Just clarfying. I wasnt acting like a child, I was supposed to be going out of a town for an important (but optional meeting) as well as to visit a few friends and attend my ex's birthday.

fathers always want to protect their daughters and refuse to believe that they actually grow up and become their own person. don't take it personal your dad just loves you and you will always be his little girl. if it makes you too mad just let him know he needs to lay off a little bit.

Some parents have a hard time recognizing that their kids have grown up.
Act like an adult. Be responsible. Contribute to the family if you are living at home, such as paying rent and abiding by the rules. If you are away at college then act mature when you come home. Don't give into whining and arguing like a kid.

Why you want to do that? You should feel yourself lucky that ur dad still treats you 12 and thus indicating that he has never tried to snatch your childhood. Due to this u would be always getting your childhood moments to your mind which happens in rare cases say one in a million. If you analyse those moments are the happiest moments in one's life coz u will be free of all the things like no tension n worry whatsoever. Its very important for all of us to maintain some of our childhood qualities to keep yourself healthy even when we grow up. I must congratulate you and advice you to go to your dad and thank him for treating you 12.

First of all I am a father, and I do have a 12 yr. old daughter.
To most of us "dads", you will allways be our "little girls". The best way I have heard this explained was a little song by Buddy Hacket titled "Daughters".
The more responsibility you take on, and do things without being told will help. When you make a mistake, don't hide it, admit to it before he says anything.

Stop acting like you're 12. Its easy to slip into old habits around family. 20 is a hard age bc you're an adult, but maybe he is still paying for school? Or you still live with him?
My best advice if you still need his support is keep your mouth shut. If he wants to look stupid, let him do it on his own. If you are completely independent from him, you need to stand up for yourself in a calm way. Practice saying things like "It is not ok for you to talk to me like this." If you have to walk out on him, do it. Don't make a big scene, just excuse yourself and leave. Let him call you.
Good luck.

you won't. Unless you move out and show him you can make it on your own. You have to be the bigger person, show maturity, and show responsibility. Then your dad will start to see you as an adult, and only then will he stop treating you like you're 12.

Yep, time to get on your own. He's been watching over you for 20 years, and will continue to do so, espeically if you are living in his house. Support yourself, and then you can tell papa that you won't need that advice anymore.

Become 50. Then he'll treat you like 20.

Have a sitdown with your dad, and have a talk about how you feel. He may not even be aware that he is treating you this way.
