i was complaining to my dad about how my glasses lens never seemed to get cleaned, and he told me to wash it with soap. I was confused, since every time i cleaned the window or table with soap it left these weird stains and i didn’t want that to happen to my glasses.

i told him i didn’t think that would work since the lens was made of glass. He said the lens was made of plastic. I’ve never heard of that before (yes ik i’m dumb) and asked him how that could work and how plastic could correct vision, and i didn’t think my glasses were made of plastic.

he then started to yell at me about how i always argue and never listen and when someone knows more than you you should learn to just listen to them. He has done this a lot especially when i’m trying to explain myself and he just cuts me off. I got annoyed and said that since he knew so much why couldn’t he tell me how the plastic corrected my vision.

he replied “because it’s plastic”

which obv made no sense and didn’t explain anything so i started to say “no, you have to explain it properly”

as soon as i said “no” he started shouting at me again telling me how i never listen and i should just shut up and listen. He then told me to get lost and not talk to him again since i was so smart.

i googled if glasses lens’ had plastic lens’ and found out that some of them did, so i ended up being wrong. But i still feel hurt by the way he acted and what he said. Was i just being stubborn or was my dad just being mean?

I would say no. He overreacted to a small disagreement.

this happens to my dad and i all the time, honestly for us it’s a mix of me being insanely stubborn and intense about many things and him overreacting. we typically don’t get as angry as your dad seemed to be but if let him know how you feel about what he said, maybe come up with a plan so it doesn’t happen again
