Is it normal for a dad to jump into his son's decisions?
Recently he accepted a job offer that was directed to me. I got mad and asked why on earth he would do that.
He provocatively answered "Who are you to make this decision? I'm allowed to decide over you! Don't be so disrespectful towards your dad!".
If he was not my dad, I would have beaten the shit out of him.
PS: I'm still in college that's why I can't leave atm.

    No its not normal... But I would say to your dad " good luck on your new job"

    Yeah... No. If you're an adult in full capacity, there is no reason for someone else to make that kind of decision.
    By the way, how did the company react? I can't believe they would accept to get a response from a different person than the intended target.

    Yeah no. I'd tell him to please fuck off in a nice way. I had to have the same stern talk with my father once about how it's my life and I do what I want to, when he applied for a job on my behalf.

    I'm sure he means well, but if you're legally an adult then no, he doesn't get to decide anything (besides of course 'living under his roof' rules)

    @Jilano my dad did not fill the paper with information. Besides of that he can not replicate my sign.
    The company did not get any response.
    @Codex404 I put all my confidence together and had a 2-hours-lasting, screamful discussion with him.

    You can find another job but your dad is the one and only one.

    Don’t be mad at him and go finish your college.
    Good luck.

    @Biggy @Elyz I am legally an adult and I am able to take my own decisions.

    @-ANGRY-CLIENT- good luck, man. Any chance you could move to a dorm? Don't know where you're from, but I highly recommend it if dorms aren't completely overpriced and shitty where you are. Definitely improved my quality of life getting the hell out of my parents' house 😂

    Your family gatherings must be fun.

    Yeah, that's a pretty weird thing to do considering that you're an adult. How did the screamful discussion go? Did he change his mind?

    All these people saying he's an adult lol. No, he's not. Being over 18 does not magically make you an adult. And he's not idependent yet, as well.

    It's not acceptable for the dad to do what he did though.

    @irene @Quirinus Exactly. Not saying all his decisions will be perfect, far from it, actually, but that's not the point.

    How on Earth can your dad (or any other person not being you) accept a job offer in your name? Why is it binding in any way?

    No, again, no, it's not something he should've done. But I could see my dad pulling the same kind of shit. There's a reason I left at 16.

    @rutee07 that must play a role in why so many parents in china at the age of 70 domt even know if their child is alive, and their children dont collect the ashes of their parents... I can imagine me feeling free. If that happened to me.

    @irene if they died, in China there is closets full of ashes in town halls, ashes of cremated people whose children dont want to do effort for the remains of their parents.

    @rutee07 why if I may ask?

    @rutee07 agreed. Nobody can hold that kind of boiling rage forever. I blew up too after many years. Good intentions aside, it becomes too much.

    @rutee07 even though I personally wouldn't hold value to the ashes it is so weird to imagine this for me,

    Is he like that all the time? If yes, then i personally wouldn't care if he was my dad or not, I'd still beat the shit out of him

    @Taqriaqsuk This was my thought as well. I mean my parents were strict and all, but would never have done that.
