sounds like the arse has a son form the y generation not really willing to work but is motivated to get others too .My old man would of kicked my arse if the lawns werent done and the dog #### picked up ,if you left your towel in the bath room .even if the car dripped oil id get my arse kicked .sound like todd needs a minder .The arse needs to explain to his son how good life was before he was born when dad could aford to go to a titty show and have few beers and catch a cab home ....And not have a care in the world ,Mate I think its time to leave the nest todd

Hey the simplist thing I do is start working on my datto holler at my dad can you help for a few not sure if its right want to double check this.. Try and make him fell important not like a lazy arse. My dad puts in 60 hrs a week or so at his job or try to set up an afternoon with him might be a better way to approach this.

From the sounds of things, you are in year 11, as am I. I also have school work and commitments to do, yet also find time to work on mine. How about you spend working on the datto instead of on the computer taking to us?

i want to help him but work and school commitments come first. i work on it in school holidays. its just that he promised that he wood have it done. he refused help for free from a whole workshop n said that it was something that he wanted to do. if he had said yes it wood of been done in less than a month. now its been close to a year.

so yeah i am a bit pissed you cood say that, and its hard to be motivated on somehting when it cood of been done at a higher standard then yourself for free and in a fraction of the time taken

Quote:
He couldnt be bothered? Sounds like he has to many things to do and has no time.
Also sounds like you couldnt be bothered helping him so that he can have time to help you.

yes, yes i have.

and he hasnt cos he coodnt be bothered and has other stuff to do, including mowing the lawn n doing stuff aorund the homje which is why i have begun doing those things

You bought it but he has to repair it.

The things you have said, gives me an idea why your dad hasn't got the car done.
Have you ever thought about why he hasn't?

yeah good one phunkdoktaspok

pity that i had to pay for the damn thing myself. there is no way he wood sel it n e ways cos i good get him back by selling or wrecking his harley.

TheARSE it sounds like its time to sell the ute. Use the money to buy beer and go back to relaxing in the arvo and weekends.
Old enough to drive, Old enough to look after your parents.

hey all

i took the advice from my dad (THE ARSE) this afternoon... but put my own lil twist on it. he wanted the lawn mowed soi did, but in the process wrote my name in the grass so he would know who did it. i think from now on wenever i have to mow the lawn ill do this since he said he will be working on it on sunday. so humiliation is the best way to get fathers to do jobs for you.

but how should i continue doing this sort of thing because i cant mow the lawn every week. wat else can i do. i really like the idea of humiliation as it works best on him
