Nay~ Not many bargains at the shops… they usually have better deals. Gotta get going on my Xmas shopping. I hate Xmas shopping by the way… it stresses me out and I find it wasteful of time and money. I know I’m a Scrooge

In regards to the “nay” - don’t be discouraged!
My Dad and I used to have a very strained relationship in general, which would generally be at it’s worst when we would work together on anything - usually manual labor of some kind. From your posts I’ve seen, it seems like you and your daughter have a good relationship and solid bond under normal circumstances, so you’re already ahead of where he and I were. He’d lose his patience with me very quickly, scold me, make me feel stupid, get angry with me if I needed him to repeat himself. If I pushed back on him, I’d get verbally pummeled into a corner until I would give up. He’s a man who gets very defensive when you question him. That’s not to say I wasn’t guilty of being difficult sometimes myself…but when he gets angry or like it’s being implied he’s in the wrong, he can get very unreasonable. Thankfully we’ve both gotten much better, although it did take a huge blow-out fight a few years back to get where we are now.
I think what’s important is keeping a level head and trying to gain understanding of where the other person is coming from. Same rules as any disagreement, I suppose, but it’s true that with family involved it is another layer to it. Maybe sit down together when things are cool, when you’re not in the process of working together, when things are good between you. Hash it out, calmly. Hear each other out and try to understand eachothers perspective. Refrain from casting blame or dragging up old BS, keep the eyes on creating a better future. Establish what you both need to do when working together in order to maintain at least a civil working part of your relationship. Create an environment where you feel heard, and she does as well. If things seem like it might be hard to have the discussion calmly, maybe have another member of your family be a mediator of sorts to keep things “on the rails”. Just a thought.
All easier said than done, I know, and in my experiences I’m on the opposite end - I’m not the parent. But hopefully you guys can get to a better place with working together.
