my dad is the freaking best!!
seriously, i love my father. i am so lucky to have parents that love me and take such good care of me, even though i am 22 years old and have made the mistakes i have, like my dui and coming home to their house drunk way too many times, and they recently found out i dance.
i know my dad totally disagrees and it kills him to know that i dance, but today when he came over to bring me some stuff he was asking what my plans are after graduation. he really wants me to get a "real" job, and we were talking about one of my options that would really be great because they offer full tuition reimbursement. i said i would worry about money with that job (its a teaching job in a school for autistic kids and children with other disabilities) and he said i could do that and keep doing my "other activities" on the weekends if need be. he didnt even say it in a bad way, he's trying really hard to accept it.
so when i say he brought me "some stuff," he brought me a fireplace screen because my cats keep climbing in the fireplace, a table and chairs for my balcony, and TONS of groceries. he brought me all my favorite foods. my parents know im worried about money with all my upcoming court costs, and i mentioned to my mom that i was barely going grocery shopping to try and save, and my dad comes over with bags full of food.
i feel like such a bad daughter sometimes, i'm going to try so hard to be a better daughter because my dad would do anything for me, and i know i'm so lucky. some people have parents who they dont even talk to, and i have such a wonderful father. i just wanted to post this on here because im soo happy right now ;D
(oh, and it's such a change from 8ish or so months ago. i was having a really hard time with my parents then)

Aw that's really sweet. You're very lucky. I'm glad things are going better though.
Re: my dad is the freaking best!!
That's awesome! My dad and I are like that too! I never told my parents I danced, but I did tell them I was a dominatrix. While my dad didn't like it, he did his best to accept it, and he never stopped supporting me and living me.
I think it's GREAT that you have that kind of relationship with your dad!
Re: my dad is the freaking best!!
us daddies always love our little girls. even when they're naughty and don't listen to us. the little stinkers. >:(
i'm glad he's so understanding. from what i've seen here (and elsewhere) that's not really always the case (for sons or daughters).
*thumbsup* for you and your dad though! ;)
Re: my dad is the freaking best!!
That's awesome, good for you!
Re: my dad is the freaking best!!
awww. that's awesome that you've got parents who love you and look out for you when you need a hand. :) And equally awesome that he accepts you dancing!
Re: my dad is the freaking best!!
He sounds like a good man. And you're all right in my book too, Britt. Good things are ahead for you.
Re: my dad is the freaking best!!
So many people have negative things to say about their fathers...I always love seeing posts like these!

thats why i posted it :) i know a lot of the girls on here have had some rough family situations, and i'm so lucky to have a dad who is there for me.
my mom, on the other hand.. i went out to lunch with her today and it was like a game of 20 questions about who im sleeping with and stripping. :-\
Re: my dad is the freaking best!!
My dad isn't really a fatherly parent, he's more like my buddy. We record music together, goof around, and never argue. My mom is kinda like yours though. She was the one who raised me so of course she's a little more overbearing. That's normal!

You are a rare and precious find. If that statement was even remotely true for all dads, our nations children would soooooooo much better off.
Britt, you have one of those rare and precious dads! Cherish him.;)
Re: my dad is the freaking best!!
Thanks for posting. Even though I'm pretty much on the "outs" with my parents (with the exception of a few emails with my dad recently), it gives me a good feeling (hope, maybe?) to hear about someone who has it good with their parents.
