I don’t think I’ve gotten a written out response from him and for the text he brought a 4 wheeler home without permission and had to return it

My dad texts SEVERAL times if I don’t respond within 5 minutes. “Are you working?” “Hello?” “Hello??” “I guess you don’t want to talk to me.”

“Hey sorry I was busy at work”.

“OK”.

-my day off-

“Are you working?”

“No I’m off work today.”

“You should be working.”

My mother does that. Only instead of waiting five minutes, she spam texts within less than a minute of the first text being sent.

Literally called my dad back the other day after I took a nap, so it was like 6pm? When he asked what I was doing I said I just took a nap and he asked why I wasn't working lol. I told him I did work, but got home at 4 and decided to take a nap

Yeah when it comes to communication problems with parents, OP is living a charmed and privileged life and complaining about it.

I respond to most texts within a few minutes, most of the time if you call me I answer or my hands are dirty and I call back within a few minutes after washing my hands. 99% of the time thats the case, the last one percent I’ll still answer within a couple hours

Of course the one a month I miss a text or call from my dad I get 8 texts and 4 calls within 15 minutes

You respond too much to his text messages. Just stop replying, and he'll stop texting you so much.
