Or a good excuse? U might've read a topic of mine where I was checking out the a*se of an unknown sister I have. Well I've got another who I'm in contact with frequently. That photo of me as a baby is from her, given to her by our dad. Told her never to lose it. She's been telling me that he always talks about me - I'm not sure what about but I'm his only son n firstborn. To me he's a stranger, merely a sperm donor. I'm 37 now, I've never known the guy. Mum did a good job of bringing me up, I'm alright with that. Well he's got his own building business (bricky) The company I work for seems like it's had its day. There's no overtime or fk all, wages are s**t. I'm not work-shy, proper grafter me. My sister is telling me I should go work with 'dad' at weekends, learn a new trade. I'm all for it earning more money, just don't want to seem like it's the only reason I'm bonding. Although it's a good way of breaking the ice after all these years I suppose? What do u think? |

I think you may as well gain something from your 'dad', seeing as he did nothing for you when you were growing up.

Could u handle it working on a building site? I don't think you'd handle the hard work and the banter.

If some kinda bond forms out of the situation, that's a bonus. If not, you've learned a new skill and had a go at spending time with your father.

If it were me, i'd want to get to know him, before working with him. You look at someone from a different perspective when you work for them.

If you didn't hate him before you started working with him, you definitely will do after.

joining him for all the wrong reasons. if you want to check him out, then have the balls and tell him and do it openly. dont hide behind a thinly veiled excuse of learning a new trade. personally, my pride wouldnt allow me to.

I reckon it's a less stressful way of breaking the ice, rather than having the big 'meeting' and both feeling uncomfortable and not knowing what to say.

I think you could try breaking the ice, put a little effort out, see if he reciprocates. Maybe he's waiting for you to reach out. Chances are you could be gaining two things, like killing two birds with one stone. If it doesn't work then it just doesn't, but worth a try.
