My biological father keeps having children he can't be nice to.

My real dad is excellent. Funny guy. Raised me right. Never made me sigh.

no. throwing out something you paid money for is a fate worse than bread ownership.

farmer crack-rear end's dad tales:

- grilling his adolescent son on why the antagonists on children's cartoon "Pokemon" were called "Team Rocket" and then failing to offer any constructive guidance when he found his son's response inadequate

- suggesting that a more sensible approach to grilled cheese sandwiches would be to use the microwave

- calling me into his room and drunkenly asking me to play on my trombone along with the star wars soundtrack he had playing at full blast on his stereo, then being disappointed when a twelve year old boy with only a couple years experience on the trombone failed to intuit the score on the fly

- blasting Genesis so loving loud that it was distractingly loud even with two closed doors between me and the stereo

- talking about how one of my cousins was so dumb he would literally never amount to anything (wrong, totally loving wrong, he's not dumb and he's doing just fine)

- spending a bunch of time trying to figure out how to rebuild his mom's barn into a house

- the cat was absolutely banned from the garage because he might climb up on top of and accidentally collapse the chicken wire-and-plaster "mountain" my dad built on his train set that occupied fully a third of the garage

- spending a huge amount of time and money trying to build a scale railroad (complete with scale steam engine) on his mother's property

- telling his stupid awkward 14 year old son that it was on him if he wanted to stay in contact with his dad after the divorce

- loving up his mom's estate as executor so bad that he almost went to jail

- this doesn't really count as a "sigh" but putting his mom in the dingiest loving care home after her stroke and leaving her there until she died a couple months later, despite that this was - as told to her grandson numerous times - literally the absolute worst way she could imagine ending her life and she easily had enough money to have someone care for her in the house she'd lived in for decades until she died

- totally ignoring his son at his mother's funeral


this is omitting "things my mom told me my dad said that made me sigh", by the way


edit: this is more of a both-parents thing but the heavy smoking was pretty big on the sigh-scale. distinctly remember looking down the hall, seeing the living room hazy with cigarette smoke, and deciding to just play in my room instead. also remember numerous car trips where they were both smoking and had the car windows cracked open as if that made it particularly easier to breathe. really, truly happy that my mom quit.

My family is muslim, my dad drinks. He used to drink with me whenever we are out together but I'm pretty sure my mother knows about it now. When he drinks in front of me he gets weird about it by justifying it and flirts with the bartender.

I drink but No one in my family knows, if my dad was less weird about it I would be comfortable drinking with him.

Other things: when I was in school my parents would yell at me to study. When I was done with school and looking for work they would yell at me to study.

Got a job and they didn't know what to yell at me for then started going after my weight. Now it's get married, even though they cancelled my first wedding.

I hope I don't turn our like them.

Yeah Baby Yeah !
Just a third of the garage huh? I cannot remember a time when my dads chainsmoking rear end wasnt utilizing 90% of my goddamn garage AND most of the backyard with his goony computer setup and 'agriculture' projects that included old egg cartons that were promptly forgotten among tons of other crap.
I had to clean all that poo poo up after he finally moved out.
Watching some loud rear end episode of FNL on netflix after I worked at in a dishpit for 7 hours and the FLIPPING his poo poo after I ask if that would be the last episode because I have to open at my other job the next day. His unemployed rear end was the worst roommate I have ever had. I was so unnecessarily polite to that loser.
Bragging about how his girlfriend before my Mom would let him lick cocaine out of her pussy. Like I wanted to hear that poo poo.
Not wanting to pay an electrician to fix the AC in the middle of the summer IN FLORIDA FOR WEEKS
Creeping on underage girls at various points of my life.
Just putting his hands on me or my brother in general.
Smashing my brothers nice die cast metal cars that he bought with his own birthday money at around age 10.
Just playing stupid in general when asked various specific questions;
"Hey dad is that old broken car from two years ago still in the backyard?"
"Which car in the backyard are you referring to?"
"Any car. Is there a broken car in your backyard."
Just answer the question loser. If your natural instinct that someone is trying to get one over you is triggered by your son then you obviously were not suited to be placed in the role of father and you should not have made that decision for the both of us. But you did and here we are you snake.
Bragging about having hosed so many bitches that he might have kids he doesn't even know about.
God that last one really tempts me to draw his blood.

Look, I just really don't care about all this fantasy or sci fi poo poo. It bores me and I'm just not interested in it. So stop telling me about it.

Also, these books are terrible and boring. I don't care that you read them. Why would you expect me to show any interest in something you like?

My mother is lovely but has some really dumb moments such as :
Turning the water heater off so we could enjoy lukewarm or cold baths or just not bathe, with the goal of "saving money"
Not putting any money in the electricity meter until it was completely out, meaning the emergency credit was also gone, so essentially paying the increased emergency rate for power at all times. again to "save money"
Buying such low quality food that no one wanted to eat it because it "seems to last longer" (she was the only one who would eat it so it lasted however long she wanted it to)
Flicking cigarette ash directly onto the floor beside her with no ashtray or bin or recepticle of any kind to even aim at.
She got a computer and then found herself addicted to online bingo, ending up going hungry for several days in order to afford her online bingo habits while lying and telling us she was playing the "free version"


My father didnt really do a lot to make me sigh, unless you sigh during murderous rage then maybe I'd sigh.

Dad:

Is just racist enough to be annoying but not enough to disown
Has a loving opinion on everything
Hasn’t made a will (at 78)

Mom:
Treats modern medicine as some kind of scam
Loves hippy alternative bullshit therapies

So my dad makes me sigh more than my mom.

Whenever we go to a non-american style restaurant my dad will always start using outdated ethnic slurs, like saying loudly so everyone including the waiter can hear "I never liked this dago/wop/jap/kraut/gook food, why did we come here?" etc. He'll also do the same thing about stereotypically black food like fried chicken but he keeps the n-words a lot quieter and he'll look around to make sure nobody is nearby first.

Mom and dad are long gone but every time I go out for dinner with my aunt and uncle and order anything less than well done, my aunt will suck air in through her teeth and visibly prepare herself for my imminent death. Also trying to set me up with random waitresses for no reason. When I move out I'm just gonna pretend I have a girlfriend so that stops happening
