Do you respect your Dad

just wondered if you guys respect your dads? i think i have lost ALL respect for him now, he has been unemployed for a long time, nothing physically wrong jsut not really able to find a job, and his english is not very good. thing is he doesnt seem bothered and he is just living, he smokes, he eats, he sleeps, he smokes more and then eats. i think that i am unfortunate to have a dad like him and hope that i never become like him in any way. just cant wait untill i have my own life, my own house my own family!

I respect my dad a hell of a lot.

He's been through a lot in the past few years of his life - and he's also managed to come a long way from the person he was about 20/25 years ago. He's made something of himself and he's got what he wanted from his life. I want to be like my daddy :smile:

No, not at all. He's an abusive, stingy, fat b*stard.

Nope, I respect my mother for putting up with him.
I can't wait to get away from him :frown:

I am closer to my dad than anyone else, and we share a great bond. I have so so so much respect for him that I can't even put it into words... he has done so much for everyone in our family and has often gone out his way to help others. His guidance has made me the person I am today. He's the best :smile:

this is so sad, I love my dad so much, it took me a long time to realize how important my parents are to me! But my parents are both together and both work so I guess Im lucky! I love both my parents and Im sorry to hear you dont have as much respect for your dad. I guess its hard, how about talking to him about how you feel. I mean dont go calling him a lazy so and so but tell him you feel like hes not the father you had and your concerend about him which you seem to be...

My father is dead but I have the greatest respect for him. From being a poor little boy growing up in Africa to becoming an airline pilot I think is a massive achievement, plus he was really damn cool and literally my best friend. I would give anything to be as smart as him!

I do respect my dad a lot (didn't used to!) he has had to work damned hard to get where he is and he's been through some bad times in his career. He was strict but fair and brought us up very well. He is also a brilliant granddad which is great!

If I can find a husband as fine as my dad is to my mum, I'll be happy.
I respect him a lot. I respect both my parents a lot, actually. They've been through a lot of hardships, and they've always managed to stick together, to love and respect each other, and to make life easy - but not too easy - for their kids.

I respect my dad, he is a little old fashioned and not the most hands-on dad but he cares a lot, and is sweet in his own funny ways. He works bloody hard to make sure we can live comfortably, and I admire him a lot. :smile:

No. As most as you can respect a nasty, aggressive, occasionally abusive irishman. He tried to put me and my sister into care, twice... and continues to think we should respect him

Yeah, I respect my dad. He's a decent person - he'll give anyone a lift if they need one, which I think is amazing, and he never complains - and we've got quite similar tastes in music and books etc.

my dad is the best dad ever. his mum is horrible, she never did a thing for him and expects the whole world from him now, his sister died when they were young and he had to fight his way to the top. he knows EVERYTHING. he can do ANYTHING. he always does things right, he has the right logic for everything, and he works so hard to give us a wonderful house and amazing holidays. i couldnt ask for a better dad, hes amazing.
i made him cry once. i was THE most horrible daughter ever and i made him cry for the first time in like thirty years. i feel so bad about that still. but good too because just after that time was the only time in my life that he actually said i love you natalie. hes a great man, i wish the whole world could have a dad like mine. i feel really lucky to have him.
im sorry to hear your dad isnt a good one. hopefully, though, you will see from how your dad behaves, how to be a parent and one day be a good dad yourself. or mum even! :smile:
