My dad keeps bothering me and he's getting on my nerves. He does silly things and acts like a little kid sometimes. He comes into my room and annoys me. For example, sometimes he just stands in my doorway, pretends like he's eating popcorn and says stuff like, "Wow, what else can you do?" He makes up silly nicknames for me and does alot of other irritating things. I ask him to stop, I ignore him, and sometimes (most of the time) I yell and scream at him. He's always been kind of silly, but now that I'm older and since I've been home from college for the summer it seems he's escalated to SUPER annoying. My mom says he does that because I don't talk to him enough. But how can I talk about anything serious with him? What can I do to make him cool it?

Thanks everyone for these great answers. Except for you, God, geez... Sounds like someone's getting a little bored up there.

Dude, I know where you're coming from. Partially, I'm sure that you just notice it more because you've been away from it for nine months. Also, your dad is probably trying to convince himself that you're still a kid and that you'll be around forever...because he loves you. You probably need to sit down with him and tell him how it is. If that doesn't work, I have no idea. Tell your dad how you feel. Don't expect him to be "perfect" right away because a long habit like this will take awhile to break. Just talk to him. Believe it or not, he's an adult...he has to take most of his life seriously...this is probably just an escape. See if there's anything "fun" you can do with him that doesn't annoy the crap out of you. Good luck!

The factor is. . . Without your dad's assets you might both die or discover earnings. I'm guessing you might decide on earnings if it got here to that. You must humble your self and take a lesser task to compensate your dad on your costs within the apartment. It can be well on your resume to have a present corporation and your dad might see a few exact attempt to your facet as you drag your self to an undesireable employment problem daily. He will without doubt sympathise with you plenty extra. That being mentioned, do not stop looking on your dream task. You did the paintings, you deserve the gift. As quickly as you discover the task your wish, stop the crap task and on no account seem again. Good good fortune!

My dad does the exact same thing only when i try to tell him something serious he makes a joke about everything like whatever i have to say isnt important enough to actually listen to.Tell your dad your not a child anymore and that he doesnt have to act silly for you to like him.Tell him to talk to you like a human being and stop kidding around so much because it annoys you and dont forget to ask him why he does it all the time.Maybe tell him hes not that funny if you have to and ask him to cool it.

Dads are that way. Yeah, mine gets on my nerves too, but I try hard to be patient and cherish the moments, dads are not around forever.
Maybe offer to spend some time with him. Maybe you two can go eat somewhere or go see a movie. Maybe he really does just want your attention. He probably really missed you when you were gone.

In my opinion yoy have 2 options: bahave the same as him, or act seriously.
Some quotes:
"You yell at your father?!! Lil' boy, if i were your old man i would have called Super Nanny" (or something like that).
"Seriously, stop acting like that. Show some respect. If you yell, it means that you two are really close, so he can do his act.
Another idea is to act seriously...like in the army: don't go chewing gum, and with your mouth half opened: "hi d..ad..." and disappear. Go to him and say:"Good morning dad!", with a serious voice. "
btw, the author of these quotes is...me :P

Sit down with him and explain to him that his behavior is annoying to you because it makes you feel like a little kid...and that if he keeps acting like that, you are never going to feel comfortable talking to him...hopefully he will stop acting like a kid...but even if he doesn't, just remember the reason why he does it is because he loves you...you are lucky to have your dad with you, a lot of people don't even have a dad...or one that cares.

He does it because he loves you and is trying to find ways to spend time with his daughter. Spend time with him outside the house and he will bother you less inside the house because he will have had the need to spend time with you already fulfilled by previous activities. Then you can proceed uninterrupted at home.

Well if your dad doesn't know you well enough to understand that his affectionate attempts to get your attention bother you then maybee you should hang out with him more so that he can get to know you. I would be willing to bet that that is all he wants to do anyway. If I wer you I would cherish every minuite with your dad that you can get. They are not around forever you know.

Talk to him and tell him how you feel. Don't let it escalate to a point where either one of you feel uncomfortable.

He wants to be your buddy. Try talking to him when he's in a more serious mood.
