Ok my dad works for UPS and he drives tractor trailors. He works from noon to midnight and he is sleeping when i wake up to go to school so i really only see him on the weekends. Now i get straight A's and am ranked 53 in my class of 600.Even with that all it seemed to do was make him angry when ever i get average grades. he plays guitar and I taught myself to play. But he really doesnt seem to give a crap. My brother and him get along great they work on cars together and just seem to bond better than me. I know that its almost fathers day but thats not what this question is about. I just want to make him proud of me. Someone please help.

Sometimes dads don't know how to show one or more of their children how they feel. My father had nine children yet you would think he only had 3. I worked very hard to "prove" my worth to him only to realize 38 years later that it won't ever happen. He does love me and he sees my worth, but my other siblings "needed" him more than I did. Your dad must love you, but he may not think you need him as much as your brother does. There may even be things he sees in you that he envies, but will never let you know. You make him proud...just stop looking to prove it and one day you will see it in his eyes or hear it in his voice. Let him know you want him to be proud of you and he may let you know what you have been waiting to hear.

Sometimes no matter how hard you try they just don't see it. That is how it is with me also. My parents treat me different than my other sisters to them I am the loser but I have accomplished so much. What I suggest is that don't let it get to you he should already be proud of you for your accomplishments and if he doesn't see them then that's his fault you don't have to do anything else you have done enough. So keep striving for your goals to make yourself proud not anyone else.

You know what, he IS proud of you...really.
He pushes you with school because he knows you can excel...and he knows you will do a heck of a lot better than he ever did...he wants the best for you, educationally...that is how he shows his love for you...as odd as it is...
what you have to come to understand is that he loves both of you guys equally - but differently...because you two are so different yourselves.

is your dad an educated man? college? how about your brother? the only reason i ask is b/c many times dad's who are not book smart and have son's that are, tend not to bond as well. sometimes it's jealousy or a feeling of inadequecy. you can't make someone proud of you. they either are or aren't and i'd bet your dad is proud. he just doesn't know how to express it. maybe talk to your mom about this. she knows your dad better.
