Well I can understand your father better than you in this case. I bet time will come when you'll start appreciating what he did for you. Fathers are not like mothers, dude... Geez - dreaming for clothes and not appreciating a Canon SLR instead.. The time and the maturity will help you appreciate at some point you've had an amazing father.



Added context: my father didn't pay child support. I wanted clothes because all I had was school uniform and old hand me downs.

I would have liked to have eaten something other than boiled potatoes and peas in my birthday. I would have liked to go to the ice rink with my friends. Instead I got a camera I couldn't afford to use.
