Parents Expectations, what the fuck?

[Salar]

I was chilling in the living room playing the guitar when my dad's like. Man you've been playing for a year and still you haven't improved at all. I took offense so i started playing all these different songs.
My dad's not impressed and he's saying, there's no rhythm in any of your songs. I put on an Oasis CD, put on wonderwall, and play along with it showing dear old father that it's spot on.
What did dad say. Did you write the music?
I'm like... umm no dad
He replies, then your just stealing other peoples music. So technically you haven't learnt anything.

COME ON NOW. WHAT THE FUCK? I haven't even had a guitar for a year yet and he expects me to make millions selling tracks. What the fuck is it with parents and over the sky expectations.

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

hahahaha, should've just socked him

 

[k69atie]

I would have been really offened if my parents said something like that!

Did you say anything back to him?

 

[Amara]

Maybe he was just motivating you to get your ass into gear. lol. Still, that's kinda harsh... you have to learn from others, gather the basics etc to be able to go a step further yourself... having said that I remember when I did Flamenco for a bit... I hated that all it was about was a dance step by step - screw that I just wanted to put some music on and move, screw learning, I wanted to make up my own dances!

Are you teaching yourself or do you take lessons? My brother is buying a guitar soon and teaching himself... like you it is probably due to bloody oasis!

LOL that's pretty funny, should have smacked him

 

[devils_advok8]

lol my dad's even worse, he'd make fun of me infront of his siblings!lol it's all good though, there's alot of competition in the family (my siblings, cousins, etc), but I'm like the outsider who doesnt give a fuck

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

hahaha, i would have told him hey, you the one that raised me bitch, following your dad's footsteps of raising retards!

BAAA!!!

 

[Missy "C"]

haha, I had to suffer something like that too, my parents wanted me to learn music and send me to piano lessons when I was 6, but I dropped it when I was 8. Then I started taking guitar lessons and all my family was so proud... my dad even bought me a fender, it was so expensive... and when I decided to leave it 3 years later he was annoyed, but he didn't dare to say anything

In our place I'd have answered him something even more harsh, I'd have been really pissed off! what did u do?

Maybe you really suck at guitar?? Did you ever think about that?

haha, that was the main reason that made me leave it

 

[The.Menace]

I'm used to it. I'm 22 years old and never every heard my dad tellin me "good job". He always asked for more no matter what I did and even through it really hurted me many times, it made me harder and a better person over all I guess. Can't stop won't stop.

 

[C.R.Y.]

your father is harsh lol. you shouldve asked him if hes improved in bed

I was too shocked to actually believe what he had said. I didn't really lash out, i stopped paying attention to my father at a young age. He just trys to get under my skin sometimes.

I went to my mates house with my guitar and played him all these songs, and except The Cure - Boys don't cry, he picked out all the songs i was playing (he ddn't know the cure song). Plus my wonderwall is top knotch (it's like one of the easiest songs you can learn).

Mind you my dad's used to persian music more than anything else. Do they even have guitars?
