Parents can be funny that way at times..he just wants you to be smart with the money you earn, put some away in the bank to save and take a lil out for yourself ...when you have money and are buying /doing the things you want..he says "you're rich" meaning...he prob has bills left right and centre..and wishes he could 'enjoy' some of his money doing the things he would love to do but can't as he has responsibilites..when he says oh you're cheap...that could also mean many things..He's just looking out for you wants you to have a great life..saving some money to fall back on or to put towards things for the future...not swindle it away all the time. A good rule of thumb when working perhaps is putting 10-15% away of your total cheque and that is to do with what you want till your next pay* The rest goes towards bills if you have any...or is put away as savings for a better future*~
Don't be too hard on your dad. Sit down and talk to him and let him know that you understand him a bit more now......but he has to also let you "grow"up and make your own choices/as well as mistakes and hopefully learn from them.
Have a Safe Great Summer* GoodLUck*

I think your dad is jealous of you. Perhaps if you explain to your dad about the bills you have to pay and other outcome of your money maybe he will lighten up a little. Question your dad about his money. Find out if he has a decent income and offer to help manage his money if he is having problems. Give him some tips on saving money as well. You can tease him about his money.
God Bless

Have a severe sit down-down talk consisting of your dad. talk in a private room, mattress room or study. And permit him understand that it bothers you. lots extra handy stated that executed. suitable of success to you in case you are able to pull it off. you are able to ask him what weight he thinks is optimal for somebody your top, and you will tell him data from a physician or whatever a healthy women persons your top particularly weighs. If this continues to be unacceptable to him, permit him understand which you purely prefer him to end making you sense like **** time-honored once you devour. Then ask him while you're particularly no longer perfect in his eyes as his daughter purely because of the fact of your weight. do no longer yell at him. If he will develop his voice, ask him with courtesy to speak calmly and there is not any reason to yell. If in spite of each and every little thing this he would not substitute, in simple terms pay lease someplace else the place they wont criticize you. heavily, if 9stone = 126lbs, that's somewhat on the slender section isn't it for somebody 5'7"?

Ask him what is going on. There is nothing wrong with having money and not spending it, if you are saving up for something then let your dad know that. Let him know that you don't spend your money on things because you don't need them.

No one can make you feel guilty, only you. Would you believe some dads are jealous of their sons when their sons do well? Time to get up and leave or hang up the phone when he starts with this garbage. Don't get mad.. just cut it in mid stream and say "got to go bye" and leave or hang up.

Ask him what he means. Do you expect him to buy you things when you have your own money? if not then just ignore your dads comments or ask him what his problem is!!

You didn't say how old you are. If you are grown it is none of his business, and you should politely put your foot down.
