My dad always thinks he's right and I'm SICK of it?

Question

Even when he's wrong, he acts like he's right. He can say whatever he wants about me and my personality flaws, but when I do the same, he won't listen.

Not too long ago, my parents wanted to go to Walmart and they had to leave quickly because the photocenter was going to close soon. I was planning to come, but I wasn't ready, and usually it takes me forever to get ready (I'm a chick, lol) and I knew how impatient they were about wanting to wait for me, I told them to go ahead anyway because I knew they didn't want to wait for me. I was actually, looking back on it, being considerate that I wasn't letting them hold up on waiting for me otherwise the photocenter would have closed.

So when I told them I shouldn't go, my dad said "Oh, she probably just wants to stick on the computer all day" (in an insulting tone) and I explained to him and told him that he was wrong and I told him the real reason of why I couldn't go (it would take to long for me to get ready)

MY dad continued to refuse to believe I was telling the truth, and kept assuming I was staying home for a wrong reason, I continued trying to explain to him that the truth was I REALLY was staying home because it would take forever to get ready (he should know, I take a long time getting ready for school!)

then he kept telling my mom “Yeah, she just wants to stay on that damn computer all day, that’s the real reason” and it frustrated me and got me really mad.

It made me mad that I had to raise my voice and he started screaming at me to “STOP SCREAMING!” (it was so ironic, because I wasn’t even screaming, in fact HE was the one screaming in my ear)

So I tried to explain to him that it was unfair and a little offensive that he kept accusing me wrongly of something, I told him it wasn’t fair and he didn’t listen to me, he kept believing he is always right and said “Whatever, the main point is you don’t raise your voice, that’s you’re main problem, understand?” and when I tried to point at to him that he shouldn’t wrongly accuse me of something and should start believing that I’m telling the truth more, he kept interrupting me and telling me and forcing me to say I understand how I have such a problem (I don’t, though)

So out of force I said “okay” even though I refused to believe it, and by the time I tried to FINALLY tell him about how he should be more understanding and considerate, he ignored me and went out the door.

It just made me SO mad that I can’t get my point out but he can’t. I’m really, really mad right now. He won’t even listen to what I have to say, but he thinks he can say whatever he wants and I have to follow

Lol, I know there is nothing fashionable at walmart, but for some reason I enjoy going there. Something about grocery shopping is fun for me.

I don't see where you're getting at. It's not that he doesn't want me on the computer (he actually is okay with it) it's the fact he's wrongly accusing me of staying on it as if it's a bad thing and when he's wrong he won't listen.

I'm not even going to bother with you, you're the same girl that posted your picture on here fishing for compliments.

Answer 1

Well, i just want to say something about the people i see in Walmart before i answer anything else -- i see girls in walmart in the pajama pants, and old ratty clothes, messed up hair, and I really doubt anyone pays attention anyway. So, if you'd have just brushed your hair, wiped off your face, and worn what you had on, you'd have been just as "ready" as the rest of the population who go to Walmart.

Walmart is a department store, not a fashion show. thank god.

Hon, you don't have to explain things to your dad. Somehow, i think he continues to annoy you by saying things because you have to rationalize and explain everything.

Ignore him.. and smile and just say something crazy when he gets weird, like "i love you anyway!". that ought to shut him up.. he might even faint!

Parents for ya lol. It's hard for parents to believe in their children or have any trust if there has been misleading events in the past. Another thing about parents is "They are always right"! lol. or so they think. It isn't easy for our generation of parents to except when they are wrong or to say they are sorry...... but it will come. Be patient and when you want to make a statement timing is everything. Good Luck

Answer 3

**** parents. Count until the day you run off to college and start having fun with your life. Don't worry; your parents will burn in hell soon and you will watch them :D

Answer 4

Put it this way. You only live with your parents for a fraction of your life. Once you move out you can completely ignore your father, and then when he's really old and wonders why you don't visit him in the rest home, you can be a total bi+ch to him. You see? Children always get the last word.

Answer 5

He just hears what he wants to hear. Some people are like that. Treat it like you're hearing a drill sergeant yelling at you-- in one ear, out the other, don't take it personally. One day you won't live there anymore. Try to find other ways to bond with him, like activities, if possible, so you'll have some good memories.

Answer 6

When it comes to the computer, tell your dad he's the man of the house and if he's wanting to keep you off the computer, instead of accuse you of being on it, he needs to get on there as administrator and freeze any use tell he thinks it's ok.

Answer 7

Get used to it. It doesn't change when you get a job. Many men are like that. They are too stupid to realize they are jerks. Find a way to ignore it cause you can't fix it. Just know that the problem is strictly theirs and not yours. Save your energy for more important things.

Answer 8

Dads have a hard time with their little girls growing up. Maybe you and dad need to spend more time together, or actually have a "talk" with each other. Maybe you need to "include" dad more in your life. I know he makes you mad, but someday you will be grown and gone and you will miss your nagging dad. Dads don't like to admit their wrong and they do think they are always right--especially when it comes to their little girls. Maybe mom can help. Talk to him.

Answer 9
