Is it normal my dad gets really upset when i tell him...

Is it normal that after a exam or a test at school my dad tells me "Is it going to be 100/100?" and I answer "maybe" he gets incredibly upset and makes a scene out of it?

    People are voting wrong. It's not wither you support it. The Q is is it normal.

    YES. He wants you to be the best you can. However he needs to slowly accept that that's not always going to happen. But what do u expect, want him to lower the bar from day one?

    I advise u to ignore him (Dont show him though, he might shoot u in the head). Just dont make a big deal out of it cause u might get lower grades cause of the pressure.

    Wtf...

    No. Your dad is being extremely unrealistic and he expects way too much from you.

    He expects a little to much of you, but it's perfectly normal for parents to do that. Just remember, when you turn 18, you can be out of there!

    You should show your dad this post and the average rating of normality that it received.

  • My parents expect a lot from me but not too much. They say they expect from me what is POSSIBLE from me and I find that they are right. But your dad has some sort of problem he must think you're an adult in nursery school so you should ace everything they make you do.

    Your dad is trying to live vicariously thru you. He is also an a**hole.

  • To me, 70% and higher is considered good. In my province, that is the standard meaning you know what you need to know. I'm not sure if your state/province has that but you definitely should tell your teacher about it. I'm assuming you're in high school?

    NO... your dad expects too much from you... if he makes to big of deal out of it, it can cause more issues.

    My friends dad is kinda the same way. expects too much from her. and she hates him now...

    tell him to relax and not expect you to be perfect.

    If he doesnt stop doing it, it will become overwhelming and you will likely start hating him and arguing etc.

      I do tell him i'm not perfect but that gets him even more upset, and now the only thing i can do to not to make him more upset is to keep my head down.

      • You told him you're not perfect and he got more upset about it? What does she think you are a Mystical Being of Perfection?

        • Unless he tells you you are all from another planet then this is ok.
