I take it everyone gets on with their dad in here...! ? ?? ? ?
I get on with my da yeah - but maybe you two have 'clashing personalities' I know me and my mammy does I don't get on with her sometimes me and my mammy are like complete opposites and yes its hard to get on but we do try our best and its helping a lot these days and i hope you can your dad can find some common ground between you two
I have no idea how to get along with your dad, and I do not know how anyone is going to be able to assist you as your thread does not really explain what the problem is. I do not get along with my dad one bit and I would say I hate him. I am aware of how strong a word "hate" is, but this is how much I despise him. Once I leave for Uni, then I shall no longer have any reason for contact with him, and in my eyes, he will no longer be my father. Please excuse my little rant, the point of it is to let you know you are not alone. :yy:

You would get more sound advice if you pasted this in the Health and Relationships forum :smile:.
What kind of things do you argue about? I don't get on with my dad brilliantly, mainly because we both have such different personalities - there's always something we disagree about, whether it's something on the news or if it's me putting my feet up on my desk :confused:

Maybe talk to your mum if you want to know how you could get on together better?

Are there any girls or guys in here who just can't seem to get on with their Dad? - however much they try?!!

I love my dad - really i do.. It just seems astho we cant be in the same room for 5mins without having an argument....

any ideas how i can make our 'relationship' work?


me and my dad have never really got on and last year my parents split up...but half of it ended up being due to him and me not getting on....he said some horrible stuff like "i was the daughter he never wanted" and "he hated me" etc etc
he even cornered me in our kitchen and then when i pushed him away he tried to do me for abuse...this caused me, my mum and 2 sisters to leave
, i now dont speak or see him one year on but i hope to learn to forgive him over time
-sorry for the story but wanted to show you - if you're not happy with things then tell him...obv i would never wish for your family to split up but does your mum know whats going on?! in what way do you 2 not get on?!
i really hope things work out....if you need more help/advice etc etc then just mail me bk...good luck
