how do i shut my dad up?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what's going on with you and your father, but it sounds as if he's said, or is saying something that is upsetting to you. Unfortunately, parents often feel it is their god given right to tell you anything on their mind, nice or not. If it is something particularly hurtful, tell him so. He may not realize he is hurting your feelings. If he does and continues to do so, counseling might be an option.

Answer 2

By doing what you are told the first time you are told. By doing well in school, and helping out at home. By keeping your room clean and by keeping your promises. By being a part of the family instead of a burden. By understanding that as long as you are dependent on him, his word is law and your job is to grow up enough to appreciate the fact that he gave you life. By respecting that you don't know the consequences of your actions and are too immature to accept the responsibility of them, and he doesn't have that choice or that excuse.

Who paid for your computer? Who paid for the clothes you are wearing? Who paid for the shoes on your feet? Is the light on in your room? Is it warm or cool? Is there a roof? Did you eat 3meals today? If you walk into the kitchen is there milk and eggs in there? Who paid for the bed you will sleep in tonight, and for the sheets, blanket and pillow on it? Who will keep you safe from burglars and the evils of the world? Who will get up tomorrow and go to a job that he probably could live without, except who would then pay for your needs and wants? Christmas is in a few short weeks? Have you made a list? Will you get most of the stuff or more on it? Brushing your teeth tonight? Who pays the dentist? Who paid for the toothbrush and toothpaste? Who pays for the water running out of the faucet so that you can brush your teeth?

Look around you little man and when you can do what he does day in and day out for an ungrateful brat like you, THEN you can tell him to shut up.

Answer 3

You cant if hes an abuser. You see he migh be getting high on what he says. The high wont last long so he will repeat the words over and over. He wil never admit to it or stop. Its a choice and people like this are really just criminals.

Answer 4

You don't, you are the child he is the adult. And until you move out on your own, you have to listen to them, even if you don't want too. If you want to avoid the whole situation, then stay in your room and you wont have to hear anything.

Answer 5

Answer 7
