pops was strict but for our own good.. i can remember i got offered to deal drugs but the first thing that came into my mind was that if my dad found out i was dealing he would try to halal me.. and thats why i didn't. we kinda adopted a policy when it came to my dad, speak only when your spoken to. but 6 years ago everything changed all the family went to pakistan except for pops and we stayed there for 6months. when we got back he was a changed man, missed us toooo much i guess.

Dad has been stricter than mum in my childhood, but I've had to change things with him as he has gotten older and me too. Gradually breaking his crusty exterior to reveal his softness that I know him to be a real softy.

I'm taking a very soft approach with my own kids, but will harden up in time and then relax it down to a 'friend' level afterwards.

It has to be life 1 ladies that take a normal sane relationship and turn it completely inside out and upside down. Boys and fathers are not gonna hug and cry and discuss their feelings. That is bloody gay. Yes relations are formal for the sake of respect. I get out of my seat every time my father walks into the room. I also steal books from his library without asking. I am never gonna discuss my emotions with my dad. I am never gonna say I need a hug from my dad. That is what my mom is there for.

But my father is the centre of my pillar of stability. He is the one I go to for career advice. For advice on anything. I speak to him of what is going in Afghanistan, stuff I can not tell my mom or my sister. Also he depends on me on various ends. Are me and my dad close in the hollywood gay ass sense? No. But we are damn close.

I seriously suggest you ladies stop letting Hollywood and Bollywood define how you view relationships and the world.

my husband loves his dad to bits, one of my favourite photos is of the two of them hugging at arrivals in the airport. But my husband wouldnt really talk to his dad about his problems because he feels he doesnt want to burden him and wouldnt want to upset him.

beware: girls eventually become their mothers, boys eventually become their fathers. So if you want to see what your GF/BF/ mangether is gong to be in 20-30 years, observe their same-gender parent.

So all these guys with their standoffish, formal :snooty: fathers will become that (unless they make a concerted effort not to be, like psyah is trying to do.)

And all the girls are going to become like their mothers (I couldn’t imagine it would happen to me, but I swear I hear my mother’s own voice coming out of my mouth and scolding my son!":khums:
