This is more of a rant, and not expecting a reply as such.
I've just been out for a meal with my parents to this really posh place, and had a really nice time. My parents had a bottle of wine, and as well as this my Dad had 2 pints of bitter. After the meal, my Dad went to watch the cricket, and had obviously had quite a bit to drink by the time me and my Mum went to pick him up. Tonight we are meant to be going to a 21st birthday party of some friends of the family, and me and Mum were just joking how they should just put him and my uncle in the corner away from everyone else, when I said "Don't embarass Tom and Charlotte on their birthday" because I know he'd had a bit to drink already and there will be alcohol there tonight. Anyway, my Dad got totally out of order and started swearing and shouting at me about how its he wont embarass anyone and its none of my business how much hes had to drink. Fair enough it isn't but when I know a lot of people going tonight, I don't want my Dad to make a fool of himself or me. He continued to shout and swear at me for about 5 minutes by which point I was shouting back and crying; I never shout at my Dad because he'd not put up with it. I even called him 'an arsehole' and a 'knob head' which are totally deserved seeing as what I said to him didn't really consitute a slagging match. I'm almost 20 years old for crying out loud and my Dad shouts at me as if i'm 5 years old. It really narks me off!!
