Aita For Yelling At My Daughter?
I (46m) yelled at my daughter (14f). Two events led up to this. Event #1, we were in the car and she was talking about her middle school graduation. Saying things like “I can’t believe I actually graduated” “I’m so scared for high school” and more. I got frustrated because she repeated this many times before and I told her that it wasn’t even a big deal and she has to stop acting like she is. She then got mad at me and turned her face to the car window and gave me the silent treatment. So I grabbed her hand and said I wouldn’t let go until she said she wasn’t angry. My daughter then said, “Stop acting stupid and drive with both your hands on the wheel!” She said this in front of her mom and grandma, which I thought was very disrespectful towards me. Now moving to even #2, I was buying cardboard boxes for storage reasons and I left my daughter and wife in the car and forgot to turn on the A.C. When I got back the first time, my daughter told me to turn the A.C on, but I forgot again when I went to help one of the customers at the store. When I got back she got irritated and yelled at me saying, “It’s literally illegal to leave animals in the car without air conditioning, and you left two humans in here without air conditioning.” I yelled at her because of the disrespect she showed me in the past few days, and she started crying. I don’t know if it’s because it’s “That time of the month for her” but she’s been having so many mood swings, and has been disrespectful to me for the past few days. (Before any of you attack me for assuming that it’s “that time of the month” it actually IS “that time of the month” for my daughter)
My wife thinks I didn’t do anything wrong, but my daughter looked mad when she left the car. So AITA?

yeah - father is in the wrong. Event #1 - I understand that hearing you say it over and over is annoying, but he could have told you to politely stop or to talk maybe about other things related to graduation/high school. He didn’t have to be so rude and dismissive. The “it’s not important” catches me off by alot. Seriously? You have the right to a) be scared of hs - that’s when kids start using slurs, dr*gs, teachers become stricter, the workload doubles and concepts get more confusing, etc, b) be proud of your achievement, bc ms ain’t easy And then he grabs your arm. I don’t know your dad’s driving skill, or the road conditions, but “embarrassment” is not pointing out safety concerns. Not the mention how he grabbed your arm and refused to let go is a complete violation and disregard of your personal space. Hitting and beating you is ‘a use of physical force’ and so is what he did, and for something so mild too. Event #2 - not enough info. Did he forget or intentionally leave it?

He forgot, I got a bit irritated because I told him multiple times and I was sweating like crazy too. I admit I was a bit harsh though. But I don't think I was harsh enough to be yelled at.

I think you need to post from your OWN point of view. Not from your fathers.
