a few weeks ago, i came home where my parents live. There is something important that i had to take from my room and also i had to talk to my dad about something. Well lately i need laptop more and more, because i want to apply for my master degree. i need to be online to search for the information and i can't depend on internet cafe, because it's so expensive and there are many free internet around me.
After i had said that, he became furious of me and ask me why i didn't ask this before. I told him that i didn't need it so badly before but now i really need. But he still furious about me and make me become so furious of him
The next day we went to buy laptop. Well luckily i can choose what i want with limitation of money. after couple hours judging it then i pointed the model that i wanted with this specification and he started to bargain with the seller. My dad ask me to have a lunch, but i didn't want to because i want to go home quickly because the journey can take for 2 hours minimum and i wanted to go home before it's dark.
After we got back, my dad told my mom that i didn't have lunch. then he got furious about that and told my mom that i must go to see the psikolog about this. Just because i refused to eat there. Well My reason is because that i want to go home before it's dark and i want to start learning about this laptop.
Well that is why i glad having this laptop but i'm not happy. But still this is something that i need and i have to put a side my anger.

Well,,well,,well,,
That's what a child should be,obey your parents!!;)
I think it's good that your dad bought you a laptop, you should be happy for that, because not everyone can get the laptop that they wish for, you are one of the lucky one! About they furious, yaa sometimes well much of times, we have to accept that, just like "cost&reward" thing. They already give us what we want, so there's ok if we obey what they want too, including all their furious!;)
Parents is the most important in our life, just be patient. 'Cause indeed, they'll love to see us happy, they want you to finish your master degree as soon as possible and of course with a great GPA!
Good luck pal!

now that's the problem.
the basic principle of relationship between parent and a children should be parent are responsible for their children and a children don't have any duties for their parent, but they will take care of them because they love them, not by force.
But many parents are not like this, they don't think like this. i don't know what is the reason. but all my life i'm trying to answer this question and took me about 20 years to answer this.

I'm going to answer you from a parents point of view this time. Please look through your father's eyes for just a moment and you will put your anger aside with no problem.
A father is seeing his son....now a man, growing and becoming independent and that's a good thing. As time passes the son has less and less time for his family as he gets on with his own life. Your Dad asking you to have lunch really had nothing to do with eating but with spending a few precious moments with his son who should be very happy with him at the moment being he just bought his son a laptop computer than he needed. You're father was upset with you because he doesn't feel important to you. You should have taken the time to have lunch with your father H2hydrogenz. He won't be there forever and it's little things like this that you will regret when he is gone.
Please don't be offended. I'm only trying to help you to see his side of it and maybe to not have so many things to regret in the future after he is gone. I know I'de have spent a lot more time with my Mom if I had a chance to do it over again. Hugs.....I think you should ask your father to just hang out with you or out for a meal to make it up to him.

You and I have the same point of view about him. I should went lunch with him, but i chose not to join lunch with him. I have been watching him all my life, but he never change his attitude. Well i don't want to talk about his bad side, but his only good side is his eagerness to be healthy. This is something that i really admire of him all my life, because i'm still lazy to do exercise .
