up. I hardly talk to him anymore. He is no longer able to cause me or my mom problems. He hates my mom to this day. Being mean to your family, especially when you're the dad, always comes back to haunt you. They look and act like pitiful puppies when their power has been taken away from them. It broke my dad down and he wishes he hadn't acted that way now. Yet, it's too late. He is the brunt of jokes, not respected, and not taken seriously by anyone. There will be a time when you will have to decide whether or not to abandon him all together. Things change though. You will have to make that decision. If you don't, the situation will aggrivate you. I don't make too much fun of him anymore. He has more than paid for what he did to us. It was worse than what you are talking about. Just remember, he doesn't know it now, but the future doesn't belong to him... it belongs to you. You may not have the power now, but you will later, and it will crush him to not be in control. I'm sad for you. I used to just be really quiet and spend lots of time reading books or alone somewhere. I avoided him. I encouraged my mother to leave him. He never forgave me for that. I was so happy when we left. We left with nothing. I grew up with nothing. It was humiliating to be poor, but there was at least peace.

YIKES! You probably need to let your mom handle it. I don't know how old you are so that would make a difference. If you are in your teens, I would say maybe you should sit down with him and tell him what you are feeling.

Try to understand your father...ask him why he is like that...you will be a Dad someday too. A simple question might explain everything to you.
Good Luck

He's verbally and psychologically abusive. You may want to talk to a counselor about strategies you and your mom could use to deal with him.

tell him how he's acting. if he doesn't change, chances are this is actually verbal abuse and might evolve into physical abuse. if he doesn't get better report him to authorities.
