What will make your dad proud of you today?

28 comments

1. Probably being alive and having a job

2. Fuck that guy, he always called me a waste of time and I haven’t spoken to him in over 10 years. I’m proud of me.

3. If I knew that, I’d have spent a lot less money on therapy.

4. That I made a life for myself that makes me content.

5. Nothing, I’m always a failure in his eyes.

6. Likely nothing, or possibly even everything, as I have stopped concerning myself with his very low set of standards for quite some time now. Instead I strive to push myself for betterment on an individual level for myself, because I don’t need to justify it to anyone but myself to be a solid individual.

7. Considering he passed away 2 years ago, I have no answer.

8. I’m better than him in every way possible

   Most importantly I didn’t smoke myself to death leaving two orphans before they reached the age of 6 ,that was stupid

   I don’t give a shit if he’s proud or not, the dead can’t control my life

9. Nothing. He’s a self centred a-hole

10. I don’t have one, thanks for bringing it up OP. Prick

11. Nothing I did made him proud when he was alive

12. House, own family I provide for, just like he did, no shady business, just honest work.

13. Never met him, so no clue, but I’m sure he’s long gone.

14. I am no longer in a relationship with the wrong woman. I am successful in my career. I support my mom and brother in his place as best as I can as my father is deceased.

15. So I’ve noticed, based on the comments, that a majority of dads suck (mine included).

16. Jesus, I’m glad I have a good relationship with my dad. Sorry so many of you didn’t.

17. I didn’t do anything special today so it would be weird if he became proud of me today of all days.

18. I’ve turned my life around

19. Dont know, dont care, i dont live my life to make him proud.

20. He’s be proud if I became a communist and started supporting the separatist ‘republics’ in Ukraine (DNR, LNR), now not even recognized by Russia lol.

    Not going to happen

21. He’s dead so nothing

22. How I treat women, the kind of father I am – he knew his flaws and he’s not seeing me repeat them. How supportive I am with family, how selfless I can be. My intellect.

    I’d be none of those things without him, whether he taught me how to do it or what not to do.

23. That I didn’t fall into his habits probably. He wasn’t the best person/father/husband.. but he was my dad.

24. My blood father – don’t know. He never asked much of his children, was just happy to have us.

    And my stepfather.. he’s just proud that I keep pushing forward. That I got a job, friends, hobbies. He always supports all of us.

25. The fact that I’m doing my part for the family where he can’t because of his mental health issues.

26. Nothing. No one is ever proud of me. But me.

27. These days? Who the hell knows, honestly?

28. Screw him, I’ve done what I could to make him proud but then I realized he never truly cared about me, so I’m doing things that make me proud.
