Earlier tonight my brother and I were being loud, singing and shouting. My dad came downstairs and knocked on my door. I thought it was my brother so I opened it, but it was my dad. He said something along the lines of “I can hear you from upstairs. Are you going to get enough sleep?” I replied, “obviously not,” seeing as it was 1:58 AM!! He then changed his demeanor completely, mind you the tone before was funny because my brother was making some stupid fart noises from his room WHILE my dad was downstairs. “You need to watch your tone when you speak to people ESPECIALLY adults,” he says . “You went off on me and were dissing me the other day and you were SURPRISED?!” (He was 15 min late to leave when he said he would be ready to leave and I sighed and told him to hurry up. He told me that I always away have a surly attitude and then I told him that I have a reason to be angry. He legitimately stopped in his tracks to get in my face and speak loudly at me saying “do you want to walk to school?” This was during exams btw. He proceeded to talk to me some more belittling me over how I was surprised that he got in my space and yelled at me over that. I was silent and didn’t respond unless to say “ok”. He then puts a 20 dollar bill on my leg and drops me off and leaves me alone at the place we were supposed to get breakfast at. I cried in the bathroom of the café, ordered my food, and walked to school.) Then he was saying that it makes him angry that I said “obviously not”. He asked if I knew how I sounded and I said sometimes and then he asked if I was like this on purpose and I said no. I asked if I could go and close the door to go to sleep and he said, “are you going to fuck around or go to sleep?” He said some more unimportant things then left. When it was done I went into my brother’s room and asked him why he thought dad went off on me like that, and he IMMEDIATELY said, ”I agree with most of what he said, well I don’t like that he said are you going to fuck around…” and I said, “Wow thanks for saying that.”
Yes, I think that I am unaware of being rude, but I’m purposely rude when I’m angry with someone which happens a lot because I have to wake my dad up every morning and have never been able to rely on him to do anything without me reminding him more than twice. I’m tired of being his clock.
