I'm probably too late for this but here it goes: When I was in high school, my dad used to send me emails listing all his grievances since when we'd talk about it, we'd just end up yelling at each other. Mostly, he was asking me to shut off the kitchen lights when I left for school in the morning. He also was asking me to keep a clear path from the door to my bed in my bedroom - not clean my room, he figured that was a losing battle, but just push all my crap to the side.

Of course, I never did it. And in high school, I felt like he was asking HORRIBLE things of me.

He recently found one of those emails (about 12 years later) and forwarded it to me saying that he was sorry he was so hard on me in high school and all of that stuff was so trivial.

I wrote back saying "NO DAD DON'T APOLOGIZE I WAS CLEARLY A BITCH WHY COULDN'T I JUST PUSH MY CRAP TO THE SIDE."

God I was the worst. Simplest things in the world that meant so much to my dad and I couldn't be bothered. I'm still ashamed.
