Reasons I hate you, Dad

Dad, you and I have begun to argue day in and day out. Whenever we argue you conclude with “I measure my success by being a good provider for my family”. That is great dad. You were truly a great provider, thank you! You paid for my college, my rent, my phone bill; even some trips abroad!

But these are the 10 things I wish I could change about you and about us:
1) you didn’t bother to teach me to ride a bike – no matter how I begged. (I have since learned).
2) after soccer matches you could only tell me what I did wrong – even when I was the highest scorer.
3) you don’t help my mom with anything around the house and she works 8-10 on her feet everyday.
4) you never call, or ask how school is.
5) you’re homophobic – I am gay.
6) you think I am going no where with my degree.
7) you try to buy my affection rather than earn it.
8) you eat McDonald’s everyday and when it kills you my mother will be all alone.
9) once, when you weren’t talking to me, you let my birthday slip by without so much as a nod in my direction. For that, I hate petty people.
10) the same time when you weren’t talking to me, my friend died and you didn’t say anything, or ask to see if I was ok. It made me realize you weren’t superman.

I know it’s not so bad, but some of these things make me never want to go home. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest :)
