Answer #1

and yes he is a controle freak

Answer #2

How dare he…CARE about you and look after your best interests - making sure you get a good, moral start on the road if life !!

Answer #3

“Confront him about it”

Sure - that will make living under his father’s roof more bearable.

Answer #4

You’re in your dad’s house - you’re going to have to play by his rules. He’s not abusing you or causing you severe emotional anguish, so you really have nothing to save you from it.

You’re just going to have to grin and bear it until you’re out on your own.

Answer #5

Wow. What a bunch of wimps.

Confront him about it, and not angrily. I would say without a confrontational attitude, but that’s difficult to do.

May I ask what religion he is? It sounds like he’s Jewish, but I might be mistaken.

Answer #6

I wud say it is too much. where you live? if you cant dare to tell him that he is wrong then wait till you can move to your own house.

Answer #7

arhhh stop complaining…wait til your legal and can look after yourself then move out…dont burn your bridges with your dad because family will always be there for you no matter where you go etc.

Answer #8

Meanwhile, if your friends are as harmless as you say, have them over to your house. Let them meet your Dad. Hang at your home so he can see that they are OK.

If, however you are convinced that your Dad would reject them AFTER meeting them, …well… maybe he has a point!!

And if your Dad is just a control freak, you might just have to keep your head down until you go to college or move out on your own. I do not recommend burning any bridges. Try to always keep things civil with your family… Like Fruitylicious says.

Good Luck!!

Answer #9

It’s good that he cares about your safety and everything, but a father also has no right to destroy their kid’s social life and practically stalk them.

That whole idea of “you have to do whatever your parents tell you to as long as you live under their roof” is crap. -.-

Answer #10

thank for your answers, it help me a lot. and my dad is an adventist. my friends are really good exept for their language. but their good.
