trying not to turn into my dad
I actively seek ways of not being my dad...

First of all my dad believes he is inspector cluso, when me and the sisters were kids and mum and dad argued we played a game, dad would say his piece then walk out of the room "im off to make a cuppa!!" slamming the door behind him... we would wait 20 seconds and then one of us would pretend to be heading to the toilet, open the door and dad would either fall through it or pretend to be coming back minus his cuppa... truth was he would go outside the door and listen to what was being said about him... even now 10 years after they deviorced and my mum moved 200 miles away he likes us to think hes some sort of super spy if i was to say to my sister "damn. whats mums address again?" in front of him he would come back "oh i can get that for you" with a big smerk on his face, i swear if he knew anything about technology we would all be bugged.

And he still hasn't let my mum go after all this time, and the "perverted drongo" shes now married to who he is regularly going to kill or put in hospital even though dad has someone new himself.

Secondly my father is a massive hoarder because anything might "come in handy one day" he actually picks things up off the road, like nuts and bolts fallen off cars and trucks and bits of wire and brings them all home and puts them im his shed.... a shed that you can no longer get into because of all the crap in there and one day the over filled attic is going to come crashing through the house... it might be nasty to say but when my dad leaves this world im not looking forward to sorting that lot out lol

Thirdly calling my mums new bloke a pervert is a little hypocritical, dad always liked to take pictures of my mum and even went as far as having a naked oil painting done of her which was displayed proudly on the living room wall for her 8 year old son to see. And he would regularly 'accidently' happen to be walking naked to the bathroom from the bedroom just as people were coming round to visit. arrange the words black, pot, calling, kettle

So i avoid being all this, i respect peoples privacy including my partners, i live in a very minimalist way and can't stand having clutter, i feel no need to show off my own parts or anyone elses on my living room wall despite being quite open minded and comfortable around people and such things. and in relationship break ups ive always walked away without jealosy and bitterness, in fact when my daughters mum met her new bloke and then i met him for the first time, i handed my 10 month old daughter to him as a sign of respect and i said i respect you two are together and that you will be in my daughters life so here she is, all i want in return is respect that she is my daughter and that im bringing her up, then we had a pint..

Apologies for the lack of humour, but thank you for listening..

length ? well im not gonna myself compare to dad but i would guess that i got bigger balls.
