Answer 2

First - Is this a new feeling about him not liking you or is this an ongoing problem? If it is new - are you being hurt? If so - get help by calling the child abuse hotline in your area. If this is not a new feeling and you are not being hurt just remember that parents sometimes get so busy trying to take care of you (ie provide money, housing, food, clothing) that they are tired at the end of the day. Just remember to be yourself - but see if there are small ways to help him be a better parent. It's not that they don't like you - it's just that they forget how it feels to be a child.

Answer 3

First, even though it may not seem like it at the moment, your father loves you.

Second, when the rare moment happens that people don't like you, it isn't your responsibility to make them like you. It is basically impossible to make anyone do anything. You are only responsible for yourself.

Work on liking you. If you like yourself, all others will see how great you are.

And, you know, parents are human, too. They have good days and bad days. They say and do things they don't really mean just like you do sometimes. Talk with your dad when you feel right. Let him know you love him and accept him. He might be looking for approval from you, too.

Answer 4

This question is very sad. I think you should ask yourself why you feel as though he doesn't like you. Did you disappoint him or lie to him? Just because your dad is upset with you doesn't mean that he doesn't like or love you. You have to remember that even parents sometimes have a hard time dealing with having their feelings hurt or being disappointed. Just talk to him, maybe you will understand how he feels and chances are that he may not even realize that he makes you feel the way that you do. Just talk, maybe that will help :)

Answer 5

Like him too and obey him. That's where it begins.... Talk to him more often, and try to understand what he likes and dislikes. Once you've done this, there is no assurance that he will like you, but you can try.

I think he's just cold to you or something, because of something you did he think that is wrong. Your dad is someone who'll always like you...even if you do something unbearable to others. That's mostly what happens. You might feel that he doesn't like you, but usually he does. I hope you and your dad get well with each other....

Answer 6

What doesn't he like about you? Don't put on a show for him or anyone. If he doesn't like you in the first place, it's not worth the effort and he'll probably continue not liking you, mostly for being a phony. In an ideal world, no child would have to put up with this, but this is hardly an ideal world.

Answer 7

What makes you think he does not like you?
Be more specific.
Most Dad's love thiere children. Sometimes they may not like some of the things you do.

Answer 8

understand him. look for the things that he likes and try to make him proud of u. a dad's weak sopt is pride. they like to boast infront of friends give him a reason to boast about.

Answer 9

In some cases just learn to bring him a beer every hour on the hour.

Answer 10

WTF? You shouldn't even be asking this question. poet. If your Dad doesn't like you, then he's an ******. No son should have to put on a show just to get his Dad to like him.
