Are you scared of your father?

I was actually more afraid of my mother than I was my father. My dad always spoiled me and would never lay a finger on me. It was my mom who did all the punishing. Maybe that because I was a girl. My dad was always meaner to my brother than he was to me.

i wasnt afraid of my dad, but i was intimidated by him. even now, i watch what i say around him n try not to cuss. i got pregnant in h.s. but i continued to go mainly because i knew my dad would be even more disappointed then he already was. he never really spanked me unless i did something totally wrong, like in 6th grade when i got caught stealing makeup at the store, he spanked me. I think it was just his way of doing and saying things.

my father is very a loving father. i remembered when i was a child. i dis obey him and he scolded me and gave me a hard advice and i shouted him and run away from our house and went to the other side of my parents house.i really dont knew that my parents was shock from what i did. it was just my father's time to go to work on that event. so after 20mins realizing that it was my fault and i went back home and my mother approached me that my father is been thinking me. afther an hour i got a called from my father saying sorry to me. i felt crying. as the years past my father is a role model to me. eventhough we did lots of mistakes he assumed to us that it was normal to a person to commit mistakes as long as u realized and accept that fact that u r wrong and ready to face the circutamces. i just want to give my father a good luxuries in life but it seems it was very hard for me. so the answer to ur question if i was scared to my father. no im not because i loved him and respect him.

I am not afraid with my father. But I do respect him as my father.I managed to obey whatever he is asking me to do not because I am afraid on him if I will not obey him, but I respect him thats why I always obey whatever he said because I know that he and my mom wants only what is good for me. That is true, our mother and father have different ways on how to deal with us. Our mom is quiet sweet on us. But when it comes to our dad, sometimes we think or we can feel that most of the time he is angry. But hes just like that because he wants us to feel that he has an authority in the house that we should all follow all his rules.But deep inside, he also cares for us.

me too! I scared to my dad during that times that we are still in grade school. he is strict and also a loving father of course, I miss him so much, I wish i could seehim again.

well sometimes it happens..its becoz i love him a lotz...nd don't want him to be annoyed..luv u dad

I too was afraid of my father when i was young because of his anger but afte years passed by my thoughts really changed about him..yes as you said every father wants his son to become a good person..more then what they achieved they want their son to achieve more..i really have learnt a lot from my dad and i'm happy about that..happy mylotting..

i am not afraid of my father but i respect him so much. i don't fear him because even though he used to spank us when we were little, he is a loving and responsible man. Now that I am a grownup I understand more why he has to whip us with his belt during some few times. He is always reasonable. He has never hit us for no grave reason at all and I love him for being that. I love him so I don't fear him at all as a person but I fear that I can hurt him.

There are times when I'm scared of him. Although he hasn't physically hurt me, and doesn't get mad very often, I still have some fear of him. when he gets mad, he's really mad. I emphasize the word "really". i do know that he has reason to get mad, but ... still.

Hi dear..I used to get scared of my father when I was a kid,because he used to make me study a lot.Other than that,my father never tried to show his anger on us.There are different situations in different families.Like some fathers never scold their kids,but moms will always sold their children and they take total control over their kids.In rest of the families it is in the other way.Fathers think more about their childrens future and moms think about their childrens safety and other things.Now a days fathers are much friendlier than the olden days fathers.They understand our needs and feelings and they provide us what we want,even before we ask them.Thats how my dad is.I love him!!!I'll try to be the same with my kids too... Happy mylotting!!! Keep smiling!!!

Most of the cases I am a bit. to be true , earlier i was but now a days he has changed a lot . I fell no fear of him . And before few years I couldn't even stand in front of him . I was so scared that I use to run behind mom and hide there .

When I was a kid, I'm really scared of my father to get angry even hearing him shouting my nerves get scared and I wanted to hide under my bed and never go out but that's impossible. He also hit me with belt or with his bare hands at my buttocks. It really hurts and I'm really scared so now I'm an adult, I prevent him to get angry with me because his not that young anymore and I'm not young too to be stubborn and act like a kid. But he get angry sometimes but now he just shouted and don't hit us (my siblings) anymore not unless if we did really terrible mistakes.

hihi haha,,you should be a good kid,then.... i wonder why do you scard your father.because he whipping you? if you are a good kid,he would not do this for you,though he even does not happy to do this for you. if you do not want to scared...just be a good kid,hehe good luck I am not scared of my dad or my mum,,they are nice and friendly to me,and to anybody..i like my parents so much. take care

That's called decent parenting.When I have kids though I wouldn't hit them.The mother is the soft one at most times but the father needs to be the hard one if so . if the kid gets spoiled all through his life he'll end up being a criminal or doing something in that manner.Parents like that will usually just let their kids get away with anything.

No! As my father was grown up like that,he didn't like to be a terror for us.We are allowed to be jovial towards him.It doesn't mean he was lineant.But he scolds and punishes us when we deserved them and not always.That was nice of him.Until now we have more respect for him.And now as a father myself,I am doing one step ahead.I am moving friendly with my kids.

I was never scared of him, though I was scared of his disapproval. He was never violent, always loving, but very disciplined. He was a preacher, so that makes sense, lol! Neither my father nor my mother had to touch us to make themselves understood - the voice was quite enough!

absolutly not my daddy is my best friend i guess i am a big daddys girl i go to him 4 everthing i goto my dad before i go to my mom or my husband... my daddy is one of a kind

yes we want to respect, when i am telling about respect it is not fear it is about giveing importance to him. the very first reason is that he is first and best to judge in the world what is the good and bad for his son/ daughter. he is the person who dreams about the child and works for them from teh day he/she born in the world.foremost thing he has seen the world for so many years i think he is the best person where we can take as mentor for our life.

erm..not really. my respect toward my father is far, far more than my fear of my father. he has the power to make me do what he say, although i donno what, but it may come from the respect. but, i will become scared of my father when he get angry (i think everyone feel the same). the reason for this is, i see my father as a wise man, the head of the family, and he know more and better than me. and all he did is for my very own good.
