Things I don't need to hear from my Father

annagybe

Tonight he said I look like I'm doing my hair lately more for convenience than for style. HELLO! I've been taking care of you for the last 2 1/2 months.

ARGH!

Oh, Anna, that is just TOO funny . . . um, I mean insensitive and clueless . . . um, I mean classic parental thinking out loud.

Whatever, I hope you can laugh at it because it is pretty choice!! (at least laugh after the infuriation wears off

Does it make you feel better if I said mine told me he thought I might be starting to get cellulite when I was about 13? And I was his 4th girl - you'd think he'd know better by then, huh. God rest his soul. Luckily, my stepmom set him straight that I did not in fact have cellulite (I sure do now!) and I didn't even know what it was back then, so no risk of being scarred for life lol.
They do love us, though, no matter the things that come out of their mouths

Oh Anna, parents (apparently) are meant to say those things. Just let it go, maybe he thought he was being funny.

A littleshocked that he noticed your hair at all. Gotta give him some credit for that. Seriously, glad he is well enough to leave the nest! Woo hoo!

My mother used to say about behavior she didn't like, after I'd been sick, "Oh. NOW you're feeling better!" (back to your old ways)

Ha! and my mother would criticize me that I do my hair for style and not for convenience. Glad that your dad is doing better and that you will get some space back soon.

Tell him he needs to go to Hooters, where the girls are paid to look good AND wait on him hand and foot.

Parents.

Anna, I saw an Oscar Mayer commercial today that made me think of you and your dad. It was a grandpa type who used no tact whatsoever answering questions from family members. It made me chuckle.

He must have been joking. You are more than polished enough.

Brings back memories...of course, I would have hit him up for some money to go get a haircut, but that's just me...
