Just remember if you sleep with it tonight you may have to look at it for the rest of your life.\n\nAlways hold your head up high and act like you own the place even if you are scared to death.

Who says Dads are not smart ? only those dads that do say they aren't don't know how hard it is to be on top of every bad situation their children bring to them, It's not about being the smartest it's the knowledge of knowing what to do in the right situation when it comes and knowing the Law and learning more than what their own children know to help them when that time arrives to help them in any givien situation good or bad. and plus being a good listener is always a great help and knowing their children well enough to where they will come to him no matter what happens by helping them in any way. Like My Daughter wants a new Car, Time to get a job to afford one is a starter. nothing in life is free to them just the advice I give them As their Dad !!

I stayed with my dad until he died.  He wanted me to be safe and to take care of me and me of him.  So it worked out fine.  I was not ready to be independent and that was best for me to do in my situation.  I know other people may have looked down on me but that is their problem.  Just because I was not married or independent did not mean that I was stupid or crazy.  They did not and do not know me to judge me.  I did what I wanted and what was best for me.  Then I realized that as my dad got older and in worse health, that he needed me because he would have been all alone and could not be alone as his illness progressed.  One day he told me that he wanted me to stay and not to marry until he died.  That did make me feel good and useful and have a little more dignity when others would say things to me.  But all in all, I would not have changed a thing.  So you do what is best for you.  Your family is the most important thing, if they are good to you, so treasure them.  You will be out and on your own one day when you marry or find a boyfriend or go to college or move for other reasons.  So, do what is best for you. I think that you are lucky.  :)

Proverbs 23:25\nLet your father and your mother be glad, And let her rejoice who gave birth to you. New American Standard\n\nThis is a really cool blessing from the Old Testament\nNumbers 6:24-26\n24 "The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; 26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace."

When my father was alive I criticized the way I was raised to him and it bothered him.When he was dieing he was feeling sorry for himself and made a comment about raising us badly.That really bothered me.I told him we were the fruits of his labor and if he liked the way we turned out he could be proud.

This is what my dad said at my sister's wedding\n\nWhen you were born, I cried tears of joy. Then you started walking and talking, and I cried, thinking that you were no longer going to need me. Your first day of kindergarden, I cried becasue I had to share your smile with others. Then you graduate high school then college, and I cried because I was proud of you. Now tonight when I get home from your wedding and reception, I'm going to cry, because I know that you are no longer my baby girl, but because you are a woman I'm proud to call my daughter.

"Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee." Exodus c20 v12\n\nDo what your mom tells you. LOL

Depending on how old you are, you move out.  He's older and he's never going to change.  My father is the same age and is like this.  Our relationship got a lot better after I moved out.  He's very protective and critical of his little girl.  So I grant him that.  I'll give him the respect of listening to the important stuff and asking his advice on important stuff.  But if he busts me on stupid little things, I just say, yeah, yeah, yeah and ignore him.  Pick your battles and don't rise to the bait.  He's probably just trying to show his authority.  If you give him some authority in your life and simply let it roll of your shoulders on the stupid stuff, he'll get the hint and will appreciate the times you do give him control.  He's your father, and it's hard for father's to let their kids grow up.  He will get the hint though.  Eventually, children and parents reach a compromise.  Good luck!

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. \n\nThis is one of my favorite promises, one of the 10 Commandments.  It is the only one of the 10 commandments which offers a promise of long life if you but honor your father and mother.

Mine was something my own father said to me too:\n\nI was 10 years old, and ran him out some lemonaid in the orchard.  When he stopped to take a break, he proceeded to say:\n\nYou know what? Your just like your mother.  Your going to be a drunk, be pregnant by 16 and no man will ever love you.\n\nWell, I've beaten the odds by 2 of them anyways, I didn't have my first child tell 25, I'm not a drunk, but he is right about no one ever loving me.  2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I listen to my parents until I was 21 and I thought I knew everything even what my heart was telling me. But that is one wild and rough world when you leave home and try to make it on your own for two people. Wish I was still at home and listening to them preach and hollering the famous word NO.

I am very grateful to my parents for bringing me up properly to respect my elders,to know about manners,to learn alot about different cultures and society's,having the opportunity to live in different countrys and most importantly when I became a monster during my teenage years they remained loving,when things in my adult life turned into a mess they had the right advise and also later on I realised they knew what they where talking about.\n\nSure there where times we did not get on but I always remember that they will not be around for ever love them while they are with you because you will miss them when they leave.I tell them you love them especially as they get older.

My father. He gave me a good work ethic and taught me to never expect anything and appreciate everything.
