What type of father did you have?

[GrindtooFilthy]

-legit 40 yrs older than me so that generational gap is fukking huge (im 21 he's 61)
-around when needed like he and my mom's been married since my birth but my moms was the one driving me to places the most
-got tired of both of them not being around enough and just took matters into my hands, kinda made me a loner since i was the only son
-they always ask why i'm so distant, detached, apathetic, towards other people i always tell them you made me this way yall never really tried to understand me and i'm not giving you the luxury of understanding me now it's too late for that
-told them the minute i graduate i'm leaving yall because you guys always wanna be down my neck and now want to be around me constantly, don't need that i wanna do my own thing
-they lowkey think i'm gay but i'm not bringing no female who i can't call a wife around my family
-he helped when needed so that i can't front him on. if i was struggling dude would make sure i got the shyt i needed
-my dad's also quiet probably explains why me and my sister don't really like talking to people that much
-he has better work ethic than me but his spirit towards work is what makes me go he's an artist but i don't know why he doesn't go out and sell paintings
-he lost an arm in a car accident so i understand why he's reclusive most of the time, people in this world are cold
-also an african cab driver so you know how that shyt works
-all in all i think i inherited my attitude towards things through him, unless i'm passionate about something can't be bothered to give it my all

My pops started off doing his own thing, selfish and all that shyt.

He turned his life around though and now he's trying to make good choices in his life.

For that effort, he'll always remain a good dude to me even if he wasn't the ideal father.

but every great thing i was taught came from him, even though we've never talked properly, cant remember any proper convos we had, he was very african to the core, never told you he loved you but his actions showed it...

see this the shyt with all african parents though, pops never really said i loved you but he tried to prove it i ain't mad but right now both my parents need to understand the reason i am the way i am is because of them. they think it's something else but they never get it

My pops is the type of nikka to run a rehab center and sell dope on the side. Run a bail bond business and do dirt or be up in dirt as to keep customers going. He's a good man and I love him...but that nikka is a fukking criminal.

yo that is dirty man knows how to keep the economy running

my fathers type is known as the best;

new york city project dirt elevated to respectable professional gentleman
by way of being the first to ever graduate (hi skool)

he writes checks and can cash em all, either pen or fist

godbless that man

 

[scarlxrd]

new york city project dirt elevated to respectable professional gentleman

That's the best type. Learned from his mistakes and made the right choices at the end of it all. Can't help but to that

My pops certainly saved me a life of going down that rabbit hole by using his example as motivation.

My Dad gave me the blueprint.

Got up and went to work every day same job for 30 years, and always kept side hustles, because my mom couldn't always work.

Took care of my mom who found out she had lupus after they got married and nursed her back to health every time she fell ill and was hospitalized and had to go through rehab. Never let her stay in in a nursing home to get better, he my sister and I took care of her at home after getting out the hospital.

Took us on trips/vacation every year, even if it was just up to Flint to visit family, driving to Florida/Texas/Georgia/Mississippi or out of the country as a teenager, he gave me my love of travel even without a lot of money, we would hop in the car and drive Everywhere.

Was crazy strict about house rules and housework being done 0 exceptions. If he came home at 1am and the dishes or whatever wasn't done, I had to get up and do it because it was my responsibility to the house.

Gave me the majority of my life game, taught me how to maneuver, I realize how much I'm like him. He could charm whatever he wanted out of people.

Was an only child and loves and looks out for his friends like blood relatives.

Checks on his mother EVERY SINGLE DAY, and will do anything for her. I had to make him go on a cruise he had planned this year because his mom was sick and he didn't really trust anyone to watch over her while he was out the country for a week. I had to swear I'd check on her every day to get him to go.

Lives by his word, I'd never question or doubt a promise he made to me, ever. I don't have that level of faith in a another living person.

Exceptional father.

My pops was strict growing up, damn near was afraid of him, but he would pretty much still get me the latest gaming consoles and would keep money in my pocket when I would go on trips or wanted to go hang out with friends. He was an electrical engineer and my mom was a nurse, so my pops was anal about school and education (Thank God he was, cause I'm outchea winning because of it )

These days I can tell he wants to be closer to me and shyt, but I think that window is missed since I really don't want to have any conversations with him outside of sports talk.

My little sister has a great relationship with my pops thou ( daddy's girl shyt)

I know my pops is going to be great with his future grandkids, because he's no longer going to have to be the discipliner in chief, he can sit back and just spoil.

Nah, what i meant was he wasn't trying to hear shyt that didn't have anything to do with the school or books. So when it came to dealing with girls, sex, temptations, or any teenage question I might of had, he was straight , so I basically had to lean on friends and myself to figure shyt out. Now that I'm grown, he NOW wants to tell me about women/dating and a bunch of other shyt I could of used as a teenager. I don't need the advice now, so I be looking at him like ""

He's still a good father, just some things I feel like he missed and he's trying to recapture with me, and it ain't going to really happen

My dad was strict yet loving when I was a kid. He worked hard and was always active in something (sports/the community). He was old school in that he wasn't tolerating any disrespect. Yet he embraced some new age principles about communication and would often sit down and discuss things with me. He showed me how to deal with people and play the game. He showed me how a man should treat his woman. He showed me how a father should treat their children. When I am unsure about what to do I pretty much mimic him.

When I was growing up my dad was very strict. He's a lot more lax now with his grandkids.

Tell me about that shyt. The other day my son is sitting there calling him by his first name and my parents are just sitting there laughing and talking about how cute it was. I'm sitting there like "I got my ass whooped when I tried that shyt "
