is it really okay?

[little drummer girl2011]

see, i don't get along with my dad very well. i don't talk very highly of him except for once in awhile. but does that really make it okay for some people (like my friends) to talk him down just because i do it sometimes? i mean, he's still my dad. no matter how much i don't enjoy his company sometimes he's still MY DAD and i don't like it when they do talk him down... but is the way i'm thinking right?

No one should speak like that to your dad apart from you if needs be.

I couldn't imagine myself being rude to anyones parents or family.

If I had a kid and it's friends spoke to me like that I'd be so mad and kind of upset.

Tell them not to talk to him like that in front of him/were he can hear. He could be very upset over it and someone standing up for him could be good.

if you feel it's wrong or w/e..obviously they shouldn't.

i mean..just b/c you talk bad about him..doesn't mean they should..but..what kid//teenager//person doesn't talk stuff about their parents?..  

[HopelessRomantic44]

Yeah, It's like it's ok when you do it because your just joking around but when someone else does it seems just mean. I think it makes sense.=]

i completely know what you mean. I may love my mum, but, i dont 'like her'. You get it? ok let me say it clearer. My mum is my mum. Im her daughter, i cant change that.[i wouldnt anyway...] But i dont have to like the person she is. you dont have to 'like' your dad to 'love' him. Got it?  

[Corpse_Bride_131]

No one has the right to do that to anyone else, regardless of relations. But since he is your dad, you most definitely need to tell them that it bothers you and you would appreciate it if they could stop.

I do the exact same thing about my dad, and for some reason- it actually bothers me that my friends talk crap about him.
Probably souly for the reason they don't know my dad, they're just hearing his bad points that I always exentuate.
I think there's nothing wrong with the way you're thinking.

They are still just people and as so can be a** holes or not. I find there being no problem telling my friends or gf if his/her mom or dad is a douche.  

[Gambino Statue]

I b***h about my stepmum and dad to my friends sometimes too and tend to make them seem worse than they are, and even though I don't think any of them would actually ever insult my parents sometimes they make comments that sort of.. make me very aware I must talk poorly of them.

Even if you put your Dad down he's still your Dad and they should know you love him even if he irritates you or you don't like things he does. They should have respect for your parents too. It's not cool for them to have a go at your Dad.  

[muffineatsbabies]

no, that isnt wrong. hes an adult and your father and its disrespectful for them to do so. its only ok for you to b/c hes YOUR dad. and everyone has some kind of issue with their parents. and need to vent.  

[Art Payment]

I think I'm at a different point of view seeing how I'm not a kid anymore.
I see my friends parents as just other people. My Friend Aaron's step dad got in my face about me calling him Kevin, told me to call him Mr. (enter last name I forget). I told him I'm not his 13 year old little girl's friend. Respect is earn no matter if you are a parent or not and I'm not just going to give it for the fact that you are family of my friend.  

[TheTailz]

Well tell them how you feel, and if you don't like it don't talk about your daddy in front of them keep it to yourself.  

[Submersion in Perversion]

My biased opinion is that if you don't like him, let your friends slam him. Personally, I can't stand the anthropomorphic personification of hypocrisy that is my father. And if any of my friends want to take pot shots at him, I say go for it!

TO THE DEPTHS OF (insert desired awful place here) WITH PARENTS! Well, mine, at any rate.
