Ok, let me cut to the chase. I came from work yesterday and my Dad comes in with a letter from an insurance company. He comes to me and asks me what the letter is about, mind you it has my name on the letter. So i politely tell him why did he open up my letter with my name on it?
Next thing you know he gets all upset about because i asked him why he opened my letter. I told him he could have waited till i got home or something. But he was like that he knows which letters under my name he can open up and which letters he cant. Then i was like, thats not right. Its disrespecting me and on top of that its against the law to do so.
Then he comes at me like, "i spent 20 years working long and hard for you (ect. ect.) and now you want me to respect YOU and not open up your letters?" He goes on to say, "i dont care about the Laws, this is my house and i make the Laws. If you dont like it i will continue to open up ALL the letters you recieve. If you need your privacy that much then get your own place"
Im like, calm down it wasnt for all of that. Im not saying you cant read them, all im saying is like you can wait till i come from work or school and i'll open them up in front of you. Hes like, "Im your father and i can open up Any letter i want, because i know which ones to open and which ones i cant. As long as you are under my roof i can do that"
The i told him, you dont see ME opening up your letters do you? He was like "You see thats different. Im your father, you're not my father. Its a totally different concept"
We were pretty much back and forth with that. But my thing is, i didnt want to come off as rude, and sorry if i did. What i really was trying to get across was if you respect me, then you should not open my letters, doesnt matter if they are junk mail or not.
All i know is that he got all mad and bent out of shape because of it.
What this is doing is actually getting me more motivated to move out. Its about time right? Im 19.
What do you think of the situation? All comments welcomed. The more the better.
/end rant.
