Like the title says, i keep thinking about this one incident that occurred as a kid. I was cutting the grass and I was probably around 13 or so. When I finished, I was so proud that I had cut the grass I went and told my parents. My dad came out and instead of thanking me and telling me something positive (remember this was the first time I had cut the grass), he goes on to tell me every part of the lawn that I missed. I was hurt. Very hurt. He passed away 8 years ago and I really wished that I would have had the courage to tell him how I felt on that day.

Even now as a 45 year old male, I still think about it. And it still really bothers me. These feelings came up again when i was vacuuming my daughters room and my wife kept telling me where to vacuum. Those feelings I had as a 13 year old came up again. I know my wife didn't mean it like that, because I told her how I felt but it still really bugs me. I want to let it go. I really do, but those feelings just keeps coming back. And that really bothers me.

Any thoughts?
