Dad appreciation thread

You are pathetic. Your dad probably doesn't hate you, but he's definitely disappointed that his son turned out to be such a fucking ungrateful retard.
 
hate to say it but this guy knows whats up.

unless you fucked your mom... then i could see why he hates you
 
I love this thread. And I love my pops. I've definitely adopted his laid back view on life, and I have a lot of respect for him. I'm definitely his "little girl" as I grew up with 3 brothers. And he really loved the fact that I played ball just as good, if not better than my brothers. He's a hard working man and I really owe him a lot. He's been there for me through thick and thin and I am very thankful for that.
 
wow. You don't know that. For all you know he could be possibly one of the biggest assholes, be abusive, angry, and miserable.

Kinda like my dad except I would never say I hate him.
 
The dad got me into skiing, helped me come down from the clouds and be a responsible man even when I was dreaming about pow, taught me my values and helped mold me into the realist I am today. I was fortunate to have a happy household growing up and I know my pops worked hard to help us grow.

This was a good thread idea.
 
I live my dad. He was chill but strict whenever I started acting like a prick. He taught me so much about sports and past the age of 17 when I realized all that e had done for me in my life I have never and will never take him for granted. Its difficult to understand how hard parenting is an how much your parents do for you with little to no compensation
 
My dad came to America with $400 in his pocket and his new wife (my mom) still in poland, he spent the next 2 years getting a job, car and home. Eventually my mom moved to the states, my dad found out she picked up smoking while he was gone, immediately made her quit.They both received citizenship in some sketchy way. They had a small place in the city and some shitty car for a while. Eventually they stepped it up and bought another house in the city, and then they had my sister. They didnt like the city so they moved to the burbs, then I was born. I was raised there till the end of 5th grade, when we moved 5 minutes away into another burb house, but also it was even bigger. But the house was old as shit, and my dad spent 3 years doing a complete renovation of the entire house, every fucking room, by himself, by hand. Now our house honestly looks like it could be out of a Good Living magazine. Last year his brother died of lung cancer, all my families relatives live in Poland.

Throughout all this my dad and mom both got good jobs, neither of them had a real college education, yet my mom has a job as a government accountant and my dad is a production plant manager. My mom is ok at english, my dad can only get his point across and thats about it. My family travels to places like Italy, Poland, Morocco, Spain etc. yearly and also my dad and I almost always go to a place like Yosemite or RM National Park to go hiking/backpacking. Ski trips every year in the winter. Traveling is huge for my family. My sister just graduated from U of I and I am currently a freshman there, not a cheap school, but our parents are helping us pay for it.

My dad has seriously taught me everything valuable I know, he has showed me the value of hard work, love, commitment and honor.

Yet Im still a fucking prick to him a bunch, but I guess thats what happens while were young.

I love you dad, youre the greatest father anyone could ask for and I'm lucky to have you.
 
Oh and he beat my ass when I was kid and thank god he did, made me tough and respectful. If you want to have a well rounded kid, gotta smack um once in a while
 
This thread made me so happy...

Thanks for putting up with my shit, dad, and not turning me into a complete fuckup.

 
my dad. i have met fewer people that have gone through as much shit in his life as he has and be an amazing person. for some one who got divorced once. watched his second wife die slowly of cancer and then marry my mom and have me is amazing. i mean i live 20 min away from my parents cause. hell i love them. and my dad has helped me do every thing. he got me up skiing when i was 4 years old. and helped me in every sport i was ever in. taught me to swim and camp and fly fish. and so many things.

he has taught me how to make bread from scratch and make jams and jellies. and that a real man fears not of the kitchen. taught me to RESPECT EVERYONE BUT FEAR NOBODY. he has put me in his place when i have been acting up . and helped me with my worst days in my life. and i have helped him with his shit too. he has some very epic baggage that i will not talk about on her.

basically i fucking love my dad. we are planning to go skiing this week. he cannont do it a much since his hip was replaced but you would not know that since he kayaks and rides his bike.

this is a letter he wrote on the back of a poster he framed for me when i almost lost my ability to walk.

our family has strong long times to Timberline lodge.. from your very first skiing days, your high school project. the season you put butts in the seats as a "liftie". working in the kitchen, doing janitor work and housekeeping. your mother and my visit one Christmas when there were fresh tracks every run , and we had that great dinner in the lodge under the huge Christmas tree.





timberline is not just a place.. its a state of mind and we share that broad view of timberline as a family, Years from now you will fondly remember the early days we shared, and the many trips to the mountain you made with your family and friends. you will recall your first skis, the shorties, the new skis boots that were stolen, the timberline jackets and shirts, the awesome days and nights the huckleberry inn, grooming the slopes with the grandfather of groomers and his death on the highway.





and i am sure you will remember your recent fall., this was not a baby crash. the mountain can take life as easily as it gives life. my offer to get you a helmet at last and your promise to wear it m is a gift both ways, from your mother and me to you and from you to us





i hope this art print will burn deeply into your treasure chest of memories and the it will remind you always of the joy and peace and challenges the mountain has presented you over the years.





