jennEfer Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I got my acceptance letter from Rutgers today!!! (horray for me) My mom congradulated me, I think she is more excited about it than I am. Well, my dad came home and asked me what i got from Rutgers... when i told him what it was his reply was "oh". WTF??? No congrats, no good jog, just "oh". I really cannot tell, is he just an asshole, or is he an idiot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mareluna Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 hey girl, congrats... well, of course i don't know your dad but my father did the same thing to me when i was all excited and got accepted to colleges and whatnot. he would just say 'oh' and i'd be like what the flank.. he's not really an affectionate so i realized he said "oh" and not "Congratulations!!!!!!!!" because he knew i would get accepted to the places i applied to... but yea, i was still a lil pissed.. on top of that, my dad never went to college (typical italian father lol) so he doesn't know how hard the process of just applying to colleges is.. it's a lil tough to look at it in their shoes, but sometimes there is a reason for their idiocy lol...congratulations again baby and good luck with everything.. remember that your life has just begun..peace! --daniela ------------------ "Music is well said to be the speech of Angels.""And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."AoL: MAReLuNa[This message has been edited by mareluna (edited 02-24-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungoddess Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Aw, Jenn, congratulations! That's great news! Maybe your dad is having a hard time accepting the fact that his little girl is growing up. College is a huge deal; maybe he is worried that he'll "lose" his little girl in the process. I think the best thing to do is to keep him involved in the whole admissions process, and invite him to offer his opinion. Keeping him up-to-date on your plans, classes, et cetera will probably make him feel like a part of this exciting event. Even though he may not be expressing all the positivity that your mom is, rest assured, he is surely VERY proud of you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzero263 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 MY DAD IS KIND OF LIKE THAT TOO.THEY JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS WHAT THEY FEEL INSIDE IN TO WORDS.IT HURTS, BUT LET ME TELL YOU AS THEY GET A LITTLE OLDER THEY LEARN HOW TO.THE REASON IS THAT THEY HAVE A FEAR OF BEING ALONE SO THEY HAVE TO START TO OPEN UP.GIVE HIM A BREAK HE S YOUR DAD.JUST KNOW HE LOVES YOU AND TAKE HIM FOR WHAT HE IS.GOOD LUCK IN SCHOOL AND CONGRATS.FZERO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djustinh Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Asshole or idiot... I would say probably neither. He obviously just doesn't have a way or know howto be affectionate and congratulate you, either way who cares, he is the one paying for the yearly payments ofl ike 20 grand.. hehe good luck girl.------------------"a mind stretched by new dimensions can never be the same again" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesandman Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 If your Dad knew the difference in price between Rutgers and a private school his reaction would of been a lot different... Don't sweat it, Dads take a while to figure out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigs Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 I agree with everyone here. The reality of his little girl going to college, therefore growing up, probably hit him when you actually got your acceptance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
