Do you think this is fair !?

Question

My father goes, and just out of the blue ( because he's drunk and on a hangover, most likely) says to me when i came out of my room " oh look it's the big baby, wanting mommys attention, always im competition, the big baby" etc etc to me. My mom was there and she was telling him to go to bed cause he was being stupid. And then as he's walking up the hall he goes " all she is just one big ******* baby".

I then said " at least im not a p rick like you ". Which im in trouble for now. .Then while he's in his room, i hear him say " the f ucken *** hole". Now im not complaining or anything, i just want to know if you think this was a fair thing for me to have said? Considering, i didn't do anythign to make him say this, other than saying that the show was half over and that i didn't want to watch it. And shoud i now be grounded in my room for the night? Thanks so much!

Answer 1

Your father acted exactly like what you said he was, so grounding you for saying the truth is not fair. The same rules about language should apply to parents and children.
I hope you get something fun to do while in your room tonight.

Answer 2

Whether right or wrong you will lose on back talking a parent. I would say he deserved it, but deserving aint got nothing to do with it.

Its not fair or unfair, its just life.

Answer 3

I am sorry to hear this, it sounds like you have a less than cool father.

Answer 4

That is so horrible your dad talks to you like that. I really hope you don't ever believe whatever he says, because it all won't be true.

Answer 5

I probably would've said worse. Good Job!

Answer 6

you're fathers an alcoholic. go to your school counselor and talk about it. they'll help you.

p.s you did nothing wrong sweetie. you're a good kid!
