It'll break his heart if I tell him I don't like to

Question

My dad bought me a horse about 2 years ago. And I loved horses when he bought it for me. I made him get it. Lol. But I haven't rode in almost a year. I don't like horses anymore. Im 13. But everytime my dad calls I tell him I've been riding. I want him to be proud. I tell him I'm gonna be in rodeo and everything else. But I don't like horses! I hate riding! I can't tell my dad that I want to sell my horse. He's spent so much money already and it will just break his heart if he finds out I don't like to. I have other hobbies. It's like he dissaproves of me doing other things. But I can't help it. I like other things, not riding horses! I dont know what to do. I don't wanna break my Dads heart, but I don't wanna continue doing something I'm not even intersted in. If you've ever heard that song Perfect by Simple Plan. That's exactly what my life is like. I'm so confused right now!! Help. Any advice on what to do?

Answer 1

Well if you don't like it and your not using it you should try to sell it to someone you would want to use it..   Someday hes going to find out you haven't been riding it or going to any rodeos or anthing. So why not tell him now? Try talking to him about how you feel.I would think he would be more upset if he finds out later instead of you telling him yourself.

Answer 2

In that song the kid is TRYING to be perfect, your LYING to be perfect

(See how those rhymed)

But you have to tell him the truth before he wastes any more money, hurting him is your punishment for lying to him for a year.

Answer 3

sell the horse get the money n give it to poor ppl some r not even lucky to have food u know :) n then tell ur dad  

Answer 4

BE CAREFULL what you WISH for in the future...because once you have it.. you better know what to do with it !  Tell you dad the truth, he's a BIG BOY AND he will GET over it ! Don't ask your dad for things you will get board of ,and evenually ware out its novalities And, that takes responciblities on your part, that you are not willing to do after the novality wares off ! WASTE of Money that can be better spent ... like for Collage. Good Luck...and remeber ! BE CAREFULL what you wish for !  

Answer 5

well you should tell your dad the truth and let him stop pay for a horse you no longer want in the end it will be better then lying to him all the time he will understand

Answer 6

This is perfectly normal and okay for your age.  Your interests will change over time, and I'm sure that your dad understands this.  I would suggest talking to him about it...I really doubt that it will break his heart or that he will be mad at you. :)

Answer 7

For one the Truth does always come out one way or another eventually. And the longer it takes, the harder it comes to accept. It looks like your dad is a caring and loving father, so even if he doesn't react the way you wish he would at first, he'd come around. Tell him as soon as you find the right time, what father won't accept what his daughter wants? ( and hopefully your hobbies doesn't include drugs, alcohol and stuff ?? hehe) What I mean is, he'd want to do what he thinks would make you really happy. Do tell him that it has been bothering you as well not to have told him all this time. ^^.  

Answer 8

You can't lie to your dad. It will only become harder to tell him the truth. He only wants you to be happy, tell him that you really appreciate all that he has given you but it was just a phase and your interested in other things.

Answer 9

Everybody grows out of things, so you did...tell your dad the truth or if you continue lieing to him it will break his heart even more when he finds out. He paid a lot for the horse, but you'll get half back right? for selling it. I'd keep the horse and actually ride it because they're so nice and taking pictures of them and of you on it is pretty fun too, I guess that's just me though. Good luck

Answer 10

I think you should just tell him...its better for him to be upset about the horse then to never trust you again after finding out youve been lying to him

Answer 11

Look at it this way, would your dad be upset that your honest and tell him how you feel, or will he be upset if u lie to him about riding and loving horses and keep leading him on about u loving horse riding?.. it would hurt him to know that your lying.. so let him know before it gets too late.
