How close are you to your dad?

[HotelUser]

How close are you to your dad, and how close do you think is normal to be close to your dad?

[Nemo]

Not at all. He rarely ever visited so i never had that connection with him, he hardly ever talks (probably coz he's just a bad dad, and the fact he knows i want nout to do wit him) and yeah. He's just pretty bad.

Its normal to be as close to your dad as your mum, maybe a bit closer to one or the other. Or atleast having that regular kind of talking to them.

[Keri?!]

Nope, I haven't seen him at all or even spoke to him since March. He hasn't bothered to call or anything and I don't fancy speaking to him as everytime I do, he always seems to moan at me about something :P

[Sarah]

Quite close, I think its because he works away in the week so when he's actually here on the weekends its the only chance we get to speak so we make use of the time we have.

[,Lexiilu]

i haven't seen my dad in 6 years.
he started sending letters (two of them) this year, one was a card that said congrats on graduating 8th grade when really i'm going into 8th this year, so i wasn't happy.
my mother wants me to have nothing to do with him but she said it's up to me, but i know that he's a liar and he's very very sick because of drugs, so i choose not to talk to him either. he wanted to see me this month but i decided i wasn't going to go nor reply back to his letter which was sent around my birthday.

if i could choose, i would want my dad here and to be normal but unfortunately that will never happen. i think it's good to at least speak with your father/parents. you don't necessarily have to be close with them but imo don't take them for granted if they treat you well, there's plenty of kids (including myself) who would love to have a father who actually cared.

[j0rd]

Im quite close to my dad, even tho he has split up from my mother and i live with my mother.
I see him about once or twice a week

[Samantha]

I'm not sure how close I should be to my dad, I think it would make sense for me to be closer to my mum than my dad but I'm not sure.

It really depends my Dad and I can be close sometimes and sometimes he can be closer to my sister. My family isn't normal to begin with :D

[chantellehugs]

I'm not close at all. Him and my mum had an argument when I was about 8, he didn't 'walk out' because he wasn't living with us, but since then I've not spoken to him. It's been about 7 years, I do wish I had some of way of contacting him though, because he's ill at the moment only I can't keep up with how he's doing.
I think if I was close to him I'd be a different person.

[buttons]

i have seen mine 3 times in 3 years, we don't keep in touch unless he feels lonely, he just buys ourr love with money. not really complaining tbh he is honestly the root to all our problems within the family, he lives it up all around the world with his brother's fiance that he's now with & his massive income while the rest of his family struggle and hate each other because of him but that's just men for you.
i was more of a daddy's girl when we lived together but prob only cause i get my good looks from him, not that he's a good role model lol **** that. I spent friday-tuesday with him & just got loads of money spent on me, i guess it makes him feel better but i haven't heard from him since:rolleyes: nvm i had already set myself up for disappointment.
my brother refuses to let him see his grandson, serves him right. men people just throw away everything they have they are so stupid gdi.

/lifestory.



why are men mostly the problem jfc no wonder i hate them, adoption ftw.
i agree with lexi, be greatful for what you have that's why i gave mine a second chance but he blew it again lol see him nxt yr i spose

[Samantha.]

I'm not close to my dad at all, haven't seen my biological dad since i was 5ish and i havent seen my step dad for a long time!

[Rixion]

0% close, never seen him ever to this day!

[Soy]

never even seen my ma

Been me and my dad since birth. He's supportive with my sport, got me in to weights etc and made the outhouse into a gym for me and he used to weightlift.

never get any affectionate moments though cause we too manly dont ever think ive told him i love him or anything

[dbgtz]

well im like the opposite to you, my dads still here and always has but he really irritates me for some reason, just what he talks about and he constantly moans.
is it bad that he has to make me do stuff with him? :P

[Mathew]

Wow, I never realised so many people had it so tough with their parents. You're making me feel guilty!

I'm close to both my parents, they're still together (and have been for 21 years) and I see them every day at home.

[Jessie]

Close. He sometimes really annoyes me but thats normal. He supports me with everything and is always proud even if I do crap in a test :P

[Alexx..]

I'm close to my dad, he's pretty awesome! He winds me up sometimes but thats pretty normal right?

