When Dad Thinks You're Still Not Man Enough

One of the central themes of the animated film Hop revolves around the fact that the fathers of the two main characters do not quite approve of what their respective sons are doing with their lives.  It is a situation which is not uncommon, although I feel lucky I did not have to pass through that.  Papa already passed away when I reached my 20s.  It must really suck if your Dad feels you're a disappointment!

Well, in the movie Hop, the two main characters manage to make their Dads approve of them in the end - it's a Hollywood movie anyway, but in real life, it's not always that simple!  One thing is always clear though - you'd really have believe in yourself first before you can make your father happy.  Usually, they're just really concerned that you're just wasting your young life away.  If you're clear with what you really want in your life, your Dad will eventually come around and realize that if you're happy with your life, then he need not worry about you.
