Today, I got back home from work and casually asked my dad, "What's up?" He casually replied, "Wishing I'd had a son instead." and stared glassy-eyed at me until I left the room. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home to find my dad drinking. Trying to be cheerful, I greeted him with a "Hi, dad!" He sighed, shook his head, and said "It hurts me when you call me that." FML
Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in to talk. He said I'm not the son he'd hoped for, and that he'd been let down as a father. He said I should change the way I am so that he could love me more. It was the longest conversation I've had with my dad in years. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad returned home from deployment. Being the grade A fucktard that I am, I got flustered and asked, "So um, did you make it back?" He looked me dead in the eyes and said completely deadpan, "No, obviously I died. Moron." FML
Today, my son was crying because he wanted his daddy, and he asked when he can see him. I had no idea what to say, given his dad left us in the middle of the night last year, now lives in another country, and told me he never wants to see us again. FML
Today, during the early hours, I got hungry and went to grab something to eat. I entered the kitchen, only to see my stark-naked dad sitting at the table, eating cereal and reading the paper. He just nodded at me and said, "Son." I think I need a new pair of eyes. FML
Today, my dad and a construction worker were having a long talk. I heard the door slam, and assumed that this worker had left. So I yelled out, "Hey dad what were you talking about? Did you talk slowly so the idiot could understand?" Turns out my dad was the one who had walked out. FML
Today, as I was leaving home for my mall kiosk job, my dad asked me where I was off to. When I said I was going to work, he tossed an empty beer bottle to the floor, belched, and said "Bah! Get a REAL job!" He's unemployed and living in my apartment. FML
Today, I saw my son. I didn't know I had a son. FML
Today, I looked over to see my grandfather looking thoughtfully at me. Feeling flattered because he rarely shows affection, I waved at him. He then said, "I was looking out the window" and continued to stare past my head out of the window. FML
Today, my dad sat me down for a talk. After the talk, he wasn't my dad anymore. FML

My dad used to say, "I was hoping for a son, then you grew up and I realized I had one."

tell him well go knock up some chicks I'm pretty sure he would have one then or go to a adoption place there is a bunch of boys looking for a good home and to get his head out of his a**

He'd rather have a boy than OP. I don't think the dad wants yet another child to raise.

Don't we all love parents...

Sorry, OP. That was a terrible thing for him to say. I hope you are doing okay. I, too, know what it's like to feel unwanted and unappreciated. Keep your chin up!

I'm always shocked when I read FML at how mean and horrible some parents & grandparents are! No child should be treated that way. They made the decision to have kids, or at least keep them, so suck it up and be a good parent!

Don't worry OP when he is old leave his ass in a bad home.

Yes, because of one comment, probably made when he was drunk or high, she should ruin the last few years of his life.

No one deserves to be treated badly and doing it to her father when he isn't able to take care of himself isn't any better. If OP is a good person, which I assume she is, she should continue to treat him with kindness and be the better person. Doing something drastic like that which is mean and out of character will only make her feel guilty and won't make her any happier or her life any better.

My best friend's dad treats her exactly like a son, he doesn't really give her a chance to be girly, so while I cannot relate she certainly can. Sorry OP.

If you look in the top left corner, you'll see a gender icon indicating that OP is in fact female.
