in a few sentences describe your dad?

Answer 1

My dad abandoned us in the middle of the night, didn't leave a note, and we didn't hear from him for 6 years-when he mailed my mom a wedding announcemet and some divorce papers. Now he doesn't pay child support and lives with his new family in Australia (We're in CANADA) What a picture perfect family!

Answer 2

My father is the best man I know. When I was younger, I used to think that he was uncaring and that he thought he knew everything (as a lot of kids do). Now I know that he is a very intelligent man who worked all of his life for his family. I wish I would have listened to him on many things, I would be in a much better position now if I did. He gave a couple of friends of mine a roof over their head when they had no where to go. He was kind of like Red on "That '70s Show", only quieter and kinder. I can only hope to become the kind of man my dad is someday.

Answer 3

My dad has always been around to protect his little princess (and the two princes too).

My dad always kind of seems like he's angry, but he's really not. He's just a curmudgeon.

My dad has become more like a friend to me now that I am an adult, but I am still his little princess.

I will still be daddy's princess when I am 100 years old, but daddy will be smiling upon me from Heaven.

Answer 4

Hard worker, detached from his children. Didn't participate. Worked, Ate Dinner, and fell asleep in his recliner. After 24 yrs of marriage to my mother, started acting like he was 20 yrs old did drugs, and cheated openly. Divorced from my mother and is repeating the entire cycle again, at the age of seventy. Still cheating on his 3rd wife, and ignores all his children and grandchildren. Lovely Man!

Answer 5

He's my stepfather, actually, he prefers my stepbrother, and he's always protective of him.He is a two faced man, sometimes he is great but most of the times he's controlling, self absorbed, demanding, a pain in the ***, and he always makes my life miserable and i often thought of escaping but the only thing that keeps me going is a chance for a better future because i only have 2 years before i go to college.

Answer 6

My father passed away in 2004. I feel sorry for him as he never saw his five children grow up much less meet his 10 grandchildren. He abandoned us even before my youngest brother was born, never made an attempt to contact us, much less pay any child support. Because of his actions, we were on welfare (the old welfare--cheese line); got evicted several times due to non-payment; went hungry many times; got utilities cut off. We were deprived of a college education. When he died, it was like--chapter closed. I will never forgive him.

Answer 7

Selfish,spoiled,self centered,brilliant but condescending to my mother,felt the owner of every company was not very spoiled,never had life or health insurance but belonged to the country club because he was a scratch golfer.i adored him until I saw the affect on my mother and on him.because he was so intellectually arrogant he lost friends and when he was no longer able to play golf he became very depressed but still not very tolerant. IT taufgt me never to see people an inferior to me.there are many different talents in many different people. I feel sorry for my father who is deceased.

Answer 8

My father was a fine, gentle, caring and hard-working man, with a terrifically deep mind but a quiet way. His interests ranged the entire range of intellectual pursuits.

He was a merchant marine engine room officer in World War II, torpedoed three times. The crews of his ships called him "Lucky Jack" because no one was ever killed or lost in any of those attacks.

Although bright and inventive - he created he first practical fiberglass bathtubs and shower stalls, and invented other products all of you encounter today - he was not much of a businessman. His ideas made others very rich.

But he had no regrets about these failings. Instead, he looked forward to new things, new ideas, and better days. He raised seven children and gave each of us a taste of his own strong, enduring faith in goodness and the ability to succeed. His ideas of "success" were hardly based on money.

Dad was not a weak wimp. He endured a hard life in the Canadian wilderness as a child, went through the Great Depression, and when WWII broke out was a recruit in the Canadian reserves of the British Army. Although he was released from that service for physical reasons (terrible teeth!), he always kept the habits the Army taught him. Each of his kids learned how to make a bed the Army way, and we worked like little platoons of privates on punishment duty every Saturday. My mother was a lucky lady - until all her kids were grown, she never had to wash a dish or mop a floor and there was never a weed in the yard!

We learned honesty, duty and respect from Dad. We learned how to work together even if we wanted to kill each other (there WERE 7 kids in the house!), and we learned how to give up our own interests for the benefit of the whole. We also benefitted in return when we needed support and aid - that was part of the bargain.

I learned how to fix cars, repair pianos, paint houses, make broken plumbing work, and landscape from Dad. But most of all, I learned to appreciate and value myself, and never be afraid to take chances to do alll I wanted to try.

Yep, I had lots of fights with Dad. He WAS wrong sometimes. Looking back, I can see that he was wrong for the right reasons - for love and concern, and from the perspective of his own life experience, which didn't always match the new conditions we encountered. And he could be at times a controlling SOB, too. But he never faltered in his principles of honesty, duty and honor, and he never failed to hold each of us to account for that, too. But when we failed, he was as much ready to be loving and gentle in calling us back to the right path as he was to give us holy hades for screwing up.

Good question. I needed that, thanks! Dad has been dead for 13 years now, and I never fail to miss him when I want someone to talk with.

Answer 9

My dad.... which one...

My father is nice, caring, kind, understanding, a little bit impatient, and a great father figure!

my daddy(the man who raised me) was stern, decisive, guiding, helpful, fun, and leniant. Very old fashioned.

My step-dad is laid back, quiet, somewhat of a pushover, a scaredy cat for lack of better wordage, he's not dominant, he's chickenshit, and he doesnt know how to say no.

Answer 10

My dad was a wonderful, loving man. He cherished his daughters and his grandchildren. He's been gone for 19 years and I still miss him every single day. Happy Father's Day, Dad! xo
