Search Results: birthday celebration

My birthday is coming soon this week, but for the last two years I haven’t really celebrated it because I just feel like it’s unnecessary. I don’t really care to invite friends over to spoil me simply because of the fact I was born. If anyone is going to be spoiled it should be the people that gave birth to me right? I don’t understand the concept of birthdays, are they just societal expectations?

My parents are split up but have decided that both have the right to still be a part of the family. My dad comes over for Christmas, birthdays, family celebrations, and comes over a couple times a week to see my sister and I.

I feel really uncomfortable leaving my little sister alone with him. On days I have to work, my dad and sister spend their time together and she always looks anxious and uncomfortable when I come home from work. She has problems with her back so my dad offers to massage her and it's creepy to me. He's also stares at her body a lot, keeps comparing her to mom, and gets really angry whenever she tells him "no!". He also keeps trying to get her to come to his apartment alone, emphasizing that nobody else should be around. My sister told mom and I that he made sexual jokes about his penis and often suggests not to bring her cellphone when they go on drives.

Girls, do your fathers act like this to you? Does it make you uncomfortable? I thought maybe I wouldn't know because I'm a guy and dads treat their sons different from their daughters. But the way dad acts around my sister really creeps me out.
