I can't relate to that. While I'm not best friends with my Dad like some of my buddies are with theirs we have a great relationship and enjoy spending time together. One of my best friends has basically been drinking buddies with his old man since he was 15 or 16. At 35 it is fine but there were some teenage years where he would have benefitted from a more fatherly relationship. I distinctly remember my dad telling me as a teenager "Son, I'm not your friend, I'm your father.....now go mow the lawn and shut your mouth."
