Before I start I will say I love my dad and its nothing entirely wrong with it, just pisses me off sometimes.
Whenever my dad asks me for help, Im not the happiest person, because it's always fixing something in the garden or garage and Im not the most handy person out there. I also hate bugs, so staying away from the dirt is much better for me. But something that has been annoying me for a while is whenever he asks me for help. He always has to explain things like Im 5. Im the youngest child so I have always gotten away with a lot of the work, but that doesn't mean I don't know what I should do, and when I don't know what I should do you don't have to explain things like I'm stupid. It isn't when I'm just helping him out to, but on a normal basic.
Like I was going out with a friend and decided to take my sister's bike. I can't remember the last time she has used that thing, so it needed to be pumped and the seat needed get lower. I asked my dad about how to lower the seat down and then bom I got a whole lecture on how to do stuff I already knew. He went out for a bit and I lowered the seat on the bike, my brother came out then and then my father. Suddenly my father praised my brother for lowering the bike, which why would anyone get praised for that??ย
But it kind of hurt how he didn't consider I was the one doing it, when It was me who were going to use the bike. Stuff like that often happens, he feels like he has to explain everything to me, even stuff I already have done. One thing about me tho is that I always ask about things just to make sure, but when I do that he will often explain it more than what's needed. Cause all I needed to know was if it was correct.ย
Tho im wondering if it's just my dad or does your parents do stuff like this too???

Ok SO it like rlly depends on if he treats other girls like this too!! If you have any sisters and he treats them the same but continues to praise your brother as you explained, then it is, but it also might be because you're the youngest- either way, it doesn't matter because it's still rude either way and you should talk to him abt it. But for me, this also kinda happens, I'm also the youngest and I have a sister and a brother. Often, my mom will call down me and my sister to help with cooking or to set the table or clean smth- she'll also get mad if we don't do these things, but for my brother, he can stay upstairs and yell about needing a new mouse for his expensive PC for four hours while we set the table, if his room is messy, our mom cleans it, and if he wants the kitchen we all have to clear it. Its not js your family, but that doesn't make it any less bad!! Sorry for the long comment ร-ร
Damn that must suck):
I have a sister, but tbh I don't really notice if my dad talks to her lol. She is also a lot outside, so not there to help with these stuff. I also don't know if I should talk to him about it as it doesn't really do any harm and idk if it will help.ย
