My dad has to comment on every single little thing. It’s so frustrating

He is always wanting to correct someone for something. As soon as I walk in the door, he has something negative to say. I got home and he goes “don’t fill the dog’s water bowl up so much.” The other day he got on me because I didn’t fill it up at all. There is no pleasing him. He said not to fill it up that much because we are supposed to clean it when we fill it up. How the hell would that prevent us from cleaning it? I do clean it every time I fill it up.

I had my lanyard and keys on the table in the living room and the lanyard was hanging off the table a little. He said “yeah, that’s a real good idea. The dog is going to get that tonight.” I rolled my eyes a little because he just never stops. I moved it back and he said “no, leave it there. Fuck it. Let him tear it all up.” And that just upset me because he said in such a mean way. Now he is in his room pouting.

Lately it’s been about the dog but it’s about everything. “Why is your food on that shelf of the refrigerator.” Or “your shampoo bottles aren’t even empty. Why are you throwing them away? That’s such a waste.” And yes I buy my own food and my own shampoo. The shampoo and conditioner are made of a heavy material and it feels like there’s still some left when there isn’t. There may have been a small bit but it wouldn’t come out when I went to use it.

He’s just a mean person. All the time. And he always has been. He decided to get a dog even though he gets annoyed by EVERYTHING. He complains daily that the dog sniffs the grass. That’s right. He gets mad that the dog sniffs the grass outside. He got pissed off at me because when he asked if I thought he should get a dog I said no. He isn’t nice. He yells at the dog all the time for no reason. He yells at me if I don’t help care for the dog and if I do something for the dog, he criticizes the hell out of what I do. I’m thinking about moving back with my mom. I don’t like it there much either because my uncle lives with her and he’s gross, but I can’t handle this anymore.
