I am in a kind of 'never meet your heros situation?'

Everyone thinks my dad is great, funny, kind, hard working. My next door neighbour who recently fell out with her only son, said she wishes he was more like my dad.

But i have to live with him and can't wait to move out. (please noone complain that i'm moaning, you don't have to live with this man)

~He always complains he has no money, yet buys at least £15 of food that is unecessary each week, then wastes half the meat - another ten pound at least, by not using the left overs. Yet he smokes and must spend £15-20 a week on that, so we could save about £50 a week (he tries to give up but he admitted that he doesn't really want to, but says he could easily if he wanted to)

~He is such a fussy eater, its rediculous, and saturday is normally the only night i get to have rice, noodles or pasta, and if i get a big pack of noodles i have a stir fry instead of a proper roast on a sunday. But the rest of the week its potatoes and rarely anything else.

~He took no notice in my school work, and didn't even know what gcse subjects i took, he thought i'd taken art instead of maths! But when i got asked to stay behind for revision, for my up coming exams, he told me off for getting a detention, which it wasn't, but he thought i got it because i weren't paying attention in lessons and needed to catch up.

~My oldest brother is 24 years older than me, and i think he thinks that he can bring me up the same way that he did him and my other siblings, but times have moved on, until i'm eighteen the only boy thats allowed round, is my gay friend, who i've known since we were 8.

So am i living in a never meet your heros situation, and if people had to live with him all of the time, would they feel the ame way about him do you think?

You can fit two cars on our front lawn, what a car boot sale that would be, and there's nowhere else around, the only fields there are without going into the town are farmers fields that he wont want trampling and the school fields and the pe department says no to car boot sales as they ruin the field.
Molly - who is your hero?

nope, my ideal weight for height is between eight and a half and just under nine stone. But because of my injury to my foot, i find it hard to do any more exercise, but the dcotors fine with what i do, aslong as i eat healthier but my dad won't make healthier food or buy me healthier options to cook my self, and i can't buy my own food either.
"hes too stuborn and set in his ways to listen. "

a family trait!
Molly, the bottom line is, what can you do to change your situation? You dont have a job at the moment due to location, so can't fund your own food shopping. I dont know what the answer is? I do understand your worries though.

I haven't really got one. I admire people like Jaques Cousteau, and David Attenborough, and want to do what they did/do.
Question Author
But even when i doctor tells him that he needs to eat healthier else he'll get heart diesease or something, he still won't listen.
Question Author
