Ah too top things off
when i got up my Mum told me about my dads latest annual rant/ male period.
What ever you call it.
Now i dont know whether or not these things should be discussed on here, but i feel quite strongly that you guys will understand where im coming from.
Basically; for reasons unknown to me or my family my Dad has annual out bursts; he claims he's un happy with everything and wants to leave both me my mother and my brother.
Now as for us as a family were pretty close, my Dad shares a big big interest in cars like me and we work on both our cars together.
Now on boxing day, for no reason at all; he openly accused my brother of doing hard drugs. My brother has a past with drugs but moved back in with us 2 months ago and since has been completely clean FACT. now me and my Mum know this simply becuase how he's changed as a person over the last 2 months, he's happier and healthier and slowly on his way to get his life back together. But boxing day for no reason my Dad openly accuses him for no reason; so as you can imagine that caused a bit of up roar.
Later that night he left the house (i imagine to go drinking) only to come back and confess his unhappiness claiming we dont spend enough time together as a family....
Now as i stated above me and my Dad share a common interest in cars, and during the christmas holiday spent hours upon hours doing lil jobs on both our cars, so i feel like i spent alot of time with him.
I even suggested that we all go see Avatar at the cinema as id heard it was great (and my dad loves Camerons films) 'No' he said; why? because apparently he cant stand the cinema cuz of all the noise of other people
Anyway cutting the story short he played the same stunt last night apparently when i was out claiming that.
'He cant take the pressure of being a father anymore' and that 'We dont spend enough time together as a family'
Now baring in mind that me and my brother are 21 and 23; i have a full time job and am soon looking to get my own place, all in all im starting to live my own independent life, surely the main 'pressures' so to speak, with being a father come more in the teenage years??
And as for spending more time as a family; he's the mardy tw@ who doesnt want to be socialable with his family. Urgh
For once in my life i actually wanted to smack my dad square in the face.
Rant 2 over
Morale of this? in a few days time everything will be fine and next christmas/ new year the same sort of thing will happen. The sooner i move out the better!
