Family and Respect - Update!!!!

I have a bit of a rant here... I doubt anyone will read this... however if you do... I would love to have a bit of advice here....

My father has been in a financial bind for many years and I have been helping him out. I bought him a cell phone (and pay the bill) I bought him a car, I pay for his gas for said car, When his car needed work I paid for it (over $500) I pay for his medical insurance, I feed him at least 5 days a week - the only thing I ask is that he drive my kids to school and watch my dogs everyonce in a while..

I do these things out of respect and because he is my father....I am the oldest of 3 girls and I am the only one that helps him.... I just can't leave him to flounder any more.... It is my duty to help my family...

However, he came over to watch my dogs this past weekend holiday while I took my kids camping - he has always had full access to the fridge, the computer, the TV etc.... yet, my dad is the type of person that just has to mess with things that do not need fixed...

Needless to say - I have spent the last 2 days trying to fix my computer because he just didn't feel like things were fast enough for him.....

At this point, I'm totally beside myself - I finally got it fixed however told my dad that from here on out he cannot be on my computer - he is more than welcome to bring his computer here and plug in to my phone line (I'm on dial up yet).... I'm sick of finding porn shit, sick of finding things uploaded to my computer that slow it down even more or just totally fuck it up....
Anyway, after I told my dad this - he goes on a revenge streak stating - "Well fine then, don't bother to ask me to watch your dogs or babysit your kids anymore"

I'm sick of this shit anymore - sick of being given ultimatums - because I am trying to protect my stuff -

So anyway - sorry for the rant - but just had to get it off my chest...
If anyone has any ideas or help for me - I'm honored to have your help!!!!

This is why I won't give it to them either but OH well - we will see how things go

Somedays he's like Fire and Ice - complete opposite of everything...

U were not in the wrong to tell your dad he needs to respect your space.... if he gets upset let him i am sure that after a while u will talk to him about it again.... it does sound like you have a good relationship with you dad so i am sure that he will understand where u are comming from and i am sure if he doesn't already give him that little nudge... u have your kids to think about with the computer stuff being downloaded on your puter!!!; ▶ Reply to This

AHHHH!!!! ok - I know I told him to bring his computer - but common sense says just bring the hard drive - I swear that his common sense is just non-existent..... Oh well, The things we have to put up with......
