Emerald Coast Comics | Commission Me| Commission My Friends | ECC On DA

So my dad is wanting to run the place he used to work at for my uncle, right? All in all, he "needs" help to do it, so he's been bugging me and mom about it. So far he's asked me twice, and both times I told him I didn't want to. I really don't want to tell him no, but I can't work with him even short term, so how am I supposed to run a business with him? The two of us get in arguments faster than you can light a match and things tend to go from there.

I mean, I love my Dad, but I know we wouldn't make good business partners. I almost always never say no when either of my parents ask me to help them with something. I don't like saying no unless I absolutely have to. This just bothers me. :\

You don't want to seriously. My step-dad works under his father, a family business and almost everyday he is complaining about how his dad treats him. Actually last week my dad had the day off and his father called saying he had an emergency... "To fix a doorbell" D=

You just have to work it right or be dead honest.

Well its true when they say family can never work together. I can't work with my dad in the shop because I can never seem to do anything right lol, we just like you said can't agree with anything.

lol. So I hear. I remember you talking about it, and it sounded much the same as my working relationship with my dad.

I could work it perfect and he'd find something wrong.

I know how that is. I have the same relationship with my mom.

She and I get into fights all the time, but she complains when I don't call or visit often.

I think its just a parental syndrom that despite having a hard time communicating and getting along, parents want to ensure their "kids" are still involved in their lives. Like a adult psychological security blanket.

I don't really know what to say to this, well, by saying no to your dad you're avoiding all the arguments and stuff, but if you say yes, maybe you both will finally find a way to get along...

No is the best answer. I don't often turn him down, and I'm not afraid to argue with him, but I will not work in that kind of environment regardless of who it is. I would like to help my Dad out in some way, but working with him does more harm than good. I'm not avoiding anything. As for being able to get along, we get along fine when it's not a working together, most of the time.

My dad is wanting to get me a job that he's sure will offer me more pay than a part time job, as well as getting himself some extra help at the auto shop. Problem with that is, I'm not concerned so much about money that it will make working with him any easier. Aside from that, if he would actually slow down when he worked instead of trying to do everything at once, he'd probably not only get things done quicker and more effectively, but he'd also find time to do the stuff that he wants me to help him do. My Uncle does fine on his own.
