Question

Answer 1

What's past is past honey...he's your dad he'll understand that....well he ought to anyhow.
You could either explain how selfish you feel you've been & in future will try your hardest to pull your weight & help out or just say nothing & next time he asks for your help....just do as asked without whining....

Listen Babe....however much you wish to help without the odd moan, you'll probably have more days when you'll still feel got at & won't be able to resist a little comment, that's natural. We all get tired or pissed when someone asks us to do something & we're maybe looking forward to doing something else instead....your dad works hard for you yes! & it's good to appreciate that & let him know as much but don't expect perfection from yourself...if & when you make another mistake just let it go & start anew again.....no-ones perfect....just keep trying to help & love him that's all he ever wants from you anyhow.....I bet he's dead proud of you already.....

▪ Learn to control your emotions. The Bible states: “All his spirit is what a stupid one lets out, but he that is wise keeps it calm to the last.” (Proverbs 29:11) Good communication does not consist merely of complaining. This may only get you another lecture! So avoid whining, sulking, and childish tantrums. No matter how much you feel like slamming the door or stomping around the house when your parents restrict you, such behavior will probably lead to more rules—not to more freedom.

▪ Try to see your parents’ point of view. Tracy, a Christian youth in a single-parent family, has found this to be helpful. She says: “I ask myself, ‘What is my mother trying to accomplish with her rules?’ She’s trying to help me become a better person.” (Proverbs 3:1, 2) Such empathy may help you to share your perspective with your parents. For example, suppose they are reluctant to let you attend a certain gathering. Instead of arguing, you could ask, “What if a mature, trustworthy friend came along with me?” Your parents may not always grant your requests; but if you understand their concerns, you have a better chance of suggesting an acceptable option.

▪ Be realistic in your expectations. Parents are responsible to exercise reasonable control over your actions. Thus, the Bible speaks of “the commandment of your father” and “the law of your mother.” (Proverbs 6:20) Nevertheless, you need not feel that house rules will ruin your life. On the contrary, if you submit to your parents’ authority, Jehovah promises that, in the long run, it will “go well with you”!—Ephesians 6:1-3.

▪ Which rules do you find most challenging to obey?

▪ What points in this article will help you to cope with parental rules?

▪ How can you gain more of your parents’ trust?

When a Rule Has Been Broken

This scene may be all too familiar: You have broken your curfew, failed to do your chores, or exceeded your permitted time on the phone. And now you are facing your parents! How can you keep a bad situation from getting worse?

▪ Speak the truth. This is no time to play the con artist; be honest and specific about details. (Proverbs 28:13) Tall tales may undermine any remaining trust your parents may have in you. Avoid justifying or minimizing what happened. Always remember that “an answer, when mild, turns away rage.”—Proverbs 15:1.

▪ Apologize. Expressing regret over the worry, disappointment, or extra work you caused is appropriate and may reduce the severity of your punishment. (1 Samuel 25:24) However, your sorrow must be sincere.

▪ Accept the consequences. Your first response may be to dispute the punishment, especially if it seems unfair. (Proverbs 20:3) However, taking responsibility for your actions is a sign of maturity. (Galatians 6:7) Your best option may simply be to work at regaining your parents’ confidence.

Answer 3

You said it yourself- SHOW HIM.
Shut your mouth and do not say anything but "Yessir" when he asks you to do something. Get right up immediately- drop everything you are doing and DO what he asks.
And then - do it next time BEFORE he asks.
For example- if he asks you every day to do the dishes- DO THEM BEFORE HE ASKS!
It is everyone's job to keep the house running smoothly. If your dad does work 6 days then you can do chores 6 days without complaining.
