My dad is really frustrating me.He needs to get all this proof that I have a disability for the DPS system so I can stay on his insurance.He asked me for my social security number and I have it memorized but he wanted proof that I went to go get it and read it to him.I am not a baby and if I know my number I know it!! I hung up on him!! I am so mad why doesn't he take me for my word at 33.I emailed it to my stepmon on facebook so he leaves me alone but I am so mad!! Am I wrong?






I would be irritated too.

I'd be irritated, but then again maybe he means well. I don't know.

even if he means well your still allowed to be irritated.

Its very important and he just wants to be certain no delays occur because of a simple reversal of numbers. But you probably use it alot and know it by heart as most people of your generation do. When I was in college some professors had us use out SS number in stead of our name to reduce the possibility of prejudicial grading. So as a consequence I knew mine from than on. If you have a similar reason for knowing yours maybe you should calmly point that out so he understands how you come to know it so well. Many men their wifes take care of the paper work such as taxes so they know their number and their spouse but the spouse never needed to memorize it so they don't understand how anyone could come to know such a long number. He needs to trust you more but maybe you need to give him a little slack for that to start happening otherwise animosity gets in the way of a trusting relationship ever developing.

Age plays a part. I am 59 and just understand that as we age we have our own set of problems. Problems you can not understand at 33. Just be patient with him .
I am sure you love your father. Just remember he is trying to help you and if he did not love you he would not bother. Also remember you will "miss" that over reacting someday even if you dont think you ever will now. Life is short ~pick your battles.

Dear Nicolea,
Nope, your not wrong at all but keep in mind that your dad is always going to consider you his little girl! Take it as a compliment and it will sting less. Eric

He's only trying to help. I assume he is afraid of making a mistake. Government forms can be pretty intimidating. Give him the benefit of the doubt. Hugs Cathy
