He taught me that I need to try my hardest not to give up in life because I often do feel like giving up.
 
I've learned how to cook things but also helped I did some very basic cooking in junior high to learn things.
My father? How to swindle, lie, cheat, avoid repercussions and hate everyone who doesn't live up to his ideals of normal. I don't think his teachings stuck, but who knows...

Sad to hear... Some of us don't have good dads, sadly.

If only my dad were Eddie Guerrero, lol.

Yeah, a lot of us end up with some terrible parents, either one or both. It hurts, but c'est la vie, I guess.
 
My dad didn't really teach me anything, he wasn't around in my life.
 
My real father didn't teach me a whole lot and he was a teacher when I lived with him for 2 and half years. He didn't really help me much in life.

How sad. He was a teacher but didn't teach you anything?
 
Not. a. single. damn. thing.
 
Dad wasn't a mechanic, but taught me (and sibs) some basic car stuff that i think everybody should know.

how to change a tire

how to check fluids

how to change oil and filter

Thats good stuff to know for sure!

I don't even know how to change the oil and filter. I suppose I could watch a youtube video and figure it out if I wanted to do it myself though.
 
My dad taught me that men are only after one thing, and that politicians on any side are liars and cheaters, hahaha. I know he's taught me many basic things and I appreciate that, but I feel like I learned a lot more from him in my older age. He's calmed down a lot from when we were younger and done a lot of reflecting back on his own life. I'm really glad I still have a good relationship with him. I just wish we were closer in proximity!

Aww, how sweet. How far away does he live from you?

He's about half an hour from Palm Springs and I'm in Portland, so...about 1000 miles away.
