How will I ever make it up to my dad for raising my brother and me by himself?

My dad did the same thing…. I think it’s part of being a great parent. just tell him how much you appreciate it. Imma get a tattoo of my dad n brother cause they mean the world to me.

What a beautiful answer, Janice! I especially love this part, which I guarantee is true: “any father would love that their teenage daughter wants to spend time with them.”

You may also, G!d willing, have a chance to return the favor when you are a mature adult and he is aged.

make something useful of your self and have a good life

Speaking as a father in just your situation, Countess is right on. Also, trust him to ALWAYS be willing (and wanting) to give you emotional support. There may come a time when something happens that you feel will upset / hurt / disappoint him. Know that he will be there for you and will not judge. Lastly, you probably already know that you have him ‘wrapped around your finger’. Don’t take too much advantage of that.

Tell him how much you mean to him.

tell him you love him. i know dads always love to hear that from there kids.

Bravo Janice! I love that answer. (:

Aaawe. What a precious girl you are. Just love him, and try to be a good daughter. :)

respect, obeying in everything Except Obvious bad and Evil things. love and appreciation. kiss forehead if it was ok for you, i don’t think you can make it up in a day or a month or easily in general…

He gives me kisses on the forehead and sometimes a pat on the back. He doesn’t hug me anymore, he says dads can’t hug their daughters after they reach that certain stage in life. it’s ok tho I understand lol.

very good :}>

would like to add something you may not notice. if he Asks you to do something and you Dislike it and just make the Voice of “offff…” he might get hurt a little inside but without being able to see it on his face. so if you really care and love dad and want to keep him happy and very satisfied with you, watch that point i just cleared :P>

I want to thank everyone for their replies ;)

and stay off the stripper pole
