Answer 1

you missed your dads points that hes trying to throw out to you. He'd rather feed you and take care of your, education you with what he believes to be " good " for you. Sit him down and talk to him, because he seems like he really cares about you. My dad never took me to a museum, but took me to stores all the time and bought me toys, even when it was hurting his wallet.

I don't want any of that, I want him to take me to a museum and to hang with me. To talk to me about the cool stuff that he knows. Appeal to him, and make him feel good for the time he spent with you.

He takes you to rent a boat, because its a great thing to do for you guys to bond. Whats cooler than fishing with your dad, watching him catch an 8 pounder? Or reeling in the sights, and having him tell you stuff that you don't know? My dad never took me fishing, but my friends dad did once, and i can remember everything about that day 15 years ago.
