Why is it that no matter what I do nothing is ever good enough for my dad?

[jongreat46]

For example I got two jobs but at one job the workers drank and smoked weed and I used to be an addict and I didn't want to be around it so I quit because I didn't want to trigger my addiction. Yet, my dad got upset and didn't give me a chance to explain and criticized me having a restaurant job and said I was living in poverty. No matter what I do my dad never sees my success and loves to criticize but yet when someone criticizes him he gets upset and acts all offended and gives you the silent treatment and he is the type of person who gets upset that no one wants to take his criticism but yet when you honestly criticizes him then he gets mad and thinks he doesn't have a right to be criticized.

Damn, that sounds like my dad. He always acts like he is perfect. I just gave up on arguing with him. When I did not have a job, he complained, and I would tell him, "oh, I am a deadbeat, but when I had a job and was paying for you and your broke ass, I was the provider, right?" he only complains when I do not have a paycheck. Since I finished college and I have paychecks coming, he dont say anything. I have been tutoring and working in cybersecurity. I am making 7k a month. But if I lost my job, he would start talking again.
