I got up in a fairly good mood today, but then my dad had to ruin it. I called my work to see if i had to do the retail truck today. Because usually I unpack our weekly truck on mondays. Well I found out I was on the sales floor today instead of the truck. So I told my dad that I wouldnt bring my headphones and CD's today, so I wouldnt have to drag them around. And he goes off on this rant on how im fooling myself if I really think that Im truly working. Then he goes as far as to say "your always claiming to be reading the scriptures, but you dont put childish things aside to be a man". Im so upset by this. I dont think loving music is childish, and I think I work as hard as anybody else. It frustrates me because he never stops trying to point out my shortcomings. ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png)

The most likely point about all of this is that you are probably not living up to what your dad exactly wants to be. From what I can see, you are very different from your sibilings. You are who you are. And trust me, we all love you for that. So don't let your dad coming down on you get to you too bad, I know it's hard.
Hope you have a fun day at work, I'll talk to you sometime later today.

I don't think your Dad meant to offend,sounds like he was probably in a bad mood. As for always pointing out shortcomings, all parents do that. Yeah, Yeah, even mine.

Yeah I know, but its all good now. He apologized later on so its all good now. Sometimes i take what he says to heart. and i shouldnt.
