    There are times when I'm glad I don't have kids.

    OP: I bet your father is really proud of you.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Saying RX-8, doesn't carry the same weight as sports car.

    Because he's a troll-a-bowling.

    Like Mr T, I'm pitying the fool.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Not particularly funny considering the reason I don't get on well with him. He should be in prison by all rights for some of the stuff he did to me and my sister as kids. He's very lucky my sister in particular is very forgiving. Just for the record no I am not a troll. Everyone is a bloody troll according to some people on this site.

    If you're not so forgiving why are you living there? if you were able to save up a for a hairdressers, i mean "sports car" while at uni And working 7 days a week then why dont you move out, get your own place and then claim off his insurance?
    But you are forgetting that whatever he has done when you are kids, you are choosing to live in his house, and it was an accident. your footer claims you have near £3k towards some kind of deposit? £200 for a small repair wont set you back too much. does your dad have savings? if not consider who is better off between you.
    If it were my old man he would offer to pay, but he is working, he owns his own house etc. but he's my dad, and i understand that accidents happen, so i would try and lessen any affect on him

    If he's such a monster then why do you choose to live under his roof and go on a family holiday to Egypt and are planning another family holiday this year?
    By all means let your Dad pay if he's offering and he can afford to but don't come on here asking strangers to gang up on him with you.
