Why is my dad like this?

When I was 16 I started dating my boyfriend Chris. From the beginning of the relationship, my Dad has always hated him for no good reason at all. I’m now 19, and have a child with chris, and my dad is still the same way. When I graduated from highschool, my dad didn’t come to my grad because Chris was there. He also didn’t come to the hospital when my daughter was born because Chris was there too. He isn’t even allowed to my parents house which is kind of a problem since I live there, seeing as we’re in the process of getting our own place. The last time he came here, my dad flipped out, made a scene and chased him away. Immature much? He says he doesn’t like him because he has a child with another person, but why should it bug him when it doesn’t bug me? There’s something deeper then that, and I would just like to know anyones opinion out there. Sitting down with my Dad and talking about it isn’t an option because he’s too stubborn. Should I have to choose between Chris or my Dad?

Answer #1

ahhh well, your father must be scared to let you go. no matter what your always going to be your fathers ‘baby’ so hes just afraid to see you growing up so fast. talk to him about it, and tell him that you really love chris, and ask if he can lay off (in a nicer way) good luck with that and your child :)

Answer #2

Fathers are very overprotective of their daughters, me may think Chris isnt good enough for you, because in their eyes no one ever could be.

Answer #3

you shouldnt have to choose at all. it kills dads when their little girls grow up. now he is being totally unreasonable the fact that hes not giving him a single chance even after 3 years of you two being together. but I would guess it pains him to see you growing up so fast. and then talk to him. sit him down and have a mature serious talk with him, [:

Answer #4

Well obviously your dad hated him because he didn’t think you were mature enough to be dating a guy with a child. WHy would any father want his daughter to date a guy with a child. Obviously he is a good judge of character since you now have a child. Your boyfriend really needs to learn safe sex. Your dad probably just thinks your gonna end up a single parent like the last girl your boyfriend did it to.
