Does your dad say sorry?

[angelzero]

Does your dad say sorry to you when he has realized he did something wrong to you?

Mine doesn't. For whatever reason or circumstance, he just doesn't. I'm wondering if all fathers are like this.

[caramelli]

Yes. There was one time na super nagalit ako dahil nasaktan ako sa ginawa nya sa amin. Nag sorry naman sya, and I know he's sincere. Naawa din naman ako sa kanya kasi narealize ko, parang wala akong karapatang magalit sa kanya after all he sacrificed for our family. Tao lang, tinatablan din ng galit at inis.

^Sis, baka your dad is the type na ma-pride. Alam mo yun? Diba may mga guys na kahit sila ang mali, hindi talaga marunong mag sorry. O baka nahihiya lang aminin na mali sya?

[angelzero]

^tama yung term mo sis: Ma-pride. He's above us all. Aside from that, he's so patriarchal. Only the father is the head of the family, mother is second in command only. So he has the last say on everything despite the fact that my mom is the breadwinner.

[freelancer_babe]

Maybe mine is worse.

My dad doesn't. My mom doesn't too.

Ganun nga ata talaga. I think ganun ata sa generation ng parents ko. More of They are The boss.

Iba ako kasi. Several times I've said sorry to my kid.

[angelzero]

^That's good to know. My sister is also like that with her daughter. I guess when I become a mom myself I would do the same. Hindi kasi porke mas matanda ka, tama ka palagi.

Good thing my mom knows how to say sorry kahit small issue lang.

[freelancer_babe]

^ Yan ang nagiging away namin, especially yung sa mom ko. Actually it came to a point na hindi kami nag-uusap for many years sa mom ko.

Anyway, ok na kaming magpapamilya sa ngayon. But still, no sorrys, hehe. I learned to accept it. Pero nakita ko nagpapakumbaba na ang nanay ko at hindi na ako tulad ng dati ang pagtreat sa akin. Maybe it works.

Yung father ko naman kasi, tahimik. Not the type na mabiro. Not the type rin na tipong makakausap mo ng pa-open forum style or someone na pwedeng hingan ng advice. Too serious. As in tahimik na tao talaga. Di naman mahiyain. Sabihin na natin na hindi siya ganun ka-expressive as most typical guys.

[angelzero]

^True, acceptance is key. Baka talagang may mga situations lang na mahirap tanggapin yung ganun nilang ugali. And they're at a point in their life na gusto nila sila naman iintindihin after bringing you up. And yeah, since your father is the quiet type, while my dad is the suplado type, why on earth would they say sorry diba?

[showermist]

Oo pero bihirang bihira.

[nageinna]

same here, my dad never says sorry. though to be honest, no big deal naman for me/us. ganon din samin, last say lagi sa dad namin. quiet type kasi my dad, he never speaks a lot. same sa dad ni sis freelancer_babe.

[caramelli]

^^^Ganun nga siguro thinking nya sis, dahil sya ang padre de familia, sya ang laging tama. May I know how old your dad is? Pansin ko lang kasi yung mga ganyang tatay eh yung mga may edad na talaga. Parang yung tatay ng asawa ko, he's already 64 yo. ang daming ginawang kasalanan sa kanila nun pero never nag sorry. My dad just turned 50 btw.

[angelzero]

^my dad is 60. pero ever since ganon na talaga sya. tinanong ko mama ko kung nag sosorry ba si papa sa kanya. sabi nya never.

^^usually nga ata yung mga quiet type na dads ang ganito. i have a friend kasi na capable yung dad nya na mag sorry lalo na pag big deal yung ginawa nyang kasalanan. i'm assuming, based on my friend's stories, na yung dad nya hindi quiet type.

[caramelli]

^ah, ma-pride nga pala talaga si father. dad ko rin ma-pride sabi ng mom ko, pero mas ma-pride daw si mama, haha. siguro nga kapag quiet type, ganun sis. yung iba rin kasi na-stock na sa generation nila. ganun nung araw diba, pag ikaw ang tatay, ikaw ang masusunod at ikaw ang laging tama.

[sistah!]

no. neither does my mom. but we dont fight because ever since i was a kid, it has been made clear to me that i am not, nor will i ever be on the same level as them. although wala naman major na problema sa amin. kung simpleng inis inis lang about habits and stuff, madali yun. lumilipas na lang.

[dcdcree]

Hindi ko pa narinig papa ko mag-sorry..

[gab54]

No, he NEVER said sorry... Nabuhay at namatay na siya hindi ko narinig yun sa kanya.
I dunno, mahirap ba sa lalaki mag sorry? 

[angelzero]

No, he NEVER said sorry... Nabuhay at namatay na siya hindi ko narinig yun sa kanya.
I dunno, mahirap ba sa lalaki mag sorry? 

apparently, yes. you'll just have to get used to it.

[aquacharly]

When he was alive, , my dad never said "sorry".  Deadma.

My mom is worst!  No shred of "sorry whatever" in her DNA.  The whole world  is wrong!, she is always  right... Or she has a convenient scapegoat to blame. 

[daveigh]

^same goes with my Dad AND Mom!

Whatever my dad says is 110% lie.
Yung mommY ko naman has the whole world din to blame on whatever that happened to her.

Tsk. Losers.

[inluvewithmikewesten]

In my 31 years I haven't heard my father say sorry. Feeling ko he thinks it's a sign of weakness.

[agape]

Yes, my dad says sorry, though sometimes it's not always sincere but more to appease me when I'm really angry, he does the same to my aunt, his older sister. But more than just words of apologies, I would really prefer they changed their lives na lang, I mean change for the better, I would be more than grateful if they do. (They means all family members)
