Im told Iam, cant vouch for it as he died age 35 on my 6th birthday.
Are you anything like your dad?

Yes, in the way he wouldn't suffer fools gladly.
He was usually quiet & reserved, but when somebody pushed him too far, they usually ended up badly injured.

I f***ing hope I'm not.
Lovely sentiment. Sounds like a really good man.

I genuinely hope I don’t turn out like him.
He’s not a bad bloke but when you spend your days, your weeks and years looking after someone as they have made bad choices throughout life and haven’t made any effort to improve their lot, you end up despising them.
I genuinely hope I don’t give my kids the burden he is giving me.
Still wouldn’t drop him so do it regardless

You’ve mentioned him a few times and I have a lot of respect for you to take time out of your life to look after him as you do.

Nah me das a massive piece of shit that abused me ma and me at an early age. His first language was violence and he's a coward everything I hope I'm not and from my 41 years so far unless there's a massive u turn safe to say I'm nowt like him thankfully.

Not really no. He's totally laid back and lives life at one pace. His pace. I'm good at manual stuff which he taught me and good at solving problems. He's happy with his lot whereas I'm always aiming for something else. Unquestionably loyal and will do anything for anyone which is something I share with him. For me he's been an incredibly calming influence and always been there when needed. Wiser than he let's on too. Sacrificed half of his life offshore to make sure the family were provided for. If I can repeat that I'd be happy.

I hope I've taken the good stuff, and left the bad stuff

The differences are( were) generational, some questionable language around race but 100% not actually racist and quite rightly taught us to respect everyone regardless until they had proven they didn’t deserve that respect. Helped out round the house, did a bit of cooking. He was pretty enlightened for someone of his time though
He liked a good drink and a bet and I’m not a big gambler.
The older I get the more I realise I’m basically a more modern version of him, produced in the 70’s rather than the 30’s.
I’m fairly comfortable with that, he was essentially a good man, loved my mam to bits and was a loving dad.

My dad was a man of morals with a compass pointing in the right direction. I am similar believe it or not. I’ve left 2 jobs recently because of conflict with my morals. The HR lass couldn’t believe I would walk because of it and when we spoke about it and explained why, she actually wished she could follow my example. I saw my dad in me that day.

I hope not
No big deal but it seems my Dad saved his personality for his mates in the pub

A bit, we have a similar sense of humour, quite calm most of the time.
He’s much better in social situations, I’m awkward, he’s life and soul of the party.
Being like my dad wouldn’t be a bad thing. He’s a good bloke.
