Got a new job and have worked there a little over a week. I'm really grasping the information, and yet they keep babying me and micromanaging. Am I wrong to feel a bit impatient?

Ever been unfairly hit as a child or threatened to be hit for no reason?

My father had his moment when he was a total jerk and sometimes inconsistent. I don't call hitting with a belt or hands in frustration/anger spanking; I call it hitting. To me hitting

My father had his moment when he was a total jerk and sometimes inconsistent. I don't call hitting with a belt or hands in frustration/anger spanking; I call it hitting. To me hitting is hitting. Some trivial things, I got hit and when I was once suspended in 8th grade for 5 days, I was immediately forgiven and even excused.

Moments he was a jerk:
2nd - 3rd grade: hit with a belt in frustration and anger for not getting the right answer to math homeworks on time or not being a fast learner. Another time it was for not learning how to use the ruler properly nor measure inches in a math problem.

5th grade: chased (well obviously a kid is going to run too; do you expect them to stay still and like getting hit with a belt) and locked myself in the bathroom for an hour or so. All that for not knowing how to properly operate a remote control as he was ''trying to teach'' me but got very impatient by the 3rd explanation and I ran fast as soon as he showed up with a leather belt. Then he had the nerves to ground me (that was his secondary option if he didn't get to use the belt) and nearly cancel my 11th b-day... as if I had done something wrong. Till this day I can't understand what I did wrong in not learning fast.

Threatened to be hit with a belt:
Both times in my freshman year of HS. One for losing a golden bracelet my political aunt had given me on my birthday. Last he ever threatened to use that (one month before my 15th b-day), he gave me some money to spend it and I bought a new pair of jeans with it. I didn't know this was going to make him furious, so once again I locked myself in the bathroom and my mother had to calm him down.

What I learned:
- Absolutely nothing
- Not to do that to a child if I ever had kids
- How scary a man in his full rage can turned; that contradicts his protective instinct because how is he (esp your own father) protecting you if he's hitting you with a belt or threatening to use it
- Have an increasing desire towards finding a mild tempered man that's against hitting a child (that we're on the same page)
