The "Dragonite Dad" meme made me sad... how is your relationship with your father?

I don't think the meme is restricted only to Dragonite Dad. The meme as a whole is "Pokeparents". Dragonite Dad is just one of a slew of other "Pokeparent" variations.ilspooner said:

And, really, I don't see how this meme at all is funny or anything... It's just stupid and retarded in my opinion.
My dad and I have had our differences through the years, but I respect my father more than anyone in the world. He is a great man and a wonderful role model. I don't agree with most of his religious or political ideals, but I understand that we are all different people. He had to play the bad guy on many occasions for the sake of helping my siblings and I to grow up into the respectable people we are.
I want to be exactly like my dad. Perhaps a little more liberal and relaxed than him personality wise, but I want to be as strong and resourceful as he is.
This meme is...stupid. I don't really understand it or find it funny. Maybe it's because I'm one of the odd few who grew up in a strong connected family unit but I don't find any humor at all in it. It doesn't really make me sad so much as it perplexes me. It seems alien to me to treat your father in such a manner.
I know that I am in the minority when it comes to having an excellent dad. I wish that everyone could have the advantages I've had. I really do.

pretty good, me and my dad are quite similar and so get along easily, plus we have a small tradition of at big family events we always go outside for abit for cigars and a bottle of whiskey- getting pissed with your old man has an almost sacred vibe to it.
You...you seriously put it on there...I...*looks away* Damn that song is powerful...Berserker119 said:
Ive never been "Close" to my dad but we talk at the weekend normally . . . . i feel the need to phone him now after reading some of these posts *sad panda*
I love my dad to bits i really do, however i get the feeling im a bit a disappointment to him. We love each other and such but he's a bit older (he's almost 70 im 21). So we dont have much in common.
So yeah i love him but i think i dont live up to his expectations, he is a fantastic man and he has been wronged a few times recently by other people so i hope he is ok.
Also: It's Harry Chapin, not Cat Stevens please for the love of god stop getting them wrong.
Edit: Here is some Blastoise Dad to lighten up the thread abit.

My dad's great, it's like having an older brother sometimes (like a certain wedding which involved a drunken duet of The Boys Are Back In Town on a table). Although, he does have a tendency to be a bit lax when he really shouldn't be. I've only really noticed this now I'm older, but it does undermine my mum a little when she's trying to make a point.
I have a pretty damn good relationship with my dad. My dad has functioned as the greatest source of humor in my childhood, he introduced me to some of my favorite books and he and I share a mutual love of fantasy literature. Almost always, presents between us are fantasy novels we like that we think the other would also like. My dad is pretty much the reason I love puns, he's who I learned all my funny voices from. He's as big a nerd as me, even if it doesn't manifest in the same ways (I love D&D, he's a medievalist, I love video games... he's a medievalist). When I got into drugs, he didn't make a big deal about it, but was constantly concerned that I not be an idiot about it. Now that I don't do drugs anymore I have a completely honest relationship with him, which is a lot healthier for both of us. His recent bouts of cancer have really made me appreciate him as a human, and I can assure you that there are very few people who I have as much respect for as my own father.
My personal manifesto reads as following: "Sometimes my dad is the grey. But sometimes I am also the grey. But you have to try to be the blue and the purple." And even though it's nonsensical and it comes from a babbling rant I went on whilst on a reasonably large amount of acid, it still holds true today.

I don't know if I have a good relation with my dad. I'm always nice towards him and all, but we don't talk alot, and I keep alot of secrets from both him and my mother.
Although, we do have a weird thing between us two, which is that whenever we see eachother, even though we saw eachother 5 minutes ago, we must always say "Hello" towards one another.
