I perhaps risk of committing a sin?

Your 37 years old and you are behaving like child. I suggest you try and grow up

When you do these things for fun, and when you do it for fun, there is love behind it, I don't consider that it is a sin. I consider that is better to have a father like a friend, and not like somebody who you fear from. This is how I treat my parents, my brother and my friends and they know that I do it just for having some fun, but I try not to pass a border when I would hurt them. If your father thinks you are doing something wrong, you should talk with him about it and decide if he can accept this or not. But if you have done like this all of your life, hadn't he got used to it?

You mock your father and make faces behind his back? It wouldn't be a sin if you think that it's just a game and he thinks the same thing too. But it seems that you are both on the wrong page of the book. It means, he thinks otherwise. To continue doing it despite what he said to you, would now become a sin, because you are aware that it's hurting him.

alberello: The situation is like this -- you are not having regular employment or under employed-- you have also been under medical care for a year -- probably you do not earn for the family. If you make mockery then it may make him think that you are making fun/sin. fun is also sin when it is taken so by the receiver. You like your father-- make him understand this and then things will be quite fine. you are not committing sin , in my view i place myself your in father's place and empathise you.

We can all live the life we choose. Dishonoring your father for me means that you do not follow his advice, not his choices. Our parents tell us not to be criminals, if we become a criminal then we dishonour them. But by choosing our own way in life we do not.

Hi friend, i don't think you are disrespecting your father, you are just playing game with him. If he is not interested in your activity as well as get hurts with it, better to give it up and do his favor. Always be a good son to your father and get appreciation from him

Hello alberello. It seems to me you are not showing your father much respect when you make faces and mock him behind his back. Now this is something that can be expected from a ten year old not a 37 year old man even one with some mental illness. Surely there are better ways of having fun or teasing your father?

If he knows that you do this, and you know that he knows and you also knows that he dislikes you doing it, then you ar not respecting his wishes surely?

Exactly why do you make faces behind your father's back? Is that really necessary and do you think its nice? Obviously you're doing something that is peeving him. It's a shame you feel you must mock your father.

hi there... even it is out of your intention to dishonour your father, still indirectly you did it by your own way. i guess, it is just normal act for you and it does not have a true meaning or you did not mean to hurt him. hmmm... but you joked around with him that made him furious. and there flickered the misconceptions which lead to misunderstanding between you and him. so then conflict was being created. friend if you may so, you are much aware of his feelings about the matter so try to loosen it up. well, give it to him what he wanted and try to minimize that mockery action until being banished in your whole system. or yet, try to talk with him that doing it was not your total intention because you want to hurt him or to disrespect him (for hard to explain but you are indeed). enough joking with your father that way not to flare him up. so simply as that.
