Youngster, some good advice below, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. You know your Dad, and none of us do. Is the type of person you can talk to? In my case, my father would take the most innocent question as an attack on his integrity or something. Never figured it out; learned early on to take what he said (or what he meant, couldn't always tell) and go from there. Worked for (and later, with) him until I was 40 years old, 'til we finally split our operations. He was of the generation that never would say, "I love you". Didn't really expect him to, but you'd have thougt one time in 40 years, he could have said, "I'm proud of you" or "You did good". Never happened. He's been gone about 10 years, my wife says my whole personality and outlook has changed since he died. I've got 3 siblings; of the four of us, only one had children; too many bad memories. Can you talk to your Mother about the way things are and why they're that way? I know that at 14, 4 or 6 more years are an eternity......it's been said below, but "life isn't fair" and "this too shall pass". I choose not to post my name; I'm here every day, but a couple of my friends also visit and ......you know.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction?
