Father keeps making me do crap

[CoolStuff]

- Including reading books he chooses (I dont think he believes I'm reading many books. So many I don't even know the number).
- Working (Fixing up a house)

It doesn't sound so bad, but compared with all his other little quirks it can get irritating. (He only wants to do something when he feels like it, then immediately demands your attention. He has drastic mood swings and he's completely unpredictable. But at least he's easy to read.)

I am still living with him though so I feel I do have to listen to him to a certain extent. I would like to move out, but that will happen when I'm older and when I have some steady income.

kinda sounds like he is trying to expose you to things that he enjoys and that he feels have had a worthwhile impact on his life.
I mighta got it wrong but it sounds kinda like he's trying to bond with you.

Cool Stuff, you don't how lucky you have it to have the father you have. It doesn't matter how many personal flaws he has, 10 years from now you'll be grateful for these times....you just don't know it yet.

Realising your parents aren't perfect is an important part of growing up. You'll find it very liberating when you accept them for who they are, unique individuals with their own strengths and weaknesses.

absolutely. it is a strange day when you come to the realization that your parents are just people like everyone else with all the same problems other people have.

Yeah I know. I already had that revelation a few years ago.

Yeah I understand that. But some stuff like reading books of his choice. while he just goes and sits on the computer. and I rather play music with him to bond.