[Jordan]

Not very close tbh :(

[Muct]

I wasn't pretty close to him before he died tbh, I didn't really like him :l

[Shar]

I'm not close to my dad at all. We don't really get along.

i agree, not close to mine, hardly ever see him

[Special]

not as close as my mum but nothing considered 'not normal'

[Art]

Haven't spoken to him in years. He's a douche!

[SinglePringle15]

quite close but he just gets on my nerves

[Meanies]

not at all close.
lives 400 miles away, would rather work at christmasses than be at home with us, did bad stuff to my mum, hurt my brother nd so on
only speak to him physically once a year, then birthdays and christmas for obvious reasons :)

[Slowpoke]

A lot closer than we used to be which I'm happy about. I only saw him a few times over a period of about 8 months (bad past) but see him once or twice a week now :)

[luce]

yeah very close and i have never had any problems with him or anything like that and my parents are still together so yeah long may it continue :-)

[sammy]

Reasonably close, we don't really have much in common so we don't talk much, but I get on with him quite well. Nowhere near as close as my mum though :D.

[AlexOC]

I never lived with my dad, but i when in primary school i always used to go to his after school everyday untill about 6. When i started going to secondary school i used to just come straight home to get on HxF as fast as possible, but i used to try an make the effort to go up and see him atleast 2 nights a week. When he moved in with my older brother who lives just round the corner i used to pop in alot after school or at night.

I was always pretty close, despite not living with him, i never ever had an argument with him or he never got mad at me, he used to be pretty relaxed so there was nothing he would really get mad at, and i suppose i payed him back by behaving........ most of the time.

I think i favoured him over my mum, my mum is alot stricter and nags alot more, but i suppose she only wants the best for me (THEY ALWAYS SAY THAT ITS ALL LIES)

[Narnat,]

I'am fairly close to my dad because we have the same interests and I have the same job interest since he was in the Navy and thats were I plan to lead to. Also because my mum is disabled when I was younger it was my dad who was taking me out ect so it's only normal that I'm close to him.

[Smits]

Close enough to have a laugh, talk about normal things and all that stuff.

[Neversoft]

Seeing as how I live with him as opposed to my mum I would say fairly close. I am a person who keeps myself to myself though, so I am not very close with anyone besides my girlfriend.

[Apple]

Not really that close, live with him and stuff but all he really cares about is the business so has never really had any time for me.

[Frodo13.]

Not close at all, even though my parents are still together. My Dad was, and still is a very strict, and in my opinion cruel parent. Up until I turned 16, if I didn't 'behave' in the way he wanted me to, I would be made to take my t-shirt off, he would take off his belt and whip me all over my bare back with it. I've never really forgave him for that.

[wiktoria]

I live with my dad. I see him everyday but we don't really talk that much

[Sharon]

I feel way bad because most replies haven't even seen their dad :S

We're like really close like talking daily joking and stuff so yeah, close.

[immense]

me and my dad get on well

[MrPinkPanther]

I get on pretty well with my dad. Like we talk and stuff.


me and my dad get on well
not as well as me and your dad ;)

[Phil]

Fairly close but not close enough to tell him I'm bi.

[Richie]

Its pretty crazy how like 20% of the people in this thread don't have a relationship with their dad. Me and my dad were kinda close I guess, would see him twice a week or so. He passed away in '03.

[Jordy]

He's about 15 metres away atm, I'm upstairs and he's downstairs. Can range from a few metres to a few hundred miles.

[Mathew]

You are very witty.

[immense]

i dont get it :l too fick

on topic; love my dad

edit; LMAO i get it!!!!!!!!

and yh i think my dad is actually best dad ever altho like 10mins ago i asked him for the brown sauce and he said "in my room" who has brown sauce in their room!!!!!

[AgnesIO]

Really close, parents are both together, have been for over like 25 years I think.

Go to football with dad every weekend.

I do more sporty things with my dad, while my mum is like more caring I guess

[colourpot]

Not really close to him, used to be when i was little, i was a typical daddy's girl but then i grew up, i can just about hold a convo with him these days, he doesnt like the way i am so i've given up with him.

[Dandelion]

I see him about 3-4 times a week so pretty close, my mum and dads split up it doesn't really bother me tbh.

[Luke]

Not very. Haven't seen him for..10 years now? :/
Ah well (:
