[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I figured out that my father didn't want kids when I was around 8. He never wanted anything to do with us , ate our food off our plates, and basically acted like we were competition for my mom's attention. Never in my life did my father say good night to us, read to us, help us with homework, or take us anywhere solo.
If this ever comes up my mom gets very prickly and says "But he was a good provider." As opposed to my husband who doesn't make enough money for her standards but is a hands on dad.[/quote]My dad also competed with me for my mom's attention, even as a baby, as well as in everything else.  I've never heard anyone else have that issue, but it's been like that my whole life.  He's always competed with me over everything.  [/quote]

Very strange indeed for a father to resent his daughters. I ended up getting a higher SAT score than my dad and he was livid and listed reasons why it must have been a fluke. As opposed to being happy for one's own offspring.
He was very happy when I got a full ride to college though! He cashed out the 529 and treated himself to a new sports car.[/quote]
