Tough Talk,
I love my father, but I have to admit, I’ve really grown to hate the guy. He’s always talking badly about someone, making snide remarks in their presence and is just an all-out arrogant jerk. The worst is, he’s stupid, coarse and a fall-down drunk with nothing to show for his life. I’m sick of his comments, but don’t want to start a problem. What do you think I should do TT?

Tailor,
Your father is an embarrassment. The best thing you can do is tell him to FO&ES. You may also wish to prepare a list of nasty put-downs and snot-nosed remarks yourself. Have them handy when he starts spouting off like the drunken loser he is. Don’t tolerate this anymore.
