Context me a 15M had friends over at new years while we were play cards against humanity, I was was complaining about my cards being crap and my dad 47M said I was being a brat. I brushed past it then we played the original Mario bros and I was kinda complaining that I suck, then my father said that I’m just a complainer who looooves to complain and crap like that. It left a bad taste in my mouth but I ignored it, but tonight we were playing life and he was drunk and high af. He kept making jabs at me like saying I get everything I want, and that less kids the better, stuff like that. Then he called me greedy because I had to take 10,000 when he spun a 5 and then he said “youre greedy, greedy greedy greedy” then I was done with it and I called him an asshole and a cunt then he went into the garage and I took his chips and went into my room.
What did i just read?
I kinda zoned out after 4-5 sentences I don’t understand half the thing I read
A kid complaining a lot, then being told as such, complaining about that, then kid trying to make his dad seem like an AH and complaining about it, stole his stuff
Succinct. I like it.
What?

You can’t control your father, but you can grow the fuck up. 15 is too old to be acting like this.
That’s what I figured, I just got annoyed and tired of him doing this over and over. Thanks
I’m not sure if you’re an asshole here but I will say, your reaction to your dad being crappy sure is immature. You can choose to let him get to you, or not. I personally would vote not.
Stealing his chips out of the garage is just weird.

I’m just going to come out and say it:
Sounds to me like your dad is tired of your self deprecation (there is no disagreeing that he can handle it better). This seems to be something you do a lot (at least when your friends are over). Maybe he just overhears it a lot and he’s tired of it.
I have dealt with friends like that and it gets annoying as hell to hear someone shit on themselves all the time especially over a fun game. No one cares if you suck just have fun and spend quality time with people.
And what he said during the Game of Life was really tame to warrant such an outburst from you.

Your father sounds like a sore loser, which seems like it may have rubbed off a bit. He shouldn’t be lashing out at you while drunk because he got unlucky in a game. You, however, do sound like you complain a lot if you’re complaining that much through that many games. Self-deprecating humor is one thing and is fine in moderation, but even that can grate on those around you after a while if you’re doing it through multiple games. Stealing his snacks because he pissed you off is just petty and immature, especially for a 15yr old.
YTA. If your dad is at a point where he’s telling you straight up that you’re complainer, brat , greedy, or something else along those lines, you may want to look introspectively and assess whether or not you have an opportunity to approach situations and things in life differently.
Also, calling your dad an AHole, C*nt, or anything of the sort, instantly makes YTA.
YTA for stealing chips, and for stealing every redditors time that tries to read your post.
I think you might be high like you accused your father of being.
