White bread is good for toast and wiping your backside on if you run out of bog paper. FACT!
Oh nd the OP is acting like a 12 year old. If he was mine I'd throw him out. We are also a bit short of money at the moment because of me changing jobs and our son works 40 hours+ to help us out. He also doesn't care what pie it is as long as it is pie.
Me like pie.
You'd chuck your son out for arguing over pie and not setting up the table. Another quality response.

Damnit. If I make pie the boy eats it or I smack him with my belt. Also if he doesn't get his lazy ass back down the pit earning some cash so I can drink ale there will be trouble.
p)The wife calls me Victorian for some reason.
Not my fault I believe in not sparing the rod. Strict discipline (and perhaps some national service) would solve a lot of problems with we seem to be having with the "youth" of today.
Not going to argue with you there, i'm all for national service for lazy oiks!
i have had loads of arguments with my dad at home, from age of 9 to 25 we fought like mad over simple things, even things like stiring a cup the wrong way round...
Got him into a pub one day when we were ok with each other and we talked about why we fought a lot, turned out he was jelous of my relationship with my mother and he wa upset at the fact she took my side 9/10 times. He was also having a crap time at work and took it out on me... wasnt anything i did, wasnt anythign he did, was just life making him a bit mad. After a good chat we sorted it out.
Maybe you need to sit down with your dad, without your mum, in the pub and talk it out.
Remeber -- even dads have bad days...

Yes.
If you're old enough to fund an 05 Mini etc, then you're old enough to sort out the problem of having nothing in the house to eat yourself.
You can live at home, and enjoy toys you wouldn't otherwise enjoy if you stood on your own two feet, but you can't bitch about it too, even if he is wrong.
You made your choice, live with the consequences, or don't, and get your priorities in order.

Offering you a choice and then getting you the one you don't want seems a bit odd really, almost like he was having a bad day and wanted an excuse to take it out on you. "I bring you your dinner home and this is the thanks I get...ungrateful ****...if you don't like how things are then why not move out..."
It's "funny" how even the most petty of things can be turned into an argument.
I also don't get you guys harping on about sorting his own food out. He has already said that he does that, yet on this occasion his dad offered to fix it for him.

I'm with you all the way on this one. I mean what kind of sicko eats kidney
People who aren't fussy and are adventurous and have a broad taste and a mature developed palette. Also people who have a modicum of taste and like food rich in nutrients and flavour. That kind of wierdo - children these days, so spoilt and have no idea what good nutrition is!

It sounds like your dad just had a bad day and was taking it out on you for some reason. couldn't you have picked the kidney out?

Perhaps he should have spent less on a car and more on paying his way?
Oh well as you say he has made his bed now he has to lay in it.
By the way, I had a Fiesta MkI when I lived at home with the folks because I paid them a fair share of money for food and stuff so couldn't afford a flashy car (like the MkII Fiesta I wanted
)No regrets, just learn from mistakes.
£200 is a decent amount to pay in 'board', but a pittance compared to a flatshare + bills + food. Some people can live with parents in harmony, clearly, he isn't one of those people.
Either learn the lesson that the cheap board allows you to afford luxuries like a decent laptop and a girls car (cheap shot
), and appreciate that by going the extra mile like doing the shopping (you have transport), or learn that you can't live peacefully, and re-evaluate your options and move out.You can afford it, you just can't afford it with your present outgoings. Don't be a victim, make a choice.
How long did you feel smug for after thinking that up?
About 7.3minutes But it gets longer every time its quoted