I love you and i have from the first moment i held you before even your mother held you. you are a joy filled young man. you have a lot of living and doing ahead of you. Ski and live your life with courage and skill , and you will be safe.





yeah and that letter is the style of my dad. i used to get bugged when he would make a moment so prophetic and deep. then i realized that not many people do that. and i should be lucky to have some one that does.

and every day i find i do stuff like my dad. and yes i hope i do not get as goofy as him but i take it in stride

love you dad. to many more years together
 
Haha! When i saw the thread title i immideately thought it was a thread similar to the hipbone and backdimple threads, soooooo relieved i was wrong!
 
You got a dope grandpa dude. My gpa's died before I was even bored. One of them died when my dad was two, so he doesn't remember him. Be thankful.

But my dad is awesome. He shreds with me but doesn't go balls to the wall. Oh well, he's got a fucked up knee.
 
Man this about him too. He may be a bit of a hick, but he's the one who always took me to aquariums and science museums and stuff, without him im. Ot sure about how my childhood would've gone down. Btw, very sorry to anyone who has lost their father or who's father isn't always there for them, i couldnt imagine the feel.
 
Didnt meet my dad until i was 18 years old. I don't see him often or know much about him but I am so proud to be his son.
 
this for me too. he took us out to ski when we were kids.

my dads awesome, but don't see him enough. i miss him so much, but he's always there when i need him to be.
 
My dad's awesome. One of the most socially gifted people I know (probably the) and always there for you. Sucks my dad sucks at a LOT of things (including skiing), except cycling, which he's a total nut about and is frigging good at. And he's ALWAYS there for us. Never complaining about shit and always trying to go on an adventure. I seriously couldn't have wished for other people as my parents!
 
He is a fuckin' rad dude I must say. Two dad thumbs way up!

My dad is the man. The dude can quite literally make anything from scratch. I've seen him design and build machines the size of garages by himself. He's tow strapped me out of ditches, bailed me out of trouble, whooped dat ass when I deserved it and has always been there for me. Now we're making great money together and have grabbed this bitch by the horns 100%. Love you dad. Hope you're in the mood for 12oz filets on the grill and some cold Sams this afternoon, cause you're fuckin' getting em. Cheers to sticking with it paying off!
 
Watch this, for all the homies out there who might not have the best situation right now, I know it makes me feel a little bit better about everything.

 
I've been there, with my dad!

My dad introduced me to skiing when I was 2 years old. He's done 5 seasons in the alps, and skied lots of gnarly stuff. The day he showed me around in Cham was totally crazy, I got so much new respect for him.

We definitely don't share the same outlook on life, he's very competitive and think's that life is about having a job and getting money. He is stereotypically white upper middleclass, even though we're more like lower middleclass, if that is even a thing. Weirdly, we do share a common view on politics. We've done some cool things together, including skiing, hiking, sailing, and things like that. He can also cook up incredible meals, and secretly he probably wants to be a chef.

He made me read books when I was younger, and that is one of the best things a parent can do.

The most awesome thing about him however, is that he trusts me. And as a result of that, I'm always honest to him.
 
love this video

my dad is probably the smartest person i know, i still view him as the guy with the answer to everything...

great thread :)

 
i love my dad. he died in 97 when i was 4. he was in a snowmobile accident where a bridge that he was on collapsed. this is really the first time in quite a few years that i am feeling really sad and it fucking sucks to think about how i never got to know him. from what ive been told by my family, he was one of the most awesome, honest, down to earth people ever. he was just one of the good ol boys who liked to fix cars, have some fun in them, then fix them again, build things, shoot guns. he was a veteran and was just starting to get his life going the way that he wanted it to go. he was never a man of many words or a lot of money, but he was smart with his money and smart with his words. he always knew what he wanted and would work hard to achieve that goal. i would give anything in the world to have him back and i encourage everybody to be safe while riding this coming winter. as soon as i get thee money saved up i am getting a tattoo that remembers him. love you dad LAN '67-'97
 
He is from sweden. Wich means USA has their fathers-day today, whilst sweden and most scandinavian countries has their in november.
 
haha most people are saying how their dad taught them how to ski. I taught my dad how to ski. none the less i still love him for everything
 
Thats awesome man! congrats! I absolutely cannot wait to be a dad. I think it would be the best thing in the world having a kid who loves you
