Well, let me speak my mind.
Firstly, I think your Dad is a user. He wants but never gives. I paid so much money for him that he conned me into but I just got the cold shoulder forever. Ever since I met the man, he didn't like me. Sure, he gave me a place to stay, but then kicked me out. What a dick. Then he accepted me back in then I MOVED out because of him. I didn't like him coming into my place all the time (I was paying rent as well as steph), and he would eat our food, take stuff, say it's his, or just make us feel bad because we actually work.
I don't know what he does with his money - prolly spends it on strippers with the beer, cigerettes, etc. He neglects his family, his daughter, his girlfriend. What a dick. I don't think anyone should have any association with him if he's acting like he is. When I met him, he was okay, but then it went downhill from then. I wonder if it's better if he's on his own. but he has to cut the habits. Sometimes I feel like taking his cigs away and the beer and the keys to his car. How could someone go through thousands of dollars and not show anything for it? Steph and I got our apartment in Nov/02 and since then, it's OUR RULES because we pay for all the the stuff we want. We don't let anyone tell us what to do or allow other people make the rules for us.
If steph's dad doesn't have a place to live, he's not staying here. No Sir - no vacancy. I don't care if he lives on the streets - I'm not having a person that smells like cigerettes and he's not even through the front-door. He would stink up our apartment with smoke and somehow make a rule that he would be allowed to smoke and drink. Then he would sleep on our new couch that we paid $900 for and then burn holes in telling us it's our fault or we did it. He would hog the TV and somehow kick me into my bedroom with my computer and my business that I run from home.
I hate the f****** and he's not ever allowed to come over unless he changes his act completely. That would never prolly happen.
