Why is my dad like this?
Well my dad is really crabby like all the time and rude. Here are some examples, when we have company over, he likes to make my mom look stupid and laughs at her.But is super nice to our visitors. He tells his friends at work that my little bro and i are so lazy and we dont do any work. I do work at home i always get my chorse done. He always says how hard he works and how the rest of my family (bro, mom and i) do nothing all day and its just another day. When i ask what i can do to help he does not answer me. He just keeps repeating himself. his language is foul and seems to never be in a good mood. Whatever i do is wrong and when i do impress him he just says "well you finally did something worth while." Another exapmly is that my mom came nome from work at 9 at night and he was waiting for her so she could serve him supper. THE FOOD WAS INTHE FRIDGE all he had to do was reheat it. Also i could be on teh other end of the house he will yell for me to turn the light on for him. WHEN HES IN ROOM AND IM ON THE OTHER END OF THE HOUSE..another thing is is he like to help people, like give them money if they really need it but he NEVER helps out with my moms financies..
PLEASE HELP sorry it is long

wow your dad sounds exactly like my dad. except my dad doesn't use foul language. your dad, like mine is a hypocrite. this gets very frustrating over time and creates tension. i have had very similar experiences with my dad so i think i have an idea how you feel. its just the way those people are and you cant change them (unless they have some sort of life changing experience.) i got so tired of him and how hypocritical he was i left when i was about 15. now i am a hell of a lot happier with out him in my life. hope this helps and you arnt the only one /:

That's absolutely crazy! Not all dads are like this, and that's kind of verbally abusive.
I think your dad sounds a little power hungry. He controls your family by telling you guys that you don't work hard enough and insulting and disrespecting you (everyone deserves to be respected) all the while you are doing your part in the household even taking care of him (he sounds like the lazy one).
Maybe you guys could have a family discussion about his behavior, but I would say just stop giving a rat's *** what he says about you or thinks about you. Don't empower his opinion especially when he uses his opinion to embarrass and humiliate your entire family. He's pretty pathetic if he can't even take care of himself enough to heat up his own dinner or turn on the light himself.
