Alright, now as a bit of a preface, imagine if you knew this guy who was sometimes a fun-time to be around, but he has these "man-period" like things where he acts like a five year old, and acts as if he was on a giant glass steed of righteousness. He is extremely racist, a homophobic, and blames everyone else if he does something stupid.
Ok, but what if he says "I was in the Army! You can't talk to me like that! Well when I was a kid, (I'm 15 btw) I always respected my elders! (Yep, "elders") You can't say sh*t like that to me! You don't have no right!" (Yes, I know that's improper grammar.) But this guy is actually a complete asshole to his parents sometimes, and always takes their money when he goes under.
As you can probably guess, I'm related to this person, and I can't stand him at all sometimes. He thinks being the army is a free ticket to act better than everyone, even though his father, to my knowledge, served a much more active time in the army, for more than 6 times as long as this person did.
Am I wrong about this? What should I say to this person the next time I see him? Do I give him too much grief than what he deserves?
And if you haven't guessed yet, this guy is my father. I see him fairly often but usually always butt heads with him. Anyone here have a opinion on this?
(Oh, and yes you can say I'm completely wrong and that I'm a self-entitled brat, for which all I know, I probably am)P.S., don't get all butthurt because this thing is a mess, because I know it is, I just want a quick opinion, or an essay if you want :)

Being in the army doesn't stop somebody from being a ****. That's all I have to say on this matter.

Really? I imagine you mean mood swings. Please grow up.

He sounds quite unpleasant. You can either confront him or endure it. Enduring it is probably the easier option but I'd personally confront him, because if someone is acting like an asshole they ought to at least know it.

I'd catch him on a good day and bring it up in a round about way and see what he thinks in hindsight (lol , hind) of these "man periods".. the only person that can change somone is themselves

He is your father so you have to respect him for that, but it is a father's job to be a role model to his kids, shouldn't instill homophobic beliefs on the offspring, should teach you to respect everybody, men & women, gay & straight, Christian & non-Christian, etc
