What did your Dad do for you?

Father's day is on the horizon and I was wondering about what you all recall about your fathers.

    My father was caring enough to teach me about sex and insstruct me how to give a proper ********.

    I haven't seen him since I was 19 and if I get him anything for father's day, it will most likely be sharp and lodged in a vital organ.

    I will not say that my father is perfect. Like all people they have their flaws. My father never went to all my karate competitions or piano recitals. Well somebody had to put food on the table. But when I'd be home my dad and I used to do lots!

    During the summer we would go swimming whenever we could. And in the fall him, my little brother and I would throw a football or a frisbee around. Go for walks, and enjoy nature. During the winter, we'd go for hour long skidoo drives in the country side. It was endless.

    My father encouraged and supported basically all of my aspirations and choices I made. He made me who I am today. Strong, generous, attentive and understanding.

    So what did my Dad do for me?

    Everything.

    My dad TRIED to be a good father He was always THERE for me and he always had the BEST of intentions. HOWEVER, he had abandonment issues stemming from the relationship with his mother also racial issues being he is half Hispanic and never really knew his background because he was raised by his white father. So he had issues that were transferred to me which have impacted on me psychologically in a big way i believe which is why i carry some unwitting resentment towards him.

    well my dad used to be an alcoholic and we never got along very well he kicked me out when i was a junior in highschool for having a party at our house and i moved back in 2 months later cause he felt bad. hes the type that yells at me to get things done rarley ever just asks calmly. im 22 now and have been living out of the house for 2 years now and we still fight like cats and dogs. for some reason i still love him I just dont like him if that makes any sense. I know that i can remember him being a great father when i was younger tho.

    My dad is fantastic. He gave the most amazing cuddles when I was a baby, he picked me up when I was hurt when I was a child, through growing up he never moaned when I threw a tantrum, or when I nicked all his vodka when I was 14! Through my 20's he was a tower of strength whilst I chose my path in life, I'm now 31 and have 2 children of my own and he treats them like they are the most fantastic little children in the world. He is amazing and deserves a medal for putting up with the rubbish I threw at him in the last 31 years! (Sorry Dad!)

    My dad is the best. He has always allowed me to make my own decisions and has taught me that those decisions have consequences.

    Growing up I never had to ask for permission to do things, Dad always asked me what my plans were, of course, he ALWAYS knew where I was and who I was with ad if I told my dad I was gonna be home at a certain time I WAS going to be home at that time...

    That's the thing that I most admire about my dad... he has always trusted me to make my own decisions.

    ****EDIT: How come everyone with negative things is getting thumbs up and those with positive things are getting thumbs down?

    he walked out over 10 years age and never looked back, so i guess he didn't do much. He now lives 5 minutes from me and has never bothered to get in contact with my siblings or myself. Sad maybe, but i don't feel like i've missed out. I'm lucky i guess
