Very large and feathery
-
He's very nice and caring don't know what I do without him I love my Dad very much
-
The coolest dad I could ever ask for. When he wants to learn something, he takes the time to research and learn it. That's why he knows so much. I wish I could say the same about myself.

I remember him being very thoughtful, not smiling that much, and very generous. My mom was definitely in love with him - she hasn't seen anyone else since. She's not even 40 yet.

Mines a drunk.

Strict, traditional, Asian dad.

4 commentairesHe's a childish, selfish, bullshiting asshole. I don't see him any more.

1 commentaireMy dad is kind of nerdy guy and a little strange at times. I would say I have modeled myself around him since while he is divorced he was there for me. He's a pretty cool guy who really had only a few moments in his life where he should have been morally better but that goes for everybody who has ever lived except for Jesus.

1 commentaireModifié par VerticalGradient : 6/15/2013 4:33:14 PMI don't know. I think he's an alright person but I don't actually like him at all, whatsoever. Eh, he wasn't an alcoholic, never hit me or anything, so I can't complain, but he certainly wasn't an idol. I think both my parents are losers, and they basically would agree with that assessment. Then again, I haven't lived with him in about a decade. I made a decision once that I would never be a father like him, that I would be greatest father and husband ever. I feel sorry for him, 'cause I'd feel terrible if that were me, but at the same time I don't want to pity him at all.

1 commentaireModifié par Jono : 6/16/2013 9:13:46 AMA drunk, went to prison, beat up cops, smoker(Still is), and built schools/houses/stores/roads. I never once got anything for my birthday or Christmas from him. As a matter of fact, we never really did any father/son things together when I was growing up. Going through school and getting good grades never once he told me "good job, son" or "I'm proud of you." Although he did go to my 8th grade graduation which is surprising, but than again thats nothing. When I was little, I would ask him "Will you stop smoking? I want you to live longer" and than he would ignore me. He also refuses to listen to anyone that gives him advice or tells him what to do.

4 commentairesFrom what I gather, he was a bit of a rebel in his teens. Was involved in the whole sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll culture in the 70s. Dropped out of school at 16, got a few odd jobs and joined and quickly dropped out of a mechanic course. Eventually he settled on a joinery course when he was 21. He managed to buy our house for £18,000 but it was basically an empty shell. It's been valued at £278,000 now though so he must have done something right. My family have told me I'm pretty smart but, if I'm smart, Dad might as well be Einstein. Despite his poor education, he's incredibly quick and knowledgeable, and has an innate curiosity about everything. He's got an incredibly sharp sense of humour and he can improvise the most hilarious jokes on the fly. A genuine pleasure to be around. He only really started bringing in the money when I was 9 (from when him and my Mum managed to save up enough money to buy another house, renovate it and rent it out) but now he's done really well for us. He's spent the last few weeks teaching me his trade and how to find houses with good potential and how to make them beautiful (and worth a lot of money), and also to never be greedy. To hop off his dick for a second, he can be quite emotionally unavailable. I don't think I've ever been able to talk to him about my problems growing up. I had to rely on other father figures to teach me how to ride a bike or tie shoelaces or shave. He also grew up in a different time and is starting to get old and therefore starting to get bitter now. I hear him muttering slightly non-PC comments about social minorities sometimes, but I'd never go as far to say he's a bigot. Overall, he's a great man. Everyone I know loves him, he's incredibly smart and athletic and personable and both practically minded and academic. I'd be lucky to be half the man he is when I'm his age.

Modifié par Co M4N : 6/15/2013 1:51:03 PMHe's a good, honest bloke. Got me into a lot of stuff I would of never liked without him, Being history and all the like.
-
He was the strongest and tallest man in the world, in my eyes. The best dad ever. Regardless of the kind of person he truly was to everyone else, he passed away when I was 11 so he'll forever hold that very positive image in my head.
-
My father was a drinker. And a fiend.

1 commentaireModifié par RomanGladiator7 : 6/14/2013 10:53:34 PMA strict hardworking Italian immigrant who raised me right, and told me to always do the right thing and never do drugs. Or else... I am pretty much like him for the most part.

3 commentairesHe's a good Dad, but is very homophobic, racist, discriminatory, etc. Generally pretty good, but it sucks hearing him say that he thinks I'm F-ed up, pathetic, dirty, etc even if he thinks I'm straight.

A mathematician

He's a political genius who has an answer for everything. If he finds something he doesn't know, in one night, he'll be an expert. He's good with cars and household repairs. He always listens to what you have to say, but he'll prove you wrong with 1,000 facts to back himself up. He's a neat freak, and hates when things aren't done [i]just[/i] right. He's wonderful and amazing, but has a slight temper. He is the best dad I could have ever been blessed with and I love him very much :)
