Mr. Cranky Pants
(A Satiric Approach in Parenting)
My dad has been there through thick and thin, mainly thin. He had been in my life for as long as I have lived! My dad is outstanding, outgoing, and funny. Dads can also be stubborn, mean, and honest. My dad in particular is all of the above and sometimes I really dislike that, but hey I can’t change that and I won’t even try either. I love how my dad still gives me a curfew, makes me work on my days off, and doesn’t let me ever be on my phone. Every other eighteen year old I know doesn’t have a curfew and I still do. I love that. I love how my father gives me only until 11:00 at night and all my other friends can stay out until midnight to one O’clock. I have so much family time on top of

My dad is the best dad in the world because he thinks that I need to work a whole seven days out of the week. It’s great because I don’t get time to do that mountain high McGee homework that I look forward to every weekend. And the best part about working on the days that I have off are that I don’t even get paid for working those hours. I feel like an awesome person after volunteering those days to work that I care for so much. On top of having a curfew and working seven days out of the week I appreciate how my father never lets me be on my phone so I can spend more quality time with my family that I am always with. It’s great when I throw seventy dollars down the drain for my phone bill and never get to be on it. It gets even better, my father takes my phone every night so I can get a good night’s sleep, but what is sleep when I have a mountain of homework that I have to do when I get off of work and school? Clearly, my father cares about my well-being, so much so that he takes away my social life and gives me nothing but family time 24/7. He only lets me out for three hours on Friday and not a minute late. He takes away any ‘free’ day that I have besides of school. Also he doesn’t let me go on my phone. I don’t think I have ever met a father who cares so much for a
Everything he does, is for us. The biggest thing my dad has done for me is provide me with the opportunity to go to college. At 19 years old, working a dead end waitress job, there was no way I was going to be able to pay for college. Financial aid was not an option and
Fathers are often under a lot of personal and cultural pressure to be “the man of the house.” Studies have gone in depth regarding how this affects a father's interaction with his children. Often, fathers spend their whole lives working to support their children and teaching them important new skills and abilities. Even more than a mother, they perceive their children as weak or
My dad has always been my biggest motivator and the reason for growing up the way I did. We had a very tight relationship; I was definitely a "daddy's girl." I always wanted to be around him, he was someone I looked up to when I was younger. I always looked at him like he was so much more
My father is one of those dads that is not really a dad. Sure his name is on my birth certificate and I carry his last name as my own but he is not really a dad. He only claims to be a parent when it is convenient for him, other times he rarely acknowledges that he actually has kids.
My dad is that guy that could walk into a random cheese shop in Wisconsin and somehow know someone there and on the off chance he doesn’t, he’ll make a new friend and learn their entire life story by the time he leaves. When I was younger his constant need for chatter would get on my nerves because his attention wouldn’t be on me. Not to mention when I was working hard to “be good”, to get some ice cream or whatever I was promised
There's a saying that goes something along the lines of "nothing good happens at two in the morning." After the clock strikes a certain hour, it is highly unlikely for anything good to come from decisions teenagers make. Despite protests against it, there is a reason that people are supposed to be in their houses at a certain time, and it isn't simply to ruin the fun; rather, curfews serve to keep people safe. Instilling a curfew will keep teenagers out of trouble because it will teach them to be more obedient and responsible, encourages them to dedicate more time to their academics, and gives them a legitimate reason to say "no" to peer pressure. Becoming more responsible and obedient is a part of growing up. By being held to
I think there should be a curfew for kids 18 and under I agree with the teen that said it allows less time to get in trouble such as gang, drugs etc. I don't see why any kid or child should be outside or hanging out with friends, or anything else pass 9:30 pm especially on the weekdays. A kid or young adult should be learning about time management and responsibilities I don't agree that it takes freedom away by giving a curfew by 9:30 pm young adult and teens should be showering or doing extra reading or homework and getting ready for school. Me as adult I don't even stay out late or don't even want to because I know I have responsibility I need to do such high as job aND school staying out late could be dangerout so why should we give a chance
My father has always been my crutch. He’s always been there to support me when I felt broken, constantly apologizing for something he can’t control. When I felt unwanted and abandoned and constantly asking myself what I did wrong for her to not want to stay and asking what was wrong with myself every time the door slammed shut. My father was there picking up the pieces, and patting my back trying to pacify me. How he sat me on the counter and poured peroxide on my knees in order to clean out the leftover rocks and blood after I tried to race down the steps after her and fell while trying to drag her back causing the rocks to bite into my skin. She left without looking back.
I am thankful that my dad can be described like that. My father, Frank will stop at nothing to make sure that I become an A+ rank in everything like school, sports, manners, and personality. If it wasn’t for him, I would not be the person who I am today. He taught me how to play sports, how I need to study to make sure to get good grades, and how to never get down on myself and stay tuff and positive. My dad stood determined for me to excel as an athlete. Such as when he decided to take me to the basketball courts and baseball fields almost everyday to help me get better at my favorite sports. Without my dad, I wouldn’t have been on some really good teams where my future best friends were on. It is so hard to explain how thankful I am for having a unique and awesome person as my dad.
How much does your father’s affection affect you? More than you may think, fathers have been linked to many facets of their children’s lives. Fathers are largely influential on the way that children behave as an adult, the self esteem of the child, and the economic future of the child. Divorce, abandonment, and death can cause children to become estranged from their father, fatherless, or have limited time with their father. This can all become a problem for the child’s life later on, they may not be able to develop such as most children.
Although most teens and adults like to go out and have the time of their lives, they need to have a curfew to get the sufficient amount of rest they need. Curfews our very important for people in their teenage years because they need the rest to exceed in school the next day.
7:00 p.m. curfew for those under the age of 16 should be a law to reduce crime, keep them safe, and prevent drug use. Most teens hate the curfew, in reality it’s just to keep them safe.
Another thing I appreciate about my dad is how he sets aside time to do things
A smart, caring, fun loving man, my father is more than just a dad to me. I call him a friend, a coach, and most importantly a role model. He balances the perfect amount of being strict and letting me have my freedom. Though we fight, I wouldn't be where I stand today without the guidance of my dad. Throughout my life he has taught many things that I will never forget. One day, I hope to grow up and treat my kids, how my dad treated me.
My dad is the best dad in the world. I know everyone loves their father and
